Hmm. Seems a lot of lenses. In the depths of the past when I did
weddings, I used a Nikon F2, a 35/2 and 85/2, and had a spare body in
the bag. Probably one fastish longer lens is a good idea, the
50-135/2.8 would give you that. You likely don't want to shoot with
anything wider than about 24mm on the Pentax DSLRs to minimize wide
angle distortion... I found 28mm on the Nikon to be simply too wide
for good rendering qualities. Better to backup and use a longer lens.
I was doing available light candids so didn't carry the flash
equipment (the pro I worked with did that stuff). A tripod is only
rarely needed unless you're doing large group setups ... then it takes
the load off your hands and gives you freedom to get everyone arranged
and in line.
