West Virginia Wedding

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

This wedding day was blessed! The entire day was overcast and the clouds looked as if they could burst at any moment! Somehow the rain held off the entire afternoon for us.
Elizabeth was a joy to work with. She had a wonderful group of ladies by her side too. When we arrived at the wedding they were so sweet to update us on the Wedding Details and help my assistant and me with anything we needed.
This wedding was so special. Brandon and Elizabeth did their first look just between the two of them. If you look at the ceremony photos you wouldn’t have known it. He was holding back his tears at the first look but he also held back tears as Elizabeth became his wife. These moments were some of my favorites of the day.
Both Elizabeth and Brandon’s families were so welcoming to us. They treated us like family the entire day. When it comes to wedding days, I feel like that is so important. It is important that all the events flow well but also all the parties involved mesh well too. This was definitely the case for this wedding. Serving them and their photography needs was an absolute joy. <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.
