Personally I would upgrade your mid-range lens to something faster, or get a normal prime (maybe a 35L). And make sure you have backup bodies/flashes/lenses if you don't already. +1.

May 08, 2011 20:12 | #8 The football team pic got posted in the wrong thread somehow, but it is a professional women's league. In regards to the 70-200 f2.8 II, it is a great lens for weddings, but I prefer it on full frame for this role. Sony A1, 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II, 70-200mm F/2.8 GM OSS II, 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS, 35mm f/1.4 GM, Viltrox 16mm f/1.8, 1.4X TC, Flashpoint flashes

Why? I get wanting to have ability not to be forced to use flash, but the ability to use a flash ought to be part of any wedding shooters kit.
