Hi I'm looking for some Photo Storefront. I need to open storefront for Wedding pictures but not only, there will be few other "subjects" that I wish to sell to my clients.

Any advice which should I choose ?? I need professional service, something that I can trust.

Printroom ?? Smugmug ?? Zenfolio ?? Do you know any other ?? any advice ?? Thank you for all your help !

An online storefront - I thought you were talking about an actual store.

I use Zenfolio and have been very happy.

I picked Zenfolio because it was cheaper the Smugmug. Right now it works for me and no reason to change. It is easy to set your pricing structure and setup private galleries. So it does what I need.

I picked it because it used Mpix for the prints, and seeing that I use Millers for a lot of my other stuff (same company and printers, different market segments they cater to) I liked the correlation.

Now that they have their blog feature, it makes it SOOO much easier to blog too.

You can sign up for free trials for any of these and figure out which you like best. I tried smugmug and zenfolio and much preferred zenfolio's interface. And while it wasn't a deal-breaker as much as the user experience, I think smugmug is a really dumb name.
