I have done this a couple of times in the past. The first time was an awards ceremony at a construction site. All that was required was a video of the guys getting their awards. I brought along a spare camera, set it on a tripod, had the field of view set wide enough, and hit "go". All the while I was roaming the hall, taking photos with my other camera.
The second time was a speaker at a conference who wanted about 10 minutes of video, and then photos, but the did not have to be concurrent. I had the two cameras, but what we decided was for me to take video in the beginning, and then switch to photos. This was way easier than the first time, because I had a lot more control over the video.
Do either of these help for your gig? Can you film and snap photos while you are filming? I know that puts a blip in the video, but that might be an option (which I'm sure you've thought of).

Thanks for the insight , great ideas , Third option I was thinking since I bring along an assistant to help me with lighting away , I could have them shoot video clips kiss /speeches /Ceremony when I don't need help with lighting.
I thought about shooting while videoing and your right , It would cause a blip in the video so Also I would have to decide photo or video the first kiss as an example.
