That is not what would be considered a wedding lens… Too long, and too slow.

You need a crash course in wedding photography… Really fast. Having a camera does not make you qualified to call yourself a wedding photographer, and asking a question like this just proves the point.

Here is what you need at a minimum

* AF-S 50 mm f/1.8
* AF-S 24-70 mm f/2.8
* SB700 dedicated flash
* four to six 4 gb memory cards

What you will eventually need is a 70-200 mm f/2.8 and a second camera body

What you Can't buy is the two to three years of experience necessary to be a professional wedding photographer

I did not include the high speed computer and software you will need.

If you are a paparazzi sneaking illicit shots from a distance it may work!

WAY too long!

Assuming you are using a cropped sensor APS-C camera then you need something in the 24-100 range for general shots with a good fast 50mm for the close up type shots.

A good flash would be useful too.
