jon,
being in a current redesign situation myself i understand working out the kinks. but i did notice a few things about your site.
your contact page leaves a little to be desired. you should probably make your email a "mail to" link so that clients can click on it and have it immediately opened in their email client. i think you would benefit the most if you had some sort of online form that clients filled out for contact info that was on your site that way they always stay on your site.
i thought the gallery set up was a little awkward. not as flush as clients may want. however, i do understand that when you're building an html site it's hard to have a great gallery browser without a lot of flash.
i do like that you're pricing and your product pics are posted. i think it's fair and honest and immediately speaks directly about he integrity of the photographer. not that saying "pricing starting at $3000" is a bad thing i just really think that brides like to know all of their options up front and if they like your work enough they'll call.
however, i think the explanation about the two images at the bottom is a little more than what clients really need to know about the edit process. i think that type of information is best left to the interview. i understand that there is some tweaking that goes one but you don't want the bride to think that every image has to go through that process. i just finished a wedding where i kept about 1400 images and only had to make adjustments to about 300.
i think that the font you used for your headings could be redone. that's a fairly popular and in my opinion over used font. maybe try using a sans serif font.
finally, i think the color scheme is just okay. i don't like that your info page is white and the others aren't. i think it's better just to have them all the same. you'll also want to keep some room for listing your blog if you set one up.
i know those might sound a little critical but i wanted to be honest about my observations.
hope it helps.
