Calling all wedding photographers!
So I'm second-shooting a wedding this Friday and am torn on a lens choice.

I'll be using my Tamron 28-75 probably 80% of the time for photojournalistic type shots.

I'll also bring my Tokina 12-24 for some wider group shots/interiors

Now, here's the rub - I'm not a huge fan of my telephoto lens (Sigma 70-300).

I love my Canon 100mm macro!

If I bring my Canon 100mm for some tighter shots during the ceremony and/or ring/flower shots will I regret not having the more versatile telephoto zoom along?

I only have room for 3 lenses in the bag. Which would you bring?

How is the lighting? If its not good then I would take the 100mm, if the lighting is going to be good (really) then I would take the 70-300 probably. Just my two cents.

Bring the 100. The 70-300 is too slow.

my vote is for the 100mm. however I can't imagine how you couldn't have all of them with you. good luck and have fun

Bring all the lenses, even if it means leaving one in the car, or hiding one in the church somewhere. There's no reason not to have all your equipment with you..
