90% (higher, if need be...) of wedding photography
can be done with a good 35mm FL lens (preferably
one that is good at f2); second choice for me:
20/24/16; third (but still useful), the 85mm f1.8.
For exterior work I add a 24-120 and a 75-300;
for interior work, I may add an 80-200 f2.8...
I shoot "as-is" photos, though, all available
light (with fill-flash) - but if you shoot mostly
"set-ups", you may want to consider a 2 1/4 with
50-55mm and 100-120mm lenses (for 6x6 or 4.5x6)
and a set of lights...
