[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 294205, member: 9521"] I would opt for a zoom like a 24-70mm f/2.8 along with a couple f/1.8 lens, most likely either a 50mm (or even a 40mm macro) for group photos and an 85mm f/1.8G for groom/bride photos. You'll find a zoom incredibly more useful during the dynamic portion of the wedding than is a prime. Primes work best (IMO) when everyone is static and posing and macro's are great for getting ring shots (or hand in hand shots). Also, don't worry too much about obtaining organic bokeh, you can use Iris blur in PS to both enhance and/or create a more pleasing bokeh and I doubt very much anyone (even skilled photographers) could tell the difference, if not too overcooked, that is.
