<p>My two sites:<br>
http://drweddingphotography.com/ (core theme) & http://druane.com (wynn) are both hosted and domains purchased through TSOhost (https://www.tsohost.com/).<br>
The customer service is excellent, I have called many times and have never had to wait more than a couple of minutes. The staff who answer have always been very knowledgeable on the workings of wordpress / SQL databases / FTP etc. The email support is very fast and effective as well. <br>
I think I paid about £18 for 2 years domain renewal, and the hosting costs £35 per year, including 2.5gb webspace, up to 4 sites, 25 email accounts, 5 SQL databases.<br>
They also have built in tools for site migration and a simplified wordpress setup.<br>
Everything has been very well managed since I moved to them.<br>
Just for the record, I am only a customer of theirs and have no vested interest in recommending them.<br>
themeforest is a great place to buy the themes, as it's always easy to download updates and invoices. Out of the two I prefer Story, just make sure it handles portrait orientation pictures well. Both look like they'll do a fine job.<br>
Hope that helps.</p>
