wedding photography.. sued??

i have been reading a lot of wedding photography questions and a lot of people are warning photographers of not being sued. what are grounds for lawsuits? and just as importantly how do you avoid this? supplies? contracts? any advice will help. thank you!

Wedding photogs are contracted (notice that legally binding word here) to document what some call the biggest day of their lives. Failing to deliver on said contract can result in unhappy customers and lawsuits commence.

There are a host of things that can go wrong with a wedding photoshoot. Equipment failure, the wrong equipment for the job, inexperience of the photog, the photog just having a bad day, the B&G not voicing just what they expect from the shoot, and other things that the photog has no control over like weather.

http://photo.net has some good discussions for starting out.

You will need 2 of everything, especially the most expensive stuff that you own. You will need to have the fastest lens that you can get your hands on like the 24-70 f/2.8. Canon sells one for around $1400, and yes you will need 2 of them. Some ceremonies wont allow flash and the bride will insist on a candle lit ceremony.

Anyways I am starting to ramble. sorry about that
