• You can rent from somewhere like The Pro Centre. I’d get a Nikon 24-70 2.8 and a 70-200 2.8 but may be overkill.

  • I've got a Tamron 24-70 2.8 G2 coming from eBay. Supposedly 4 stops vibration reduction. Everything else will be done with primes.

  • Personally I'd do either zooms or primes (assuming you only have one body) otherwise it would be constant mindfuck - do I swap zoom-to-prime or not - which will make you miss shots.
    I'd ideally use a proper f2.8 / 80-200mm, and have some sort of second camera / body with something like a 35mm as well and just go with that.
    My experience with weddings is that you'd rather actually get that shot, that moment, even if the focal length wasn't perfect and you actually will crop heavily from a wide angle shot or you could have made it a tad better with the fast prime at 1.8 but didn't as you used the zoom at 3.5 - fuck it, seriously, the people won't care, they're not photo nerds.

    I just made a book for people whose wedding ceremony I shot last year and I used a lot of b&w film shots in it that I basically did just for fun / for myself with a point and shoot on HP5 - even used one of these for the cover of the book actually, and they fucking love it.
