Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love…
Anne-marie – After working in corporate marketing and communications for about 10 years, about 2.5 years ago Taylor and I decided to start our own business.
Tim– I play professional cricket, hence the winter wedding. I’m a keen golfer, love time spent with our family and friends, enjoy a good flat white and people watching. Morgan– I work in cricket — I’m the marketing and communications manager for one of the teams Tim plays for, which is hilarious because before we met I knew nothing about cricket.
The Roman god of love himself has lent a hand in creating Karen Walker’s latest jewellery collection, Cupid.
For issue twenty-six of Together Journal, we decided to focus on coloured jewels as well as beautiful clear diamonds for our Objects of Desire editorial section. Coloured stones are a trend we are seeing more and more for engagement and celebration rings. See how our favourite jewellers are working with precious coloured and clear stones as well as favoured pearls below.
A new transition will allow Natalie Marie Jewellery to wholeheartedly focus on conscious creation.
Our friends at Sisters & Co have a gorgeous collection of jewellery, perfect as wedding accessories for guests, maids and even the bride.
We are looking for real people to appear in a Together Journal editorial shoot based in Lake Hawea.
Anni– I work at a charity running an education program and occasionally do floristry jobs on the side.
I grew up in Finland where my mother is from, but I’ve spent a lot of time in Australia because my dad’s from Sydney. I have a passion for learning new things, boxing, exploring nature, and diving.

Radek owns a Gym, TOMFIT, on the North Shore and I am the Head of Marketing Communications at Samsung NZ. We both love keeping healthy, working out, skiing, and we definitely overindulge in wine. Travelling is a big part of our lives, Radek is from Prague and pre COVID would go back every year to see his family. We’re both super excited we’re able to travel outside of NZ again.
We are bringing back an edit of our top-performing real weddings from the TJ archives. These are our very best weddings that our audience has loved the most, and the ones we think are still very relevant and aspirational…
We are both artists pursuing creative careers. I’m a designer and he’s a musician. Our life is in a constant state of evolution and experimentation and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
