Yeah, Sam, I think everyone agrees you can't do a great job documenting *and* do the right thing by your bride and the tour group.
You can't be absent for breakfast and dinner because you're shooting in the Golden Hour.
But it sounds like you don't want to surrender entirely to taking predictable snapshots either.
So don't.
Set yourself a target of one picture per day that will be more than reacting, it's going to be thought out and setup, even for five minutes.
It might be telling your tour guide you're getting very close at 16mm on your DA zoom for a dramatic environmental portrait.
Leaning over the hotel balcony to get a shot of the bus and everyone assembling for departure.
Asking a local vendor to take a couple of steps sideways to get them backlit but with a dark background.
100mm macro shot of your wife's eyes and nose.
While everyone raises their phone to get a picture of a church you bother to walk in the other direction and frame it through a doorway.
You can do just one of these every 24 hours, right? :)
Done right, these shots should be overrepresented in your keepers.
