I don't think you need really high end photos in a portfolio nor do I think you need a degree. I do think you need a course though to at least give you basics. You can just use an online portfolio & start it that way. There are higher end developer studios in Manhattan (I like Dugggal) and one I've used in Plainview (forgot the name but can try to get it for you).
One thing that's been suggested just yesterday to me was to take pictures of birthday parties. It's actually a pretty cool way to get started - because you can easily capture the party - and there's only one really important shot that you'd miss (blowing out the candles).
I think you'd be great at it.
eta. I'm still debating taking the Nikon digital photography course since I know jack about photography in general. I'll find out the details & FM you.
How do I start an online portfolio, and where do I go to take a course... im totally clueless!

While it's not really a "portfolio", I just use "Favorites" on Kodakgallery.com. That way if someone is looking to see some pictures I've taken or I'm trying to explain the baby in tulle look, I can send them the link. I would think if you decided to do a business, you would want to have a website where your clients would order from (no idea on website design but I'm sure there are people that would help you with that). For printing out your photos, there has to be some service that digital photographer use.
As for a course, I know they have evening courses at community colleges. I've always debated taking one. I think knowing the basics would be the most important. If you want to do it together, I'd love to learn photography. Let me know when & where

Re: Photography school
The Suffolk CC Riverhead campus offers a whole associate's degree in Photography, but the intro courses are offered at every campus. I think those are good to take to learn the special effects which people would request in wedding photography. A good professional camera will cost you a lot to begin with. My brother minored in Photography at Rhode Island School of Design, and the equipment, paper and everything for doing your own developing is $$$$.

Re: Photography school
try interning as an assistant to a professional...you might be able to work and learn at the same time! OR....fine tune your talent and start on your own on craigslist or something and charge really cheap prices.
I remember nsgraham on LIW had a whole budget vendor page and many of the photo/video peopel were just starting out and their prices were low.
