"We can’t recommend Rose enough. She photographed our wedding recently and has provided us with the most amazing images of our day. Rose captured the essence of our day perfectly and it has been so much fun looking through the photos and reliving our day.
Rose was incredibly organised, so easy to work with and made us feel so relaxed. Neither of us love being in front of the camera so it was great working with someone who gave such easy directions and made us feel so comfortable.
We’re so thankful we have these beautiful images to look back on."

"If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Rose was an exceptional photographer. She had excellent communication, was a joy to work with and delivered our photos as promised. Working with her felt like having another guest at our wedding. She moved around the venue capturing photos from all angles without us even noticing.
Rose took the time to understand the cultural components of our day, which meant a lot to us. Beyond her professionalism and delightful presence, her photos were breathtaking. She captured the day perfectly - the colours, the venue, everything was stunning. Our photos are perfect and will be cherished forever. If you’re wondering whether to book Rose, do it! You won’t regret it."

"We would highly recommend Rose.
She was very professional, organised and above all makes the day so special!
We had a very large family wedding, guests from overseas and she was able to capture moments that we are not sure will happen again!
It poured with rain on our wedding day but that didn't stop Rose from being able to capture beautiful photos and remaining positive the whole day! She has great communication and is so calm and kind!"
• Belinda •
“We would highly recommend Rose as she made the entire process fun and stress free. This experience was a very chilled and relaxed one, not awkward. Rose has an amazing eye and was able to capture us for how we truly are in a creative way. Don't put off capturing precious moments with your loved ones!”
• Tayla + Jayden •
"We couldn’t speak more highly of Rose! From day one she was phenomenal to work with and made us feel at ease straight away.
Rose has an eye for detail and made sure to capture our day from a million different angles and captured not only us, but our amazing venue and guests without barely noticing she was there. It showed in the natural and organic smiles on everyone’s faces.
Rose is very easy to communicate with and made us feel so relaxed. We loved spending our special day with her capturing every moment."
• Lakyn + Leo •
"Rose was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer. She made the whole process easy and was super responsive the entire time leading up to the wedding. Her suggested times for the day helped with the time line organisation for the entire wedding in general.
What I really appreciated was all the direction she gave throughout the day! I had no idea what photos I wanted or how to pose or whatnot, and she took the lead and told us what to do and where to look. The results were incredible and I just love the photos. I definitely recommend Rose."
• Lauren + Sean •
"We love Rose! Our wedding day was so magical, and Rose captured it beautifully.
Rose is so kind and warm, we felt very comfortable with her and she was great with the kids at our wedding. Our guests raved about how amazing she was. Rose is a big reason why we enjoyed our wedding day so much. She also stepped in to help with MC-ing the wedding and was completely faultless.
Thank you so much Rose, we are just so thrilled with everything you did for us! We're obsessed with our wedding photos. We highly recommend Rose for everyone's weddings."

“Rose captured some perfect moments for us as a family. Even in the cold when the kids only lasted 15 minutes she came up with a great idea of taking us to a cafe and got some great shots inside the cafe. I loved the way she just worked with such ease and fun which engaged the girls and went with the flow despite the weather.”

"We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Rose Minnée for our surprise wedding and we cannot express our gratitude and satisfaction enough.
From start to finish, Rose went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was captured in all its candid beauty.
The photos delivered were exactly what we had hoped for and more. Her talent, professionalism and warm personality made her an absolute joy to work with. We cannot recommend Rose highly enough."
• Amanda + Cornelius •
"Rose was the perfect photographer to capture our day!
All of the guests and ourselves were very relaxed in her company. We also had a lot of fun during the photographs.
The photos themselves are beautiful."
• Kate + Alex •
"Rose was great at putting us at ease since we're not comfortable in front of a camera.
Rose was able to work well with the weather and got some great shots in the rain.
Thank you Rose for the beautiful photos."
• Kelsey •
“It was a real pleasure to have Rose come to the family home and take some beautiful family photos. Rose made the entire experience enjoyable and easy, from last minute schedule changes to suit the baby/toddler, to her friendly ‘no-pressure’ attitude which really helped us to relax. Thank you Rose for a lovely experience and for our lovely photos!”
• Kayla + Cody •
"Rose did an incredible job on our wedding day! We have beautiful amazing photos of our day.
Rose taught two very awkward people how to pose for photos and became my calm person throughout the day - especially when those nerves kicked in!
We had so much fun with her and everybody loved her. Can't recommend Rose enough! We were honoured to have her with us on our Wedding Day."
• Erin + Paul •
"Rose is an amazing photographer but she also has a wealth of experience dealing with people of all ages and from all walks of life. She has the personality to manage people at weddings to get them to do what they are told too! No easy feat sometimes!
I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Rose to photograph your special wedding day! You will not be disappointed…
in fact it will be the best investment you make to ensure the wonderful memories are there forever."

