Subjects like this are perfect for primes ... you have the time to set up and walk around and compose without pressure or time constraints.

yikes !!! 23 lenses is a little over the top ..::..
But ... I'll take along all my 'good stuff' on a serious all day or all week shoot.
I'll pack in my big case with all of my necessary accessories and then have a working 'soft shoulder pouch' that can hold 3 lenses but I only use 2.
The 3rd lens is on the camera, and depending on the subject I'm shooting I'll select the other 2 as needed.
I'll leave the big case in the car...still within easy reach.
Once shooting I'll take the shoulder pouch off and leave it close by when I need to become more mobile.

Always prepared and almost never a missed a shot.
Sometimes you just need to be flexible and able to adapt.

I used to shoot all prime lenses back in the days of film and they were noticeably superior to the zooms.
Today's zooms perform far and above the zooms of yesteryear.
I have/had the 14mm prime and the 14mm~24mm Nikkors ...
You couldn't tell the difference even at 400%.
Other zooms have also held up extremely well in comparison to the primes.
The major differences in my opinion is the barrel or pincushion distortions associated with the zooms.
Primes don't have to compromise here.
With todays lens correction software though the gap has closed considerably.

For weddings and events the convenience of zooms is a huge time and effort saver.
You'll also get more referrals, compliments, and you won't sweat thru your shirt struggling through those lens changes.
Brides and Grooms don't have much patience for delays in the action especially when it's cocktail and party time.
After all, they are snapshot oriented and won't appreciate the difference between zooms and primes as far as the technicals go.
But they will remember the fumbling photographer and those missed shots for sure.

I've retired from shooting events and now just do my fine art thing ..::..
I still do have a number of primes that I use including the 16 FF Fisheye,
50 f1.4, 60 f2.8 Macro, 105 f2.8 Macro, 105 f2.0 DeFocus, 180 f2.8, and 300 f4.[which is more convenient but less versatile than my 200~400 f4 zoom]
Don't carry them all at once ...

All depends on the final objective.
Thanks bud, I appreciate the kind words! I love bokeh, I would use it on literally everything if I could, but there is a time and a place for everything. As of right now I will only really be doing automotive/model/wedding photography. I do some night shots and landscape/sky scenes too, but the majority of my work is cars. I was exaggerating with 23 lenses, I just mean I don't want to have to buy an SUV to lug all my camera equipment around. I'd like to have a few versatile lenses so that I can do the most types of shots with the least amount of gear. I'll probably do the package deal with the D750 and the 24-120 f4.0 (I think that was it) lens for like $2300 on amazon. I'll have my 35 prime and the zoom, then I'll save up for one of the other lenses you guys listed earlier.

Huck -- I am eyeing this --- 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S. I too have the 35mm 1.8. It is a great prime and super cheap.

Thumbs up Awesome Shots !

..::.. The last photo of the GTR looks like it was taken in the back parking lot of AAM Competition in Annapolis Junction MD.
The loading ramps, the enclosed rooftop access ladders, and the Do-Nuts in the parking lot are a dead giveaway!

haha, thats actually here in Atlanta. Those markings are from motorcycles though, we use that warehouse and another one for stunt riding. I was in the area so I decided to snag a shot, not the best environment for the car though haha.

Looks like my old neighborhood growing up.

Those shots were actually in Hartford, CT. NJ does look very similar though.
