West Virginia Wedding

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

I was so excited when I arrived and saw Brookes’s wedding details. They were all gorgeous. The tables-capes were perfectly put together, with everything having its place.
As if I wasn’t excited enough when I saw her shoes, my excitement doubled. They were covered in lace and had the prettiest wrap around the ankle.
When I arrived at the bridal suite, the first thing I heard was the giggles and excitement from all the lovely ladies. Brooke was grinning from ear to ear.
It was so sweet to see her sister, Payton, just basking in Brooke’s happiness. In fact, when we did the first look with the bridesmaids, Payton shed years of joy.
There were so many special moments to this wedding. The veil and the headpiece Brooke wore were part of her mom’s veil, which she wore it her wedding day. Her bracelet and earrings are Zac’s moms. She wanted to include them very specifically on her wedding day.
The ceremony took place at The Glade Spring Chapel. It is rustic chic at its finest. With so much natural light, it’s a photographer’s dream.
This entire day was filled with nothing but love and joy. I am so thankful I got to be a part of something so special.

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.
