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

When I try to describe this wedding, I cannot put into words how to explain what a perfect day it was.
When my husband and I decided to have another baby, we planned around wedding season. Of course, we never imagined it would be twins. Twins bring new challenges working I never thought of. I know to some it can come with the uncertainty of having a pregnant photographer in the first place. But let me just tell you, Jessica had 100% faith in me from day one! She has constantly checked on me and the babies every time we spoke.
I will be honest I was nervous about having a 9-hour wedding at 27 weeks pregnant but everyone was so good to me yesterday! I was literally in tears from the kindness I was shown. This day was about the love Jessica and Tristan shared but they also shared their love with me! I am beyond grateful I was able to spend the day with so many wonderful people. This is a prime example of why I love my job so much.
So enough about me, lets just enjoy these weddings photos! I am already obsessed! lol

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.
