Typically I spend a lot of time leading up to the ceremony with the Bride as she prepares for the day. I also try to get a few shots of the Groom with his buddies as they too prepare. I basically just make self "one of the guys" and just do my thing. You never know what lighting conditions will be. Instead of relying on only shooting by "natural light" I have a default flash set up I use. I tie to the "natural lighting" as a fill light. A Canon ST-E3-RT on my camera's hot shoe however many Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT units I need. Sometimes I just have one or two mounted on modified Joby Gorillapods. One of which is my main light that I hold by the Gorillapod almost like a hatchet. I can shoot with one hand while bouncing light at whatever quick angles I need. with the other. Throw in assorted light modifiers and color gels to match ambient "natural light" and that's all. It's an easy and very quick way of covering these candid moments on the fly.
