I have a couple who will get married soon and want to hang their future wedding photos on the wall. But I haven't explored the photography features in this game - I know they can take pictures with their phone but I want to avoid this because they have no photography skill and I dont want it to be a "selfie" but rather a more natural pose of 2 sims from a distance.
I have most of the eps, game packs, I have the photo studio thing wherever that came from, I also have moschino stuff if that helps. I would like to avoid mods at this time.
Bonus question: what about a painting of them painted by another sim with high art skill? I assume the artist sim would have to attend the wedding and paint on site?

You can rotate the view before you make your final selection of image, but you can't move the camera. So you need to have the active sim standing where you want the point of view to be before you start.
To photograph a single sim you can use "Take photo of..." and the sim will automatically pose for you. Getting the right multi-sim pose can be tricky as sims tend to wander off
I don't have moschino, but I understand it came with some pose markers which could be helpful if you want to have more posed-looking pictures.
The photo studio is fun but I like it more for parties since the poses are all kind of goofy. And it's limited to 2 sims in the photo (unless moschino changes that). Maybe having it there at the wedding reception could be fun, but now that we have the photo booth that could be even better.
Whatever you choose, best to do some practice before you're at the wedding.
If you want photos of the actual event, you might want to add a photographer to your household so you can control them. Pause, teleport them where you want them, and have them take a picture. If your Sims have enough money, just take picture after picture, and discard/sell the ones you don't want later. (Edited to say: Remember that it takes a few seconds for a Sim to teleport and another second or so for the picture to be taken, so don't wait until the perfect moment before teleporting).
As for painting from reference, it's going to have a streaky filter on it to make it look like a painting. The Sims won't be featured in any real detail. I think you can put filters on photos, so you might want to start there and experiment with the filters. If you really want a painting though, a painter with high enough skill can take a single 'mental' picture and paint from reference later.
