I completely understand the frustration of everyone here, but am I the only one that thinks that purposely leaving in a shot of the back of the photographers head is wrong? I can get behind making a reel for others in the industry, or even a silly little compilation to show the couple at the consultation, but they (presumably) paid good money for someone to shoot and edit their wedding. I would think that they deserve, at the very least, the best angle to be shown at any time. If one camera is blocked by the back of a photographer, the best angle is your other camera. Even if it's a wide shot from the back.
I would cut to the other camera, and if they ask why that particular part of the ceremony from that particular angle isn't on their DVD, I would simply explain that the photographer was standing in front of the camera. I have met a few ornery brides and grooms in my day, but even the most unreasonable seem to understand the person-blocking-camera phenomenon.
