Good idea.

If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Not sure if she uses a quill - when I used one for a bit I found it a pain because the nib isn't strong (and it's scratchy) and you have to keep dipping the bloody thing in the bottle - uneven ink flow yuck.
Depth of field might be an issue if you're adding objects like that especially if the quill is in someone's hand upright.

... just another middle-aged guy with a hobby. I have an extreme macro learning site at extreme-macro.co.uk - Pentax-centric, your feedback and comments would be appreciated!

hmmm - think you misunderstood me a bit
Try this
A card showing the beginnings of the wedding Invitation - possibly even stopped mid-word
Beside it an open bottle of ink [ pretty wee bottle please ] with a saucer to act as pen rest, with a quill pen with a wet nib on it . Near to hand a selection of little bottles of beautifully coloured inks .
That way no human needed - just a still life set up

I always knew you were an artist Emily, it shows in your photos but your calligraphy is superb. Your work will look just great on the website but I agree with MikeW, the writing needs to be very clearly defined. I don't know if its a matter of lighting or contrast but I accept the very nature of the delicate artwork rules out harsh contrast.
