2 Cameras, 1 Videographer (positoins for ceremony)

Hello all, I posted months ago about my ordeal in trying find the best place to put my unmanned camera (and then myself with my other camera) during the ceremony. Well, I've done some experimenting since then and here's what seems to work the best for me.
I have the unmanned camera in the back just to the right of the aisle and behind that last row of chairs and then I shoot from the wings with my other camera, rotating from one side to the other to get close ups of the bride and groom while they're speaking.
I had experimented with being behind and to the side of the officiant but found that position could put me in the line of site of my other camera and the photographers. No matter how tight I'd go in on the bride or groom from that angle... a professional or amateur photographer would creep into my frame as they'd sneak up the aisle for a shot. Clearly when I was thinking about this, I forgot to add photographers into the equation. The way I'm shooting now, it's very easy to get a clean shot from the wings and if they end up in the bottom of the frame of my static camera I can just cut out the bottom section of the frame and it just looks like a nice intentional effect.
I wanted to thank you all for your input, it was really helpful and gave me things to think about and try which eventually led to me solving the problem.
