85mm F1.4, 35mm F1.4 are possibilities. L lenses are good because of fast apertures and good construction, but i'd take a good photographer with average lenses over an average photographer with good lenses any day.

One tip I could offer is to talk to them about how they met and how they got engaged (this may not be as effective since you already know them, though). It helps them feel warm and fuzzy and the pictures look more natural.

Thanks all!

The shoot was this afternoon, and I think it really went well. I think all three of us definitely needed a bit of a warm-up because the last half of the pictures are much better than the first. I'll post a few as soon as I've got them all sorted out.
