What is the best flash/lens to use with a nikon d90 for wedding photography?

I recently purchased a nikon d90. I am fairly new to the photography world, and I am working on starting my own business. I currently take family portraits and engagement sessions, but have been asked to do a few weddings this summer. I have been researching on the internet different lens and flashes, but is is so overwhelming. Currently, I have a AF-S Nikkor 18-55 mm 1:3.5-5.6 G and a AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1:4-5.6 G ED. HELP!!!!! Thank you.

You could shoot an entire wedding with a Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8.
It’s good in low light, has a fast and silent autofocus system, it’s the perfect zoom range for everything from group shots to portraits, and it provides great image quality at all focal lengths and aperture settings.

If you’re on a budget, get the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 instead ($400 vs. $1150).

Perhaps add a 50mm f/1.4 ($285) for very low light situations & very shallow depth of field. Perhaps add a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 ($1630) for candids, etc. If you won’t be shooting weddings until next summer, you’ll have plenty of time to fgure out if your budget allows them. Both are nice to have but not essential.

Flash: the Nikon SB-900 ($400) or on a budget the SB-800 or even the SB-600 ($175).

Also consider that for wedding photography you really should have backup gear for everything (body, standard zoom, flash). So don’t go selling your 18-55mm lens quite yet.

These prices are all from B&H.
If you’re interested, I list a bunch of Nikon related links in my profile information.
