The gear I will be using for this shot will be a Canon 5DII and a 300 prime F2.8 Lens.

The couple will be a good distance away from me walking towards me on a slight angle. Behind the couple will be a red brick wall. In this situation the couple will be walking do I set the AF to Servo and the shutter to continuous 3.9fps? I would like to capture as much frames for each location and as the couple is walking I just want to snap alot of pictures but make sure all or most are in well focus.

Is this the correct way to do it? Thanks!

Shooting AI Servo? Make sure you have center focus on the two of them. The 300 is really far away. You thing that's better than a shorter lens? I'd use maybe a 200?
