So, I tracked down what he actually said. It is from his own website:

 

“That dream ended after a couple of shoots with the D810 and the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 II. The D810 did great, but the Nikon had a severe problem: at headshot range, it wasn’t 200mm… it wasn’t even close. In fact, we measured it at about 135mm.

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">Our signature headshots suddenly didn’t have the same background blur or compression of facial features; a portrait at 135mm just isn’t the same as a portrait at 200mm. Forget using it for a wedding, where you need all the reach you can get.”

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);"> 

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">Well here is a snap that I took of daughter below.

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);"> 

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">Do you think:

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">1. It needs more compression

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">2. Improvement in background blur

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">3. I should forget about weddings

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">4. I need to get closer to the bride

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">5. I need more reach in a wedding

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);"> 

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">The image is at 200mm f2.8 1/40 and just a little further than MFD.

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);"> 

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">It really drives me crazy when people spread non-sense over the internet and even more so when people start to think that they are a source of absolute fact.

<p style="font-size:15px;background-color:transparent;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">(Wedding shot at 200mm)
