It is still a real life event, and even the best plans are useless somtimes... headphones are a huge advantage.
I have been quite capable of working with all photogs, so I don't really feel that skipping confrontation is the advantage of single source (though I never correct a bride hiring us for both to avoid problems).
The two art forms are very different ways of thinking.... and hard to jump back and forth. I think video is much more looking ahead -- sorta scripting as you roll. Photography is more finding, creating or stumbling on the "right" look for the client/moment. My style mixes with their tastes.
With us doing both photo/video, we are all one team even moreso and we've developed the judgement and refined our communication. Now, we more frequently capture the moments as necessary with the more appropriate medium (yielding priority to one another), or share more seemlessly as warranted.
I also think optimal coverage is more likely to be achieved even with slightly less staffing (3 total as opposed to 2+2) and the results are better too. I think our resulting photography is amoungst the upper 3/4 of local providers, and our videography is amongst the best locally (though the other local videographer has very different style).
