Hi,

If I can just relate my personal experience then that is to keep it as 
simple as possible.

You have the right idea.

  When I went to China and South Korea two years ago, I had a card 
made up;  top center of the card, in large font, my name and 
"Photographer" under the name.  Then in the lower left corner, in 
smaller font, my international telephone number and underneath that, my 
e-mail address, and since I was going to the Orient, I put Montreal, 
Canada under the e-mail address.  Since I was going to China and South 
Korea, where the exchange of name cards/business cards is part of the 
protocol, I had a one set done up with Chinese on the flip side and 
another set, with Korean on the flip side.  I exchanged over 400 cards 
in China alone, in 2 weeks.

If weddings are your mealticket, then say so on the card but otherwise, 
keep it general and simple, "Photographer".  If people want more info, 
they will ask you or will e-mail you. Too much info and I find that the 
card gets  cluttered up.  Get the essentials on the card.

Anyway, those are my two pennies on the matter.

Cheers,
Bogdan
