Answer:
The simple answer we came up with is this: Exploit what the specialty lenses can do, otherwise shoot with the main lens. It’s easy to get carried away and get a ton of focal length restricted shots with a 135mm f/2 prime for example. The more practice you get the better you will become at exploiting these lenses for what they have to offer beyond that of a Killer zoom like the Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 IS L II.
At our wedding Kelly new I loved the bokeh effect that the Canon EF 85mm f/1.4 L creates, so he armed himself with both the 70-200mm and the 85mm on two Canon 5D mark II bodies. This way he had the best of both worlds and he saved those “Magic” shots for the 85mm lens. This method works great for a single shooter but again you do not want to be focal length restricted and end up missing shots. Looking back Kelly said the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens may have been a better choice in combination with the 85mm, but it depends on the room you have to work. In Kelly’s case it was pretty tight and we had a second shooter in the distance. Our buddy Gary was shooting with my 5D Mark II and the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS which is a perfect all around lens.
