Yeay Jo, many congrats - if I wasn't married already I'd get married just for your photos.  I don't know if I can help, but I know (slightly) a fair few people who are getting married at my church this year (St Pauls, opposite the Halifax, so your transport costs would be pretty low!) I'll start putting the word about.  Pass on your website addy.  One word of warning though - every wedding photographer I've ever seen, male or female, wore a very slightly shiny suit - is it in the rule book?  Don't do it!  l

Dear Mrs Photographer..

Exactly WHAT is a tucano  ???

P.S. And does this mean you can do photograhy magic and make your 'competition sunflowers' appear taller than they are ;) ;D :D
