Usually, if weather permits, the newly married couple has their photo taken with all the guests. Depending on the photographer it may be a small festival on its own, or a well organized event. For the first case see Guests Greetings, for the second, play along with the photographer.
While the photographer is putting the people in place, shoot the action: smiling faces, handshakes, babies, interacting family members, etc. You can walk along the front row with your camera rolling after everyone is in place. Approach the couple and ask them about their feelings after the ceremony.
It may as well be good time to take the wireless microphone away.
Step back so you can see all the guests in your wide shot, zoom in on couple. When more or less everybody is paying attention to the photographer, start rolling and slowly zoom out to complete the segment on wide shot.
You may need to adjust your plan if there is something special like releasing doves, tossing rose petals, blowing bubbles, etc., being planned. It’s good to be informed about such an event in advance.
