Given your lineup and subject matter, it seems like the obvious next lens (or a macro). Engagement sessions seems doable, since it's a controlled, relaxed session, where you have control or some control over the location and framing. Event day may pose challenges, but you have the 70-200/4 and the 24-105 there in case. So for your objectives and for your gear selection the 135L makes a ton of sense.

You may not use the lens as much as some others, but the keepers you get with it will be worth it. Plus grandpa or uncle bob with the 60D or 6D is not likely to pickup a specialist prime lens like the 135L, further differentiating your style from theirs.

Thanks for the reply, it seems like we are using the same kit too ! I use the 5d3 with 35F2IS and 85.18 also the 24 2.8IS and now looking at the 135 F2L.

I think there is chance i would Over-Use it !! to begin with, i am just longing for a big cup of frothy bokeh
