I like .::Ed Cas Photography::. the best. Even though your wife helps, she's not the primary shooter, I presume? It's ok that the bus be named after you. I'd bet you a dollar she'd agree.
E. Cas Photography
If you feel you need to include her what's her first initial? Maybe we can make something of it.
I get images of a cord around your neck with I read triple cord though the significance is cool. Is there another catch phrase from that you could pull?

.. 'Tricor' sounds like a Steel manufacturing company.
My wedding band has a small trillion diamond embedded (it's triangular),
I got it made that way because it has 3 corners representing the perfect
union. Husband, Wife, and God.
I think you've come a long way since Memory Photography .. keep trying
I'm sure you'll find something good.

The idea behind Tricord is good, but that's because you know and
I know what it's about, but to others it's meaningless.
Even 3Cord Studios looks and sounds better, but you gotta
admit 'Ed Cas Photography' PWNS ALL!! If you register that one,
you'll have to send me royalties .. haha !

Tricord is OK, you can definitely build a branding identity off of that. But unless there is a huge JW market where you are, from a business perspective I wouldn't rely on that alone.
And OT my take on Eccl. 4 is it's about relationships in general (the man had neither son nor brother), not about being married. But, it does get quoted on occasion at weddings and you are a wedding photographer (or starting out as one), so it makes sense you would build off that theme.
Besides, even if your wife is a part of your team, it can still be your business in your name. You are the primary at the moment. You can make the argument that if your wife is submitting to your leadership in other areas (for example, by taking your family/last name), the business is just another avenue to do the same.
Also back to your original name, what about using "photo" in the URL instead of "photography"? Or, are those taken?

Didn't read the other posts yet but here is my 2 cents. I use godaddy right now but will be switching soon. I like them and the CS is unreal!!! Seriously, refreshingly awesome. But they may or may not host your site on a server that has adult content. Thus, if people try and access your website from the office or workplace, they will get an error message (if the company restricts certain sites) saying you are attempting to access a site with adult content. Pry really embarrassing for people trying to "show" off their wedding photographer. I don't hate them because of it but it is a bit annoying.

Some other people on another site have suggest to use 1and1.com. All I want to do is register my name, not host with them. And thanks for the reminder about them hosting adult sites, I remember some one complaining about that.

Ok, not wanting to make another thread on this, but I'm thinking of going with viewbook.com for my site and hosting needs. They look decent, great prices and seem to be sufficient enough customizable. Any one use them?

My opinion: Tricord really does sound like some kind of industrial company. In fact, it already is several industrial companies: http://tinyurl.com/yd73qoa
Wedding photography is a personal type of business. Your brand should be personal as well. I like the concept of your quote. Why not one of these:

definitely... When I think tricord I would almost have 3 (red) cords being intertwined into 1, on a black background... I think that sort of a thing would connect more with what tricord means to you than the logo banner you suggested.

Personally, I don't like TricordPhotography. I don't get it and I think it's a little bit of a stretch for the reference you gave.
I'm a fan of using your own name for the name of your company, as an artist. I know you said you don't want to do that though.
And you don't need 'photography' or 'photo' in your domain by the way. People don't like typing huge URLs. Something like EdwardCastro.com would be effective. And it's available.
