Libby + Hunter

West Virginia Wedding

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

I could sit and write about Libby alllllllll day long! She is so kind and just a joy! After Hunter and Libby’s engagement session last May, I have been (un)patiently waiting for this wedding!
Hunter and Libby’s engagement photos are some of my favorite images I have ever taken. They chose the most beautiful locations, and while I am sure they didn’t realize it, they are both so photogenic!
Libby chose the sweetest venue, Honeybee Hills. It is nestled in the countryside, completely secluded. The ceremony area has a beautiful backdrop with a field and rolling hills!
When my assistant and I arrived at the wedding, the atmosphere was so relaxed. Libby and her mom, Jo were so helpful with anything we needed. The ceremony was rustic chic, I loved all the greenery and every unique little detail Libby added.
Libby’s first look with her dad was such a special moment. You could tell that he was trying so hard to hold back his tears. Once he let his tears go, Libbys eyes overflowed as well. One of my favorite moments of the first look is when he stepped back a second time (5 minutes into the first look) to look at just how beautiful his little girl was. I peeked over to see Jo, Libby’s mom also flooded with tears of happiness.
This wedding was hot and humid; the poor gentlemen were sweating terribly. I am so thankful that they didn’t allow the heat to phase them. Every single person, from the Bridesmaids to Bridesmen, was an absolute joy to serve.
I couldn’t hold my eye open when I got home from this wedding, but it was worth every drop of sweat and all the exhaustion. This wedding will always be one of my favorites!

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.
