Long story short: I may be shooting my first wedding next year for a friend I've known for 16 years. I most likely won't be charging him.
My question is, if you could take only one or two lenses to a wedding, which ones would they be? I really like the idea of only needing one or two fast primes, like a 35mm and either a 50 or 85. For any seasoned wedding photographers, what do you usually use? The body I'll be using is an R6.
When I got married a little over a year ago, the photographer had two camera bodies and was always going back and forth to her station to swap lenses and all that. I didn't mind at all, but it must have been very overwhelming for her since you could tell she was somewhat new to it. I don't want to be a chicken running around with my head cut off. I'd like to simplify the technical aspects as much as possible so I can put all of my focus into getting good composition and lighting.
