Staveley Co-op 1916 Styled Shoot I Contemporary Wedding Inspiration in Mid Canterbury

Staveley Co-op 1916, a beautifully restored early-20th-century building in the foothills of the Southern Alps, provided the perfect backdrop for this collaborative styled shoot in Mid Canterbury. The concept was simple: modern, understated wedding styling with fresh whites and clean lines that highlighted the venue’s architecture, original character, and industrial vibe. The venue offers a flexible, private setting for stylish celebrations, giving couples a unique and picturesque space for their day. Photography by Jaime Mclauchlan Photography
