[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 63331, member: 3903"] For shooting in a small area, I don't think that the 35 is wide enough on a cropped sensor (DX). You'd better use your 18-55 being careful not to put people too much on the side or in the corners when fully wide (18). This would cause major distortion to their heads, faces and they won't look so good. Depending on how far you will be, the 35 might be OK for some shots, but if I was you, I'd pretty well stay with the zoom just for the ease of framing shots without having to move too much. You see, in a wedding situation, you can't always get as close or as far as you'd wish. The zoom allows you to do this. That's why most pro wedding shooters will use the 24-70 on a body and the 70-200 on another. Where they would have the advantage over you is that they have constant 2.8 lenses that create beautiful bokeh. But since your wedding will be outside on a beach, you should be OK. Learning how to use the flash as a fill-in is probably what you should practice the most in the meantime. I think this is what you'll use the most. [/QUOTE]
