Use of flash, even on bright days outdoors can help 'lift' the black murkyness of dark suits. If used properly, flash will also add a twinkle to their eyes. It is no accident that many a paid snapper can be seen with hi spec digital body with a decent flash attached (use to be a 'blad with metz 60 series in film days), and probably an assistant with a reflector (not always practical to position for candid tho)
Photography permission during the service depends on many factors, not least the venue location. Always worth enquiring before lifting the camera to the eye. Many venues, including churches are more tolerant than you might think. Some vicars will even mention their position on the matter, and when best to take potographs before the ceremony starts.
Have a good day
