Shooting the mob?

Can you recommend a good photographer in the Philadelphia area who will come to an event and take a group portrait?
My parent's 50th wedding anniversary is in June and we are planning a small party for family and friends in Delaware County, PA (near Philly). As one of our gifts, we want to have a portrait taken of our family. This is something my mom always tries to do at every wedding we have, and they never seem to turn out right because people are mussed up/sweaty from dancing, or the light's bad, or there's no good background for the picture. We considered getting everyone to a studio, but with 18 of us in the immediate family, it seems unlikely we'd pull it off.
So, can anyone recommend an event photographer in the Philadelphia area who'd be able to come to our site with the appropriate lighting, etc. and take a few portraits? We aren't planning to have them stay and photograph the event. Bonus points if you can give me an idea of what it might cost.
Yes, I know it's short notice for prime wedding season, but we can't turn back the clock.

My friend Andrea can very likely help you out. If not, I'm quite confident she can direct you to someone who can!

Matt Wright photographed my wedding, and he was pretty great.
