here is a basic article on focal length of lenses:

Understanding Focal Length

Focal length, usually represented in millimeters (mm), is the basic description of a photographic lens. It is not a measurement of the actual length of a lens, but a calculation of an optical distance from the point where light rays converge to form a sharp image of an object to the digital sensor or 35mm film at the focal plane in the camera. The focal length of a lens is determined when the lens is focused at infinity.

here is an article that compares focal lengths for use at weddings:

Which Lens Should I Use? | Focal Length Comparison

At every one of my weddings and shoots, one of my primary considerations is which lens I’ll use for each shot. And a big part of that is selecting the appropriate focal length.

Most people probably learn focal length first as how “zoomed in” a lens looks. At 16mm, the lens is very “zoomed out” or wide. At 200mm, the lens is very “zoomed in” or telephoto. But beyond the reach of the lens, different focal lengths also have different feels.
