Capturing Love: Rosie and George's Epic Wedding Day at Cossars Wineshed



What a joy it was to kick off the month with a splendid Christchurch wedding at the charming Cossars Wineshed! February greeted us with stunning weather, a complete turn-around from January's gloom, setting the stage for Rosie and George's unforgettable big day. As a wedding photographer in Christchurch, moments like these are the essence of my artistic passion.


My adventure began with George and his groomsmen, soaking in the sunshine and camaraderie. The vibe was relaxed and full of laughter as the lads, clad in smart suspenders, playfully assisted each other in getting ready. We survived the day with only one close call—a suspender clip aiming for an eye—but thankfully no casualties! I left them with a cheeky reminder to stay spotless and dashed across town to capture the bridal preparations.


At the bridal suite, the atmosphere was one of serene excitement. Rosie, radiantly beautiful, was in the skilled hands of Stacey Banfield. Around her, the girls (and Hugh) enjoyed a delicious grazing board and pampered themselves while marveling at Rosie's stunning dress. With a collective swoon over the bride's elegance, we set off for Cossars Wineshed.


The ceremony at Cossars Wineshed's picturesque courtyard was a heartwarming affair. Little Tommy, charming as ever, stole the spotlight briefly, providing an adorable prelude to the couple's vows. As Rosie and George said "I do," the warmth of the sun mirrored the warmth of their love, and it was all wonderfully captured through my lens.


Post-ceremony, the celebration kicked into high gear. With laughter echoing, glasses clinking, and a lively photobooth keeping the spirits up, the guests indulged in joyous mingling. Bridal party photos were a riot of fun—a whirlwind of humor and happiness, perfectly embodying the spirited vibe of Christchurch wedding photography.


Dinner was a treat, expertly served by Cossars Wineshed alongside BBQ Cartel. The culinary delights were both a feast for the eyes and the palate, offering guests a flavorful journey that complemented the day’s beauty. The savory selections were paired perfectly with lively conversations and cheerful toasts.


As the sun dipped lower, we whisked away for those magical sunset shots, capturing Rosie and George in a breathtaking backdrop that will forever echo their love’s story. The gentle hills offered a dramatic canvas, creating images that were both romantic and timeless.


Instead of a traditional first dance, Rosie and George opted for spontaneity, dancing in the circle of their loved ones. The moment was beautifully unique to them—a celebration of unity, love, and genuine connection.


Thank you, Rosie and George, for inviting me to be part of your enchanting day at Cossars Wineshed. Capturing these precious memories was both an honor and a joy. Here's to many more joyful, sun-drenched adventures in Christchurch wedding photography! Cheers to love, laughter, and happily ever after. 🍾📸
