Quick question before I order this sigma 85 1.4

The Sigma will work nice for pre-wedding shots (the ring, bride, etc) where you have more time but for the actual wedding you really better use the 70-200.

I agree with this. I have the Sigma 85. It's great for pre-wedding formals, bridal portraits, detail shots of the venue, and for the ceremony if you can get fairly close. It's also great for bridal party group shots, if you can get enough working distance.

That being said, I would still get the 70-200 first and maybe look at grabbing the Sigma 50 down the line, instead of the 85. I find the 50 to be a much more useful lens for weddings.

Thanks again everyone . I bought a 70-200 2.8 IS
