Yes, if you have VR on that lens, then definitely turn it on any time you're shooting handheld.
Don't disagree with the VR recommendation.
As for the focus point does your processing software allow you to see it after the fact? If not turn it on in camera just one more avenue of useful feedback. Have found that the focus point was not were intended for various reasons.

Although a tripod is "cumbersome" assuming this is outdoors, and like others said this is a heavy lens plus if you have a battery grip attached. One thing that could help is a monopod and if you have a tripod look at quick release systems that can be mounted. I have two tripods and a monopod and all have the same quick release systems; which I have used in church during wedding ceremonies. The monopod would relieve the weight.
You are at the long end of the lens at 135 and movement can detract the image.

Here is one from the belly of Spanish galleon, since I had a 70-200 mounted on a D500 I pushed the ISO (no flash just whatever light was coming in), elbows tucked into chest and control breathing and click. A lot of this comes from being taught how to shoot a 35mm camera back in 1967 and maybe some from the firing range
at Ft. Dix. We were not allowed to have backpacks and I felt I better leave the monopod in the trunk. Its really technique and learning how your equipment behaves.

It would help if we saw the photo so that the EXIF showed up by default. Follow the directions below to upload the photo. Remember to resize the photo to 1000px on the long side.

1. Resize photo to 1000px on the long side.
2. Resolution set to 72ppi (Pixels Per Inch)
These guidelines will be good for viewing on a computer but will not be good for printing. This will help safeguard your copyright.

So what I get from this ... It was taken indoors as she was coming down the aisle (I get that from the ISO being high) ?
Now at 2.8 you need to be SO quick in getting that shot as if she is moving your focal plane is moving all the time.
Can we have the full photo and not just part of it? It may be that it is a useable shot within the story of the day but it just isnt tack sharp.
As others have said unless you are on a tripod never turn your VR off, we have come to rely on it, especially when we have such heavy lenses
