Candids will be part of the aim, but will also attempt to document the whole process so as to put together in a album.

I think 28-135 will be better as the 20-35 will be useful for shot that you wanted to include more stuffs.
I have suggested to you the 70-200/2.8. Really not giving that a thought?

Why only 1 lens? --> Cos the photographer will be wearing formal wear and would not be able to carry a cam bag
I will try to avoid using flash as much as possible and will be shooting mainly, if not pure b&w.

use the 20-35L, its 2.8 and with the short focal length, handholdable at unbelievably low shutter speeds. use the perspective of the wide angle lens to your advantage.
beg to differ but i think that's not totally true. depending on the lighting (unless it's like super dim, super dark ballroom), the lens can be put to good effect with a good fast ISO film like Fuji Press 800 (can be pushed to 1600 ISO at a pinch). the colours are still punchy and grain is still impressive. that way you get the best of both worlds, and coupled with the IS of the 28-135, you should be able to get some keepers.Originally posted by GitS

Get a 50/1.8 or even better, the 50/1.4.
If you can afford, go with a 85/1.2 for your Canon.
Only one lens can cover the entire wedding. Guaranteed; if you know your craft and technique well.

I always carry 2 cameras with me for weddings...one with 16-35/24-70 and the other with the 70-200.
Both are ready to fire at any time.
Solve your prob of deciding
But honestly, I would get the 20-35 f2.8L, it's one of the better WA lenses out there.
