It depends on the location. I generally try and avoid lens changes in the field since I have multiple cameras. I generally always have a standard zoom and the other camera will either have a fast lens for portraits, a wider angle lens for landscapes, or telephoto for reach.

M bodies are light and small so they don't add much weight. I would never bring 2 DSLRs as they just don't feel comfortable swinging a pair of my neck.

😁 Welcome to wedding photography. 5DIII on the left with 70-200 plus 580EXII flash and 5DIII on the right with 24-105 and Phottix Mitros+ flashgun (and modifier) hanging from a Black Rapid Double strap looking like a fat version of Clint Eastwood in a duel.. oh and did I mention the 85/1.8 and spare everything in a fanny pack.... no wonder I have back problems....

ZERO time to be switching lenses.  Sometimes you can't even pause to grab a drink of water (esp when shooting solo).  Double-fisted is the way to go!
