Mariah + Justin

Hi, I'm Melissa, a photographer and brand content creator based in Wv. So glad you're here.

Mariah and Justin’s boho wedding was one of a kind. Every little detail was unique in its own way.
Mariah and Justins wedding started out with so much excitement. By the time of my arrival, Justin joked he had already had a pot of coffee. You could see the anticipation on his face. He was all smiles as he waited for the ceremony to start.
My favorite part of the day was when Mariah helped prepare her mom for the wedding. You could see her holding back tears as she smiled at her beautiful mother; such a genuine moment.
Mariah’s necklace is her ‘something borrowed’ which is her sister’s set of pearls that their mother bought her as a teen. Her wedding dress was even handpicked with her bridal party. Her flowers were made by Bessies Florals and they went above and beyond!
The wedding went seamlessly as everyone celebrated their love together. The Tamarack provided a beautiful backdrop for all the photos.
Gail at Mia Bell Originals was the master behind this incredible design. I am always amazed at how she can take Brides’ dream designs and make them magical! The thoughtfulness behind this design shows in each and every photo.
I hope you enjoy<3

Behind the Camera

MELISSA
KINCAID

I've always been drawn to things that feel timeless — beautiful in a way that doesn't fade. That's how I approach weddings, too.
I'm not just showing up to take photos. I'm paying attention to the moments as they're happening and capturing them in a way that feels real, natural, and true to you.
I've been doing this for over a decade, and what still drives me is the same thing that started it all — a genuine love for people and the stories they carry. My work has been featured in Magnolia Rouge, Cake & Lace, and other fine publications, but my favorite measure of success is still a bride who says she forgot I was even there.
Based in Charleston, West Virginia, I photograph weddings across WV, Virginia, and destinations worldwide — and I'd love to be part of yours.
