Hi Carol, if you don't mind me saying so, I'd be careful using such lenses for a wedding, especially group shots or with people close to the edge of the frame. You would be in danger of getting some great distortion
Thank you for the advice Stephen. All suggestions gratefully received as that lens was recommended to me by someone else.

Carol, I don't do weddings, however I photograph people often in groups. My widest lens is a 17-40mm which with my 1D and a 1.3 crop factor gives 22mm equivalent. Depending on how close I am to people and how close they are to the edge of the frame, I can easily get some distortion in faces.
Now an 11mm on your camera with a 1.6 crop gives 17.6mm and therefore the potential distortion is likely to be greater. For people shots with your camera I don't think I'd feel happy going wider than 17mm and if possible even higher. Of course if space is at a premium it may be useful, though not very flattering on people.

DxO Optics Pro distortion correction could help with this, but Stephen is right, if at all possible, step back and use a longer lens for group shots.
