First off, you can't ask for hosting reccomendations on Boards, but this post has suggestions. You will generally get email hosting in combination with your web hosting, how much this will cost will obviously depend on the webhost you want to choose, shop around but bear in mind irish hosted sites will usually load faster for Irish visitors.
You can use something like Wordpress, Joomla or even a dedicated gallery application like Coppermine for a photos gallery, or do a simple html page with picassa/flickr etc. album embedded.
