A friend is doing our wedding photos next month - I think the quality is good and he does other bits and pieces such as picture framing and might be able to accommodate you. He works out of his studio in Lisbane so no high overheads and close to you: http://www.lisbarnettstudio.co.uk/

All digital cameras have a macro facility, have you experimented yourself?

Any reasonable 8 - 10 megapixel camera with macro setting, turn the flash off, a tripod, a nice piece of black velvet, a table and a couple of these

I have seen these lights cheaper in B&Q as well, get 4 and you have complete lighting rig:T:T:T

And YES I am a full-time specialist professional photographer;)

That is such a helpful and honest post. Good to see people on here willing to help and not tout for business! Well done Steveymp :T

Plenty of excellent advice. Even better take your pics out of doors and don't even bother to buy lights. Colours potentially more easily accurate as well.
