Two bodies with a 35 and 50 would do for candids, and a small tripod. Set up a tripod at the back/balcony with a 135mm lens, check before hand. One person can shoot from there, 50 mm to cover the whole front of the church, 135 for couple. Take meter readings at front of church before ceremony starts, but with lights on. Remember, a wedding is a social/religious event, not a photo event. Be invisible. Talk to minister before, ask permission. Steve
