Airlines have a limit on their claims, and it is printed on the ticket..

As for shooting a wedding that is way too much equipment, for Scott Kelby..

Actually he made some comments in the comments section in the original article implying he did not want to file an insurance claim as his premium might go up. My guess is he had inadequate or non existent insurance, which clearly a professional photographer should have.
