Madalyn + Daniel

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

Madalyn is the QUEEN! Her wedding was magical and filled with the most beautiful hand-picked details.
Madalyn and Daniel chose to get married at J.D Saltworks, which is a little hidden gem. The venue not only had a flower garden but a fairy garden; they both were incredible.
Since I met Madalyn at her and Daniels’s engagement session, we just meshed so well. Her personality is my favorite. She is spunky, funny and she also has a heart of gold. She had everyone laughing all day long.
(if you peep the photos, you can see her constantly giggling.)
Before I continue, let’s talk about the elephant in the room….Her shoes! I cannot express enough how much I looooove her heels! I may have gone a little overboard on the photos of the shoes, but how could I not; they were everything.
Madalyn planned her wedding so perfectly. She had cakes as her centerpieces; they looked so pretty and smelled amazing! The Cake Artist, Candice Meade put so much detail into every cake.
I loved the Florals at this wedding. They were so fresh with the perfect ratio of greenery to flowers. This is my second wedding working with the Putnam Market, Leah Meeks, and she has such talent!
One of the most memorable moments of the day was during the mother-son dance. Madalyn sat to the side, wiping tears from her eyes as she watched them dance.
This day was nothing short of magic. The atmosphere, the food, the company, it was a day 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.
