[QUOTE="hark, post: 531692, member: 13196"] Be sure to find out if there are any restrictions during the ceremony. If the wedding will be held at a church, sometimes they only allow photographers to shoot from one place (no moving around). If so, a telephoto such as this might be good. And some churches won't allow flash during a wedding, but you need to find out ahead of time. For receptions, quite often wider lenses than 50mm are used especially when shooting DX. And you might want a wider lens to photograph the people in the bridal party. BTW, a wider lens will allow more DOF at larger apertures than telephoto lenses.
