Hmmm, it depends on how you would cover a wedding...
(I prefer a natural look to the photographs, and seek only
to record the event unobtrusively, not to experience a "photo
opportunity", nor to exercise the type of control over the
people/events which would be required to make studio-type
photographs...) I would leave all the above at home, but for
the wide-angle lens, the telephoto lens, the camera, and the
on-camera flash... I would add an identical second camera and
on-camera flash, lotsa batteries, and about 20 rolls of a good
400-speed film (plus a bunch of 800-speed film for late shooting).
I would also take along a 20mm and/or 16mm, and (maybe...!) an
80-200mm f2.8 (only for shooting the ceremony from the balcony).
I would use the flash for fill only (since the 35mm and 85mm wide
and tele are f2 or f1.4's...;-). (My style is to shoot things/people
"as-is", without direction/interference - if you are into
controling/directing things at a wedding [or are more into the flash "bare-light-bulb-in-a-cave" look to the photographs...;-], switch to
a medium format camera, and then maybe bring along all that extra stuff mentioned above...;-)
Hope This Helps
