Best lens for wedding photography?

Well perhaps I should clarify, if you are going to have 2 lenses with you during a wedding shoot.  Which 2 would you bring with you?

24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8.

Why so serious?

Will you use a prime much like a 85mm?

Why not, but if I could only have two lenses I'd leave the prime home....
That 70-200 is pretty fine at 85mm.

Why so serious?

As they said already, the 70-200mm would be the primary with the 24-70mm as the second lens.  If you were going to have a 3rd, I would go with the 85mm

I use my 85mm for nearly 75% of all shots.  24-70mm for rest.

I've shot an entire wedding with just a 85mm before. It's just magical for portraits IMO.  All depends on the client.

I like to have a variety on me. But when it comes to individual pieces, the more versatile the glass, the better shape you'll be in.

70-200mm and 24-70mm with 85mm at a very close 3rd.
