is it ok to tip more to the photographer than the videographer? he will be with us longer, and taking more time posing us and stuff...

Butterfly20 - I think so. Not only the time difference, but you have so much more interaction with the photographer then the video guy.

I'd give the photographer a good tip since he'll be with your for 9 hours. $150 - 200 (unless he works for himself, then $100 I think is appropriate since the fee will be going to himself and the overhead as well).
As for the officiant, I don't think you should feel as though you should tip him if it's all going to him in the first place. Maybe an extra $50 if you feel he really did a nice job.

my videographer actually interacted with us as much as the photographer, spent the same amount of time too!

I have heard that in lieu of a tip for your officiant, one is to make a donation to the church - I think we are going to go that route...

I forgot about the assistant. We gave him $50. We gave our videographer $100 also.
