Sounds like the guests are going to love sitting there in the glowing tranquility and then BAM! Having your lights suddenly escallate the brightness levels about 1000%.
That's sure to enhance the mood the B&G were trying to create.
I think I'd be letting the B&G know what you want to do and what the effect will be before you destroy what it seems they are trying to achieve for THEIR wedding.
Here's a very radical Idea for wedding photography you could put to them.....
How about putting the wedding first and shooting what you can with what you are given?
Put the camera on a tripod,( if need be) wind the iso up and shoot what you can.
No you may not get the perfect shots like so many shooters try for as if they are on a commecial product shoot and want everything just perfect, but you won't shatter the mood either.
And lets face it, what are they going to do? Not buy any pics of their wedding because the lighting isn't a photographers idea of perfection or are they going to get what reflects the very thing they wanted and went to trouble to create in the first place?
These days if you can see the subject you can shoot it so I don't buy all the too dark crap people go on with. I do a lot of night shots after the wedding and the most I ever use lighting wise is a AAA powered LED torch.... Often with something over the end to soften the light some more. If you know what you are doing this shouldn't be a huge deal at all just to go with the available light, whatever it is.
It's not like they are going to be running round a lot during the ceremony which is really the only time you would be inappropriate using flash. For the signing etc, I doubt they will care. Myself I'd be using the ambient light for the main pics of the B&G as clearly that is what is going to appeal to them and better reflect the mood and feel of their wedding and therefore be the pics that they will value the most.
But again, as unthinkable as it may be, it is THEIR wedding so I strongly suggest you discuss the pros and cons of each approach with them and see what THEY prefer the pictures they are paying for to look like as well as how the mood of their ceremony will be.
