And to say the weather was foul would be an understatement... But the plane did land and Johannes (of Moda Fotografica) had already covered the other bases before heading out to shoot Vicky and Ricky's wedding at French Farm in the South Island of New Zealand. With heavy rain forecast and weather warnings in place, Johannes discussed with the couple what would happen if the weather didn't play nice.

For a number of reasons, Tim Wild has been in contact with our support team probably more times than he'd care to remember. But he's always willing to spend time on the phone and help us get to the bottom of an issue ... and suggest improvements to the software in the process. 1) How does Photojunction support compare to other support services you've used?
