After several months of lurking and learning I have decided to gird my loins and say hi and thankyou. After a year of trawling around FM and being aghast at pixel peepers on there I discovered this forum which is filled with the friendliest members with the most common sense I could wish for. I have followed avidley discusions about Logos and biz cards as I am only just starting out in photography (been going about 18 months, sports, family portraites and a handful of weddings) and this forum answered so many questions by not only the people who had made a success but also those who are brave enough to admit mistakes thereby saving me from making the same ones, So after starting off with a website www.stevemacphotos.com I have just launched (sounds grand but isnt) www.loveandbride.com specifically for weddings as that is what I enjoy the most, I stole sorry borrowed with pride ideas on logos and cards and site design and gosh sorry I am rambling now. so let me just say a big thankyou and hello.
ps cant believe how good looking you all are makes me feel ashamed to put a pic up.
cheers
