Wedding Lenses

1) I will need a second body, but i'll probably take another body - personally i prefer APS-C not for the price of the body, but for the lens price & the fact that i use APS-C with 100-400 for wildlife shooting. I'm not a professional and i won't be a professional so i prefer to stay in budget but be more versatile.

I can see your reasoning, the advantage of APS-C is price and on the rare occasion when you are out of focal length you can gain a small resolution boost.

But versatile can be subjective. I could see how having fewer lenses because of price would give you less focal length. But the things you can do with a full frame make it more versatile in my opinion. Aside from the body itself having more resolution when a subject is fully framed and improved ISO for low light, you can also take full advantage of the creative side of many lenses. For instance the 35mm f/1.4 and its narrow dof. Personally if I were rebuilding my kit with limited funds, I would go FF and have fewer select lenses. Even if it were a used 5D II or 6D and last generation lenses.

Bingo...a big +1 on this. I can't believe how many lenses just make more sense on FF than they did on APS-C/APS-H. I had a 50/1.8...never made much sense. Now we have a 50/1.2 and I love using it. Bought an 85/1.2 when were a mixed FF/APS-H/APS-C family...I can see the magic more on FF. Picked up a 35/1.4 and took it to photograph a neighbor singing in her trio at a nearby restaurant...spectacular. But from a perspective of a few select lenses like HDNitehawk said, I can easily see skipping the 85/1.2, perhaps a 35/1.4, 50/1.4, 85/1.8, and 135/2.

Nowadays I just can't imagine trying to work with a 17-55 on APS-C instead of 24-70 on FF, or even a 16-35 on FF. The optics are so much better than the 10-22, and I wouldn't want the limited range of 10-18 even if the optics were as good.
