Sanctuary doesn't mean the whole church. I believe the sanctuary or sacred part of the church the OP is talking about is the front/stage part of the church.

lol that made my day.

Hopping onto the sanctuary is a no-no in most churches but you could shoot from the side if there was room there. In any event I would consider a 70-200/2.8 IS to be pretty useful for shooting in a church. That and the 24-70 should meet all your needs.

This.

Thanks again everyone. I will go look at the church cause from what i'm hearing I might be good with a 24-70 2.8 and a 85 1.8 (I must try the 70-200 IS II)

Bump

These questions make me believe that you are not ready to shoot a wedding.

no only one body atm I can buy another body also

You MUST have 2 bodies for a wedding. I've been renting one, but I'll likely buy this spring. It would be a really bad time for your lone camera to die, don't you think?

Nah I have done two weddings so far, but ill rather put the money elsewhere instead of putting 120$ plus towards a lens rental. New Orleans doesn't have any local lens rentals places for cheap. If you don't mind look at the picture and let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

Yea I agree. Looking for another body ATM.

Check out this thread when deciding on a second body: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=988922

I think you will get much more tailored help in the wedding forum for overall wedding tips, though everything said here has been spot on. 24-70mm, 70-200mm, and 135mm. I havent checked out the link, but I would most likely go 135. catholic ceremonies are long enough that you dont have to worry too much about changing lenses too quickly - just dont get stuck!
