Many years ago I was a very busy wedding photographer using all Hasselblad equipment. I carried three film backs, a spare body, three Zeiss lens (50mm WA, 80mm, 150mm portrait lens) and a tripod. If I were to start doing weddings again now, I would carry the 5D Mk 11, 7d, 24-105mm and the 100mmL Macro lens(it's one of the sharpest lenses Canon makes). I rarely used the 50mm Zeiss WA and so carrying a wide angle like the 24mm is unnecessary and more weight to lug around. I would leave the 10-20mm at home because it will distort faces and make everybody wider than they are. I can't imagine lugging around the 70-200mm f/2.8, so I'd also not bring it. I'd also have a large white umbrella, two 580 EX I's or EX II and the Epsom P-6000 Multimedia viewer to lbackup my CF cards all day long. I would never take CF cards larger than 8 gb and I would have 4 cards with backups. One card for the brides home shots, one for the church, one for the portraits and one for the reception. IMHO, the day is too hectic to be changing lenses. if you want to carry many lenses, they should be mounted on their own body. My perspective and 2 cents.
