I wouldn't even think you were available for hire, as it just looks like a portfolio for sharing images, not that you're a business that I could hire for a wedding.
Your biography seriously downplays any expertise you have/don't have. I think making it sound like a business would be the first step, and then listing a price of some sorts. Your non-wedding galleries seem superfluous to your goal if you want to shoot more weddings.
I understand what you are saying and I'll try to improve/refine my site.

Lots of info, looks great. I think the font is tad hard to read sometimes, feels squished together a bit.
Based on presentation, I think you could go either way. Low-middle or really high end. Not sure if that enigma is what you think is best, but I think a starting price could possibly qualify clients more. I imagine in NYC that people have serious money to spend, and if someone is too cheap they might pass simply on price, but if they knew you started at $5k that might help.
Tough to convert what in my mind is US$ to your R$. You said R3500 as a starting fee, which would equate to like US$380. So I have no idea about what price would be accurate, as I don't know what is considered expensive there. But, based on that, at least you have a starting price.
I think you should segregate the pricing from the FAQ and make it's own page. If people like your work naturally they want to get an idea of how much it might cost, and I think making it as simple as possible for them to find the important information that they need is crucial to them sticking around the site and ultimately contacting you.
Again I'm battling a societal issue here as I have no idea what business/photography is like in south africa!

It was very helpful last time so let's do it again!

Weddings - $3000 to $4500.
Seniors - $600-1400. You said "in-tudio", did you mean studio?
Families - $800-2000.
Very nicely laid out informationally, but graphically I think it could be a tad better. Give the content area some space on the left and right, its right along the edge!
I would love for you to have a look at my site. It may be difficult to give pricing as we exchange in ZAR, but if you could let me know the worth in $ that would be great.
At first the background image didn't load, and the all white looked really high-end. Then it loaded and didn't look quite as expensive...
It's hard to say without any inkling of rates. You could be super cheap (unlikely) or mega expensive (unlikely), so I'd say you're middle of the road. $3000-5000.
On your storytelling, it's not immediately obvious to click on the image to go to the story...maybe change the graphic a bit instead of just text on the image?
