Bull bleep. No wedding photographer I know uses a tripod for
portraits. And some of them get 8K per wedding. Do you use a tripod in
your studio? I certainly wouldn't. It interferes with composing and
spontaneity.
Editorial style merely means you record what actually happens at a
wedding rather than a bunch of pictures of people standing in front of
a wall or sitting at tables. From among the hundreds of pictures I
shoot at every wedding, the couples' favorites are always the candid
moments. For example, this one -- new hubby on the cell phone -- was
especially loved. If I had been busy shooting all the guests at the
tables, I would have missed it:

Shoot the formal stuff with your camera on tripod .
Ouch! You don't want to get bogged down with a tripod.
This is like saying you don't want to get bogged down with sharp
pictures.
Shoot the editorial crap (and I use this term literally) handheld,
since you have no choice. Try to at least use a handle mount flash,
preferably one that can still be adjusted to put the flash head over
the lens both vertically and horizontally.
If you are shooting actual formals, the pace is slower (not by
much), but the work is more detail oriented.
You want the camera on a tripod.
