West Virginia Wedding

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

I could talk about this couple all day. Jennifer is the sweetest soul you will ever meet! She is so kind and has the best spirit about her. She is most definitely the type of Bride that photographers love to have! I was so thrilled when I met them at their engagement session. She and I instantly clicked. That is so important especially since I spend more time with her than her groom on her wedding day!
It took maybe two poses into their engagement session for them to warm up. If you haven’t seen their engagement photos you are missing out! I noticed after the first pose how much Jefffrey adores her. I think I have told Jennifer a hundred times but I love how Jeffrey looks at her! You can see his affection in his eyes, it is beautiful!
I love it when Brides want my help with Wedding details. It makes photos x10 better! Whenever Jennifer asked me about bridal details I was so excited! The best day was when she sent me a photo of her shoes! Y’all my heart melted! Sparkle heels make the best photos and I can prove that below 😉
As I arrived at the bridal suite the bridesmaids were so welcoming and helpful the entire day. I love watching the interactions between Jennifer and her MOH Sammi, they have a friendship every girl needs in their life.
Wait until you see the bridesmaids photos too, these girls are gorgeous!
The sweetest part of the wedding day was most definitely the ceremony. Jeffreys’s niece was about to walk down the aisle and she yelled ” fluff is getting married!” (that’s Jeffrey) and then she asks, “but where is Wawa?” (which is what she calls Jennifer) If that wasn’t cute enough when her basket ran out of flower petals she threw it down and ran away!
Jennifer had both her dad and stepdad walk her down the aisle. It was as if Jennifer couldn’t get to Jeffrey fast enough.
The Wedding portraits are some of my favorites of the year. The light was perfect and the location was stunning!
The reception was also one of the best of the year! Bravo Dj Live kept everyone on the dance floor. The girls partied from the first dance to the last dance of the night. They even got the guys out there by the end of the evening.
This wedding was a joy. It was relaxed and full of love; from the moment we arrived to the fireworks at the end of the night. This wedding will always be one to remember.

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.
