Should I get the wide angle or telephoto lense to photography a wedding? I have been asked to be the photographer at a friends wedding. I have the kodak P850 and would like to get another lenses. Do you think a wide angle or a telephoto lense would get more use for wedding photography? |

I hate to tell you this, but you will want both. Your camera has a nice telephoto capability (over 400mm equivalency) so you are set there.
You will use the wide angle the most when shooting the wedding party after the service, but still in the church or hall and during the reception. Most of your wide-angle lens work there will be done when shooting the people at the tables, etc.
When doing closeups of those people on your shot list and other interesting folks, you will want to use the medium telephoto lens setting on your camera (100-150mm equiv.).
