I've made a very simple but elegant photo gallery that you can use on your own site. It comes with scriptaculous and lightbox as well to spice the gallery up a bit more. It will automatically create thumbnails for all the images.
You can download the files here: http://www.konradreszka.com/projects/gallery.zip
You can see it in action here: http://www.konradreszka.com/photography/
There's a README in the zip for install info (very basic). I'll be continuing to improve it as well, let me know if you have any ideas for it!

Pretty cool and nice for you to share.
One thing I noticed when going over your site was that the thumbnail previews are often "off". ie.. heads cut off of the bride and groom that are dancing.
I literally thought you had a picture where you cut off the heads until I clicked on the thumbnail and had the full size come up with the heads intact.
So, my request for your future improvements would be that you improve the thumbnail renditions to more accurately show the actual photo.
I do not have a site myself (right now) but am looking at all the options to build myself one in the near future (which is why I took a look at what you are offering).
Once again, thanks for your work and especially for offering it for us to use (free).

That was actually by design.... Rather than shrinking the whole image into a thumbnail, I make a square out of the center 80% of the image or so in the hopes of making the thumbnail a little more interesting.
I'll make that an option though that can be changed in the next 'release'.
