Kelly Oliver Photography Natural light story telling / Newborn / Babies / Maternity / Families / Elopements + WEDDINGS Hey Im Kelly. My job rocks! Do what you love - love what you do.

I love the people I meet, the fun I get to have & the cool images that I create for people. I’m a lifestyle Photographer based in Hamilton, New Zealand with my hubby + wee gal Zoe & our crazy cavoodle Indy. I like to think we are all normal by having a white picket fence. I like to keep my brain busy with natural light lifestyle photography. From stealing cuddles off newborns, being a baby whisper

, to chasing toddlers & playing peek-a-boo. Love the storytelling of a loveday - weddings are amazing - but this will be my last season 2021 (& only accommodating weddings 5hours or less :) ).

That small pocket of time, just the two of you, at sunset, when we moochi away while people finish eating & the tables are being cleared.
Time which lets you breathe, chat amongst yourselves & just take in the magic.
My absolute favourite time of the day, these literally captured in 10/15 mins … these two making my job so easy, despite shooting from in a bush 😍🫡

Capturing a new journey for these two (well now 3😜) in Raglan, seriously never disappoints. Just loved the cloudy sky giving the soft tones &reflections on the black sand. Morgan seriously stunning, these from her own wardrobe & her piercing eyes 🥰😍

Engagement shoots …. Also when you beg Amanda to use her garden at sunset … chefs kiss I say! Met doing some Christmas shoots up at the hospital & she’s pretty bloody neat! Also has a love & spark for taking pretty pictures to … these two are saying I do at one of the most stunning lake views later this year, can already tell it’s going to be a goodie. Loved this cutie pie shoot w a picnic, bubbles & a glow of a night. Not to sure I could call this ‘work’ … love evenings like this x

What a banger of a day!
Feel so lucky to hang with this crew again, they are a rad time, having captured both of Nick’s sister’s weddings.
Nick & Raychel met working as teenagers at countdown & have been together ever since. Kinda funny as Raychel’s name is spelt with a y so it made finding her on socials hard, made me giggle in the speeches.

The colours of this wedding represent their everyday style but with a twist, earthy greens, dark oranges, beiges, browns & blacks & yellow - their gals fav colour ❤️ set perfectly at at the beginning of Autumn . Pearls were a huge love of Rach’s, absolutely looked Amazing in her dress.

These guys do some of the best dancefloors out there- yes that is Nick playing the drums on his bestmans ass 😂

Actually don’t know where to start with these two.
Now newly married, Jacob & Chantal () we had an idea for their engagement shoot.
I am always blown away by the people that cross my path, Chantal lost her darling husband Sam to brain cancer, ever so young & Im so glad these 2 found each other in the grief & path afterwards.
Seeing them beam with each other, was actually inspiring but also an epic time.
Chantal is a huge flower lover & creator, so it only seemed fit to use garden with a picnic inspired shoot, doused with homemade sourdough, kombucha, wine, fruit, homemade raw slice & pottery pieces that have flowed through her wheel.

Sometimes I swear all I do … is push a button & absorb what’s in front of me … this was one of those times 🫶

The wedding with sunflowers 🌻
This clever clogs, Anna, grew her own sunflowers on her parent’s farm nestled under the pinnacles in Hikuai.
This day was absolutely epic due to the people and & lush environment with absolute awesome DIY and an epic party rolling into the night, with camping for guests to finish the evening.
loved that they maximised hanging with friends & fam as the main part of their day, seriously how it should be.
Did you know that sunflowers symbolise happiness , adoration, optimism and resilience serving as a reminder to seek light and positivity like they do with their habits of turning towards the sun.
Pretty epic if u ask me!

When your wedding celebrates you both as a couple but also the wee one, who is going to join you in a few months. Absolutely could not be happier for these two, celebrating in January … with actual sunshine ☀️ in summer! Must get round to showing you their cats on the dance floor … best cardboard cutouts I’ve seen!

Thought I’d leave this ripper of a weekend (FISHER 🐟 WAS 🔥)with a shoot that has my heart.
My gal Jess ( ) , had the privilege of annoying her & seeing all her huge milestones over the last few years, from her wedding to her 2 gals, wedding make up days & cooking her third for her girl tribe!
Since she was bringing up 💐 with the gender, I knew the most perfect place to call upon & that was my favourite colour crush florist, Amanda’s amazing garden.
Total sucker for anything flower related, and also cute gals with ponytails driving over for an evening shoot.
Much like FISHER … says … are you kidding!
Think these pics turned out literally like that.
Always a privilege… seriously … actually is!!
Forever laughing at how her kids smell flowers, with a scrunched up nose & blowing out rather than in 🥰
