[QUOTE="zx7dave, post: 1090, member: 257"] I agree with the renting of the lenses if you can...a 50 or 85mm 1.4/1.8 would be real good for portraits and small groups...you might be able to shoot some without a flash depending on how bright it is. But you might have to play with ISO and white balance. Haw fast can you change lenses? Generally in a wedding you do not want to be far away from your 85mm low light lens to capture the bride and groom..however you need group and atmosphere pictures...generally a 18-35mm lens...do you have a option to use two cameras? Much faster to grab the other camera than to swap lenses. You definitely need to go to the wedding site and shoot a few dozen to a few hundred shots with the same lenses and flash you plan to use...also you need to know what is going to happen in the wedding before it happens so you can move forward backward..you will not be able to shoot the wedding from one location most likely...the more you practice the better you will be...don't take the battery life lightly..know how many pictures you plan to take and what your flash/camera can do without extra batteries...you don't want dead batteries at the wrong time....
