Link Love #19: TKM Productions – Part One
Thursday, October 21st, 2010I recently came across the talented Kalimna from TKM productions and thought that you would love to see some of herbeautiful wedding photography too. Here is a little from Kalimna herself:
‘TKM productions is a photography partnership between myself and my husband. He is the T (taras) and I am the K (kalimna) and our surname is Mohamed. We are both trained commercial photographers from RMIT in Melbourne. And after starting our family I changed career paths to pursue portraits and weddings. Which has been a great decision as I truly love the work. It is not for everyone, but suits me wonderfully.
I work from home around my two children and hope to dedicate more and more time to this side of our business as the children grow more independant.
So for now when Taras and I work together on photographing beautiful weddings we have a ball. It is still work, but it is work and time we love spending together.’
As Kalimna provided so many beautiful photographs we have split this article into three parts, so keep a look out for part two and three later on in the week!
1) What’s your favourite way to relax at the weekend?
We are AFL football fans – so normally we head to the park early; play with the kids and head home in time to either listen or watch an AFL match. When footy season is over it is more free time to be spent relaxing and pottering around our home.
2). Favourite restaurant?
Pizza Mienne Liebbe – fabulous local pizza with a great attitude to families. They bring the kids dough to play with and are so friendly.
3). What book are you reading at the moment?
Eat, Pray,Love.
4). What did you last go and see at the cinema?
Inception. Terribly interesting. Hope that I understood the end but love hearing what others made of it!
5). What is your favourite wedding story?
Almost all of them. Being in love and planning a life together is always so special.
Thanks so much Kalimna. For more eye candy visit their website at www.tkmproductions.com

Thursday, October 14th, 2010Today we are going to introduce to Sandy from Blumin. With a fabulous name like that there’s little need to tell you the business she runs!
‘Blumin’s focus is to provide pesticide-free flower & herb designs, picked straight from the garden to you. The makings of each arrangement is selected, hand-picked and carefully combined.

Breathe the perfume in and almost involuntarily your reaction will be “aaahhhhhhh beautiful”……..
Our arrangements, the makings of which sourced from the rich soils of Daylesford and surrounding Macedon Ranges region, take on the colours and textures of each season’s best offerings. Of course, in summer roses feature. But depending on theme and style requirements and the season, you may find the likes of kale, wild strawberries, poppy-seed heads and chestnuts and herbs such as angelica in your bouquet.
Blumin has now been involved with many weddings, supplying simple bouquets of white roses as well as more “decorative” and complex arrangements including, wired diamantes, tulips, peonies and the like. Today’s Brides are more and more planning weddings which are “Green”. Whether it is sourcing local products and services or using vintage or recycled items, today’s bridal couple is eco-conscious.’

Link Love #12: Alex Road Photography
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010Well, I’m very excited today to introduce you to a great photographer I’ve discovered called Kelly Gilbert from Alex Road Photography. She has sent though some beautiful images from a wedding she recently shot – and I just have to mention that I am loving the brides head piece! As well as the beautiful wedding photographs there are also some stunning child portraiture shots to follow. So over to Kelly:
‘A big thank you to Ellen for featuring my business on Link Love. I’m so glad I discovered Ellen’s blog. I’m always filled with inspiration & ideas every time I visit. I’m a Melbourne based photographer, specialising in wedding & portrait photography. My main aim is to capture moments, emotions and feelings through my images. My style is very relaxed and natural. With my wedding work I like to create the romance and emotion that the day brings. Every wedding is different and unique and no two wedding albums should ever be the same. I like to work closely with my couples, creating a relaxed and friendly environment. I work the same way with my babies and families, capturing personalities. Whether it is a cheeky grin, a toothless smile or making mud pies in the back yard! The best images are the ones that are un-posed and natural, giving the viewer a little insight or story about that person.’
And here is a little insight to the girl behind the lense:
1). What’s your favourite way to relax at the weekend?
Anything with the family, picnic in the park, riding on Melbourne’s fabulous bike tracks, a day at the beach, movies. Anything, as long as we are all together. I’m finding as the kids grow older, family time together is getting less and less.
2). Favourite restaurant?
I love Thai food. We have some great local thai restaurants nearby, Thai Tables in Bayswater is a new discovery.
3). What book are you reading at the moment?
Trashy magazines and The Age.
4). What did you last go and see at the cinema?
Toy Story 3. The first one is still my favourite. And yes, lots of tears during #2 and 3.
5). What is your favourite wedding story?
My favourite wedding story starts even before the wedding day. The couple, both originally from England, invited all their relatives to their Melbourne wedding. I’m told all 30 relatives flew over on the same British Airways Flight and it was one long party that lasted over 23 hours! Most of the guested stayed with the bride and groom for the 2 weeks they where in town. By the time the wedding day arrived, the poor bride & groom were exhausted from non-stop sight seeing and party going. They were defiantly looking forward to their honeymoon!
