I'm shooting my first wedding on June 4th and was wondering if I could get some tips. I'm planning on renting a 5DII and a 24-70 to go along with my 1DII and 70-200. I was debating on whether I should pick up a faster lens for the indoors ceremony, or if f/2.8 would be enough. Plus, I do have my 430EXII. Also, would 24mm be wide enough on a full frame for wedding party shots afterwards?

Really all depends on how much light you have, but it's always a good idea to have a fast prime around.

I almost always shoot indoors with a 50 1.2 or a 35 1.4. Love both of those lenses. Pick up a good, fast prime like the Nicksan said and you should be golden.

I was thinking of renting the 50 1.2. Looks like I will!
