Answer 2

"budget wedding photography" sounds slightly unappealing. Wedding photographers will vary on what sort of lens to get, but most will agree that they be fast lenses (f2.8 or faster, with a fixed (not variable) widest aperture). So look for zoom lenses that are f2.8, and prime (fixed focal length) lenses that are f1.4 or so. If you like portrait photography then you should be able to figure out that portrait lenses you should get (your camera body will determine this because the same lens on a cropped sensor camera like your 60D will behave differently than on a full frame camera). Here's a hint. In the days of film, the classic portrait lens for a 35mm camera was an 85mm lens. (and yes, there are still wedding photographers who shoot with film). But if you want to spend your money wisely, I suggest buying 1 or 2 books on wedding photography. That will explain everything you want to know. The rest will come with experience (hopefully you won't try to pass yourself off as a competent wedding photographer until you have a few weddings under your belt and (preferably) have worked under a more experienced pro).

Answer 3

Haha
My first thought was, fast, fast, and fast!

I suppose the answer is wide, tele, and zoom, but in reality many wedding photographers on a crop frame dSLR use an ultrawide f2.8 zoom, and a moderate zoom, also f2.8. Zooms are just so much easier and faster than primes when shooting weddings. Some keep a mild telephoto portrait lens on one camera body, like an 85mm or 105mm.

There is no set lens that you have to use or need to use when doing weddings. It's all photographer preference and what the environment and situation dictates.

Answer 4

When I did weddings (and I tried to avoid doing them if at all possible!) with fixed focal length lenses I used 28mm, 50mm and 135mm. The 50mm was mostly for lowlight situations, as it was super fast (f 1.2), but focussing at those apetures becomes critical. 95% of my shots were on the 28mm or the 135mm. the 135mm was a brilliant portrait lens, and the 28mm great for group shots so long as you remembered to keep the film plane close to perpendicualr to the subject to avoid parallax error.
