TRUST ME you will not regret hiring Melissa for your wedding!!!!!! Not only are my pictures GORGEOUS but they capture our emotions so perfect. As a bride you have a lot of decision...
s to make and photographs are the ONLY thing you get to take away from your wedding day (other than your groom LOL). The flowers will die, the decoration get sold, food/cake gets eaten, your dress is put in a box, but your photographs ….. the photos last forever. I can’t even count how many people have told me my wedding photos are the pretties they’ve ever seen.
Other than the fact the pictures are perfect, Melissa herself is so sweet and kind!! She compliments everything about your wedding and yourself making you feel like you’re actually the most beautiful you’ve ever been! That’s important when a camera is infront of you!! I was also SWEATING on the dance floor and she gave me her clip to hold my hair up !!!! I actually still have it!!
One more thing, we got our sneak peeks LITERALLY the next morning…. like what ?!? That never happens!! I was so so so excited when I saw them on her page !!
Truly so thankful I booked with Melissa !!
I met Melissa 10 years ago for my senior portrait session and knew when I was to get married I had to have her! I have loved every picture she has ever captured for me and watched ...
her work flourish and grow! Every time she captures photos for me it just gets better! On September 27th 2025 I got married and she captured my wedding photos and they are nothing short of amazing! When working with her she is super professional, makes you feel comfortable and knows all of the perfect ways to pose you to make you feel your best! When you choose Melissa you will never be dissatisfied! I could not recommend her enough and will continue to use her for every milestone in my life!
Melissa exceeded my expectations as a wedding photographer. Initially, I picked her based on her photography style, however, I grew to love her fun personality, promptness with del...
ivering pictures, and creativity. She took my ideas for a backyard engagement session and first look at my grandma’s and ran with it. We couldn’t be happier with the results!!
I have nothing but good things to say about Melissa! I'm usually very awkward when it comes to having my picture taken and don't like the way the photos turn out. But from the very...
beginning, Melissa made it to easy for my husband and I to be in front of the camera. Our engagement photos were so much fun and then the day of our wedding, she showed up early and stuck to the timeline we had previously set together. The photographs were one of my favorite parts of the wedding because she made it so fun! The photos turned out amazing. She captured the emotions of the wedding day so well that when we looked back at them, my husband and I teared up again (we're softies, we can't help it). We can't wait to display some of them in our home. Long story short, I highly recommend Melissa for ANY kind of photography - especially weddings!

She really cares and wants to make your day so special. She was there to help me and to listen to me complain. She was just as excited as I was for my wedding pictures. She helped to keep us on track and keep everyone in line. Just listen and trust her and you will have the most beautiful wedding pictures..they are even better than anything I could’ve dreamed of! I can’t wait to have her do my pictures in the future! 💓

east, however, Melissa was SO helpful throughout the entire process and easily adapted to all of my changed plans. I ended up having a very small ceremony with only immediate family and the bridal party, but Melissa made sure I had every picture I wanted and more!

My pictures turned out beautiful and I cannot thank her enough for all she did!

. As a bride planning a wedding through a pandemic (COVID-19) it was very stressful but she made me feel 100% better and assured me it would all work out. She was so accommodating through everything, even after having to downsize our guest amount. On my wedding day she made me feel like we had been friends for years. She is so sweet, personable, & the quality of her work is just breathtaking! She will forever be “my” photographer for all my future photography needs!
Melissa captures every special moment of our big day. She was very accommodating and patient.

We could not have asked for anyone better for our wedding day. All of our future family and couple photos will be done by Melissa (no question about it)
Melissa has several packages to choose from that are affordable for even couples on a budget.
Melissa also has someone with her on your wedding day to make sure ALL moments of your special day is captured and NOTHING is missed (even your groom's tear rolling down his face)

gagement session as well, so we knew she was good, but getting our wedding pictures we were completely blown away by how amazing they were. You get to re-live the moments in the pictures and the way she captures it you feel like you are right back in your wedding day. It's magic. She not only captured the important pictures, or the poses that I wanted or that she had come up with (she has an eye- give her freedom and trust her) but she captured true, intimate moments of me and my husband when we didn't even know she was clicking away. Our pictures are so important to us and of course yours will be as well, so do yourself a favor and book her now!! She is the best!!

The day of the wedding was so fun, she and her assistant arrived promptly with a smile on their faces and were ready to start shooting. Any and all pictures that I could’ve asked for, were taken.
She was more than accommodating throughout the night and really had a way about making anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.
I couldn’t recommend her enough. We got a sneak peak very quickly and let me tell you, the pictures were to die for. Top notch photography. I will forever recommend her, and use her for all the upcoming milestones in my life for sure.

Melissa puts her whole entire heart into giving each of her Brides and Grooms the best pictures and the best overall experience! Melissa is super organized, easy-going, and such an amazing person! My husband and I are so excited to hang these beauties in our home! I definitely recommend booking Melissa Kincaid Photography as your wedding photographer!
