I started out shooting weddings with the 24-70, but after I got some experience I switched to primes. Now I shoot weddings with one other photographer and a huge sack full of primes between us (and one zoom, the 70-200 f/2.8 IS). Wedding shooters need at least two bodies anyway (you have three), so just get used to shooting two at once (if you aren't already). That gives you two primes, which will cover a lot of situations.


So I suggest the 35mm f/1.4 L over the 24-70.


However, have you considered the Sigma 30mm f/1.4? You can buy three of them for the price of a single 35mm f/1.4, and the image quality is very good for the price. The main problem is reliable autofocus, but with microadjustment on your 7D, I think you could make it work.
