About Melanie Barnfield Photography

A relaxed, friendly and professional approach to capturing your Special Day - ensuring that you have memories to re-live it over and over again.

I aim to create images that will allow you and all your family and friends to re-live your day, see moments that you may have forgotten even happened, capture happy faces of the people you love the most and ensure that everyone has the Best Day. We make sure you have time with your guests as well as some time together to reflect on your Day. I capture all the details that you have spent time and effort on and get involved so that everyone feels relaxed. My aim is to blend in with your guests, make everyone feel at ease and capture all the fleeting and gorgeous moments that create your Day.

  • From getting ready with your girls and guys to saying ‘I do’, from spending time with your mates, sneaking away for some kisses with your now Husband / Wife, to dancing the night away with your loved ones!!!

Hi, I am Mel and this is me with my husband of over 10 years and my beautifulcrazy boys!! I am also Mummy to Scruff the cat and Stanley the Maltipoo!! I love being at the Beach more than anywhere in the World! I started my career in Wedding Photography and in 2010 we had our first son Elliott, I realised how very precious it was to capture each and every moment of him. The pics I took back then were a little shabby to say the least and this was the start of my journey to be a Newborn Photographer. I got myself on some training courses, safety and editing tutorials and soon began to learn the tricks of getting those sleepy, snuggly shots. I can’t say enough how honour and proud I am to be able to create these memories for clients and from my own experience I know how very precious these images are..... they don’t stay little for long and this is a fact!! I absolutely love babies, I love the bonds between newborn and siblings and of course the glow of parents who are so in love with their baby - the newborn bubble your in even though tired and emotional is one of the most precious times ever. x Other than taking photographs I love spending time with my family and friends, I love the outdoors and making the most of every day!
