My currently recommended wedding photography equipment:
Tamron G2 or Sigma Art lenses can be replaced with one of the items below. If the native 70-200 is out of your price range, the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2 is a fantastic lens.

Also, while there are more expensive (f1.2) versions of many lenses, this is what I would look for for wedding photography. If you want to upgrade to f1.2 you will get even better quality, it just adds weight and cost.

These are also all the lenses and cameras that I have personally used and tested over time.

Nikon Cameras and Lenses for Wedding Photography:
Nikon Z6IIx2
Nikon Z 50mm F1.8 or Z 85mm F1.8
Nikon Z 24mm F1.8 or Z 35mm F1.8
Good to have: Z 24-70mm F2.8 and Z 70-200mm F2.8

Canon Wedding Photography Cameras and Lenses:
Canon R6x2
Canon RF 85mm f2 OR Samyang RF AF 1.4 (if you only do photography)
Canon RF 35mm F1.8
Good to have: Canon RF 24-70mm F2.8 and Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8

Sony Cameras and Lenses for Wedding Photography:
Sony A7R III or IV with a newer LCD update (I prefer the screens of these to the A7III) and an A7III.
There are many lens choices from Sony.
Cost-effective and always high-quality solutions:
Sony 55mm f1.8 or 85mm F1.8
Sony 35mm f1.8 or 24mm 1.8 (If you have a secondary interest in Astro, consider the 20mm F1.8 G which I use for most of the videos you see on YouTube)
The Sony 24-70mm f2.8 and 70-200mm F2.8 are excellent, but rent them first to see if you like it.
Or upgrade to GM 1.4 versions of any of these lenses and you'll be happy.

Fujifilm lenses and cameras for wedding photography:
Fujifilm XT4 x 2 (or even XT3 if you have limited interest in video – or one of each)
Fujifilm 56mm f1.2 or Fujifilm 50mm f1.0
I personally use the Fuji 23mm f2.0, but you can opt for the 1.4 or 18mm if you want to go a little wider.
Fuji 50-140mm f2.8 or the 80mm or the 90mm prime. The 80mm is also a macro for ring shots, so it's a great choice.

Flashes and strobes:
Godox V1 and X2T or XPro
Additional V1 for backup or Godox AD100Pro (Or AD200Pro if you spend time in the studio)

I use Sony cards most of the time. Specifically, Sony TOUGH cards for my primary location when possible.