"We live in Canada and we were in NZ last December. I knew I wanted family photos taken in the Mount.
Rose was amazing from start to finish, making sure my boys were relaxed and gave them time to warm up before starting. What seemed like an effortless hour, was fun for our whole family, and what we got out of it... The most beautiful moments captured in photos I always dreamed to have of my family.
We will definitely be booking Rose on our next trip back in a couple years and hoping she can capture our boys as they grow through our trips back to NZ. Thank you Rose!!!
• Kym + Dylan •
"Wow!!! That is all I can say. I am the kind of person that doesn't like being in front of a camera and somehow Rose managed to get the most amazing photos of our big day. From a bride's point of view, Rose had a very relaxing presence, especially when a few things didn't go to plan. I highly recommend Rose."
• Nicky + Tony •
"Rose was absolutely amazing to work with! She has been awesome at communicating with us throughout the planning process and helped with anything she could.
We did an engagement shoot with Rose first to get comfortable with her before the big day and they were amazing! She made both me and my husband feel super comfortable during the whole thing.
Our wedding day photos are amazing and I can’t wait to share them with all of our friends and family and to cherish them all for the rest of our lives. Would 100% recommend Rose to anyone wanting a photographer!"
• Eliza •
"Rose is such a delight. She has an incredible eye for detail when capturing the littlest details of our newborn baby boy. If you’re looking for a newborn shoot or any family shoot for that matter, look no further!"
• Laura •
“Rose is an outstanding photographer, who totally captured my kids personalities in her beautiful photos. She put the whole family at ease during the photo shoot and made the experience enjoyable for the kids and us! I would highly recommend her. Thanks again Rose!”
• Debbie •
“Rose is amazing! She made the whole experience relaxed and fun. She captured our family in the most beautiful natural way and the photos are stunning. Highly recommend Rose to anyone looking to have photos taken.”
• Jan •
“It was such a pleasure to have Rose take family photos to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary recently. With little people between 2 and 8, me in a leg cast and being at the end of the day, it was not the simplest of photoshoots. Rose perfectly balanced being professional, relaxed and flexible. It was a really enjoyable experience and we have some lovely photos to remember this special event.”
• Angela •
"I love my photos from Rose! She listened to what I was after, I wanted the shoot to be very natural and not too posed and that’s exactly what she did. Rose was great with my kids including my crazy 4 year old boy! Would recommend Rose to anyone wanting beautiful family pictures."
• Clare •
“Had such a great morning with Rose at our family photo shoot - she was fun and relaxed; and also very organised. She knew exactly what would work and what didn't with our family! She was incredible with the kids, and so relatable with them. Would thoroughly recommend Rose for any kind of photoshoot!”
• Amber •
"Rose did an amazing job of making the shoot fun and ensuring we felt comfortable. She had her work cut out for her as our two year old is a bundle of energy and there was no way she was going to sit still or even stand still for more than a few seconds.
Rose had some brilliant creative idea like us swinging her and some good old peek a boo. We are so grateful for the absolutely beautiful photos of us all, but especially of Sophie as kids grow up so quickly."
• Amanda •
"From the first time I met Rose she has been absolutely wonderful, friendly yet professional, warm and compassionate, the list goes on. We've used Rose now on a number of occasions, from capturing precious memories at our engagement party, to photographing our wedding, a family / maternity shoot and most precious of all was the birth photography. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Rose to anyone!"
