Very nice work Nic, I'm doing a photographer's site at the moment as well, will get it up for feedback when it's a bit more complete.
Love the reveals on the logo and ornaments, very slick.
A few things I think could be improved on...
The crest in the biog section is a bit basic looking, much prefer what you've done with the one in Contact, way more original.
Given the look of the site I reckon the body copy would be better set in a serif font. The current sans-serif one doesn't seem to fit that well. Not 100% into the black text, have you tried it in a dark brown?
The popup labels on the Nav don't fit in with the look of the site at all, do you really need them? Maybe something like a keyline that slides along under the nav would be better, indicates where you are but follows the mouse when it's over a button then snaps back if you mouse-off?
In portfolio the ghosted image behind the photos is a bit distracting. More info on the photos would be nice too.
