Practically it is easier to do when all the ushers are in the house, dressed up and available for a shoot. This may be a moment right before the photographer starts taking formal shots of the guys with the groom, or, even better, right after. You may film that piece by piece, but in order to reduce your chance to omit somebody, better take them all at once.
If your camera microphone is good enough for that, go for it. It is still better to provide some quietness around. You can do it by excusing yourself with the ushers to the next quiet room, or vice versa, attracting everybody’s attention to the fact of doing impromptu interview.
Ask the guys to line up, tell them what you are going to do and ask them to keep it short and nice. As soon as the person on either side is ready, start filming one person at a time. Frame it at head and shoulders, elbows or waist. After one person has finished, pan slowly to the next one and roll on the next clip. Carry on until everybody is done.
Thank everybody for great opportunity. Move along to your next shoot.
