85mm for faces, 35mm for the room

85mm (or 70–100mm) compresses a bride at a window and hides a messy room. 35mm shows the location and how they fit in it. A common mistake is zooming with your feet into a 35mm until faces distort. If the face is the picture, change glass or crop in post — do not crowd them. On a Pose Flow: start 35mm wide, finish 85mm tight, same light.
