I'm Olga Levien, an Auckland award winning wedding photographer, wife of a handsome kiwi husband and Mama of 2 beautiful babies - prince William and princess Anna-Bella.
I am originally from Saint-Petersburg, Russia and met my husband overseas in Europe (English is not native language for me, more use to Russian). The next thing I know, we moved to New Zealand (a very beautiful country with wild nature and a great lifestyle). Our wedding was simple with only a few guests. Our two babies were born one right after the other (that was the plan!). They are so gorgeous and active. Yes, they can be a nightmare sometimes, but I love every moment with them.
My past teaching experience helps a lot with organising my sessions, I earned PhD and was a geography lecture at Herzen University. I am a people person, I love to talk and make everyone relax, even in hectic moments!
When I was little I dreamt about:
- travel - and now I live in Hobbit country and I am happy to travel around for destination weddings!
- being a figure skater - I started to learn figure skating when I was 25 and can do jumps and spins now - all things are possible if you really want them to happen!
- history - going back in time to explore and experience different time periods and wear beautiful dresses - now I love to create these artistic moments with my camera, no limits for imagination!
I love storytelling and being part of engagement and wedding celebrations, capturing all the raw emotions, seeing moments of both laughing and crying, documenting the true story of your special day. These are such treasured memories - everyone deserves to have their story told in images that speak from the heart! Love is all around us!
