Not such a strange idea years ago...

I mean one lens on a camera for a entire wedding. I left the wedding stuff decades ago, but for a long while used just a Rollieflex with a standard 75mm lens, a Graphlex strobe with a 510volt battery pack and a pocket full of 120 film, ended that phase of my life with 2 Nikon F3's with drives, 4 lenses, speedlites with quick recycle battery packs, posing stools and table, backdrop stand, backdrops, soft boxes with studio lights, stands,, umbrellas, enough extension cords to maybe go half way to the moon...already I'm tired just thinking back. But the wedding business has sure evolved in a marvelous way utilizing the technology now available. However the one lens idea is certainly an interesting one. Let us know if you ever do one OK. Here is a little show I put together for my son-in-laws son as a gift. The photographer was gracious enough to let me use her files for the show, but the point of my mentioning it at all is that checking the data, she shot the almost the entire wedding with one lens, albeit a zoom, Canon 5D III, 24 to 70mm 2.8. Here is a link to the show, if you choose to view it try full screen with sound on, about 16 minutes I recall, pretty much the sequence of the wedding went:

Be careful how you interpret the world: It is like that.
