I dont usually shoot in lower level venues. yes the images were of the last few that stayed. it was just to show you what the lighting looks like and it was just a coincidence I used those. I cant say my location. Yes, I have an SB900/800/700 the 800 doesnt play well with the flash on the 622 mounted on the camera. as an off camera flash in manual power its greatbut yes the SB900/10 works great on the 622 mounted on the camera. no issue. run it in ttl not ittl because there is no ambient light to meter, the light will be inconsistent. if it were outdoor or a constant light then yes.  you can bounce it up with the white card out. btw, be aware with the 622 slaves fps drops down to about 3. no matter what camera youre using it will be around 3 because the transfer of the signal takes time and you will notice a lag so play with it when you get it so you know what to expect. No I dont shoot 2.8 unless I have no choice from low lught. seems youll have ample light though.shutter speed for blur is crucial. so 1/160-200 and no less. you can go down but need to know when. if they are not moving and you have a monopod then go down to 60 if you need to. if you can flash then great get some flashes to boucne up from the edges of the church interior. Wb for that when you shoot with the flashes. from what I see its a bit warm. flash is your friend it. just a TINY bit add to the picture and adds a little pop to make mute colors come up. it will kill that flat ambient light look. but just a bit I would only add about -2 to my metered ambient shot. so if im shooting f/4 at 1/200 then flash at -2 stops of that/ setup your flashes before. obviously the closer you are to the flashes the impression in the picture will be more prominent. have them angled towards the BG. looking at the church picture I see a ledge that will stop you from positioning a light stand on the outer edges. I dont think the church will be completely full (who knows though) so what I suggest is you get the stands back a little just bheind where the guests sit but not under the ledge and where you can extend the flash completely and also it wont bother your WA shot should you want to do an "ambient/atmosphere" picture. find out if you can flash though. fire them at about 1/4 power. charged NIMH batteries. after the church swap them for new ones at the reception. seting up flashes near the DJ will just give more light to the direction the DJ lights are shooting. you have to play it by ear and see how the situation unfolds. set your flashes though no matter what. you simply pick it up and move it where you need to.  adjust on the fly. weight bags come to mind. your flash stands arenet heavy enough. the ones I have are heavy enough and dont get toplled over so easy. btw, you dont need to have them up. you have such a short ceiling. keep them at the shortest height and bounce them up. no problems then for falling over. yes, 1/4" thats great.
