I have been asked last minute to help out a friend of a friend whose wedding is in three days; they do not have a photographer. This would be my first wedding and I am doing it pro bono. Expectations have been managed, but I would still like to do the best that I can. I am seeking feedback on my gear choices and game plan.

Venue: church with stained glass and some interior lighting, no flash allowed. I can get pretty close but I cannot step on the altar.

General plan: I will wear a dual camera strap with two bodies and two additional lenses worn on my belt (I don't anticipate having the time to switch lenses so the choices of primary lenses are super important)

Camera 1: My own Canon R7

Lens 1: Sigma 17-40 f/1.8

This is the combo that I know very well; if I push the ISO, it can probably handle the low light situation fairly well

Camera 2: A borrowed Canon R6ii (I have never used this camera before)

Lens 2: I only have 2 full frame lenses; I am struggling between zoom range vs f-stop.

RF 70-200mm f/4

Meike 85mm f/1.8 SE II

Extra lenses: I think I can carry two on my person; please help me decide which

RF 70-200mm f/4

Meike 85mm f/1.8 SE II

Sigma 56mm f/1.4

Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8

EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM

EF-S 18-135mm STM

Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you! 🙏

P.S. questions. should I use electronic/silent shutter on the R7 and risk rolling shutter effects? single shots or drive mode?
