I'm Melanie Barnfield, a Devon wedding photographer capturing relaxed, natural and joyful weddings across Devon and the South West. My approach is documentary and unobtrusive, focusing on real moments, genuine emotion and beautifully timeless images that tell the story of your day.


With years of experience photographing weddings of all sizes and styles, I work closely with my couples to create wedding photography that feels natural, effortless and true. to them. Whether you're planning an intimate Devon elopement, a relaxed Cornish beach wedding or a Somerset country house celebration, I'll be there to capture it honestly and beautifully.

Devon Wedding Photographer.

Devon is home to some of my favourite wedding venues, from relaxed coastal locations to elegant countryside estates. I have had the honour of photographing at venues such as The Barn at South Milton, Hareston Manor, The Great Barn, Rockbeare Manor, Upton Barn, Tunnels Beaches and many many more. Capturing natural, joyful celebrations in some of the most beautiful parts of the country.

Cornwall Wedding Photographer.

Cornwall's coastline creates the perfect setting for relaxed, light filled weddings witha laid back feel. I have photographed Cornish weddings at venues including Polhawn Fort, Launcells Barton, Trevenna and Tredudwell manor to name a few! From intimate beachside celebrations to clifftop ceremonies. This part of the world is simply stunning.

Somerset Wedding Photographer.

Somerset is full of characterful wedding venues, from rustic barns to historis estates. Some of my all time favourite venues Brympton House and Huntsham Court each offering a setting to remember. Oozing personality and elegance these venues make photographing a wedding truely memorable.

Kind Words

Kat & Greg - Mel’s just amazing

“Mel is Fun and authentic. Meeting her she is warm and immediately puts you at ease. We did an engagement shoot as being photographed wasn’t natural and these photos are now up in our kitchen as they capture us. She was thoughtful, listened and understood the details we wanted. On the day she’s the kindest, calmest most genuine person. Throughout the day she captured everything, our gallery is just incredible. She also blended seamlessly into the day, never rushing us and just capturing everything.”
