The 300mm F/4 lens invites you step back and fill up the frame with the subject. And because it's an F/4 lens, you'll get a beautiful, soft background.
It's also worth mentioning that the longer the telephoto lens, the better the couple is going to look.
No joke. The longer the lens, the more flattering the subject looks.
I didn't invent the science. But I definitely use it.
