I'll add that the pro I worked with (a high-end guy who got $5000 and up
for a wedding) did mostly the "photojournalist" style shoot. He shot most
of the ceremony hand-held, but always had a camera with an 80-200/2.8 on a
tripod for a few ceremony shots - you simply can't hand-hold that rig in
most churches without using flash, which he didn't like using (and isn't
permitted in many ceremonies). Fortunately, there isn't usually enough
fast action in weddings for subject motion to be an issue at slow shutter
speeds :)
That mirrors how I shoot ceremonies as well.
There is times and places for shooting without a tripod at weddings, but
formal portraits are not one of them.
Lord knows, I tried it a couple of times and then went back to a tripod
mounted camera.
It's just that much less to have to deal with at a tiem when you have more
than enough on your mind.
