Answer
Your kit is very much lacking.
- You'll need 2 cameras (what happens if mid shoot your one camera stops working? Lawsuit)
- You'll need a bunch of SMALL memory cards ...
Never shoot on a huge card. You shoot a wedding on one card and the card suddenly corrupts on you, you've lost the whole wedding. If you lose the whole wedding, you'll find yourself in court for breach of contract. Shoot on a bunch of 2 or 4 gig cards. One card dies here and you only lose part of the event.
- You'll need much better glass than what you currently have.
Cheap consumer / kit lenses are great to learn on but their max aperture is too low for most events and in general the optics aren;t as clean as better glass.
My suggestion is 24-70 f2.8, 70-200 f2.8, 50 f1.4.
- You will need, at the very least 2 decent, adjudtable flashes like a Canon 580EXII.
This is the very bare minimum you need gear wise. so gearwise we are looking at 7000$ or more.
Next, get a proper contract, written by a alawyer knowleagable in the laws in your jurisdiction. These contracts will protect you and your copyright.
Next, you'll need liability insurance and equipment insurance.
Good luck.

What is a *novice* good camera for outdoor nature photography?
Tony Skum
So, I'm just getting into photography and I'm probably going to take pictures of outdoor scenes. Most of it will probably be nature but I might take a few pictures of the city. I've already seen that a "Nikon Coopix P2 5.1 Megapixel Camera", would be great, with good evidence of it. Thanks!
Answer
I think most cameras will be good for outdoor photography. When you get a dslr, you will probably want to change your lenses for macro, or zoom lens for distance photography. But, I think any camera can work for outdoor photography. After all, that's what cameras are made for..taking pictures .. ANYWHERE!: )
