You acquired a Category 2 sUAS and plan to use it to record video footage at weddings. Can you legally fly over the bride/groom during a private photo session?

Yes, as long as the aircraft is listed with an FAA-accepted Declaration of Compliance.
(As long as the aircraft has a listed Declaration of Compliance on the FAA website, you’re good to go and fly over small groups of people. Remote ID has not effect here, this requirement would only apply for flights being conducted over open air assembly. A couple does not qualify as open air assembly. While written consent is a good thing to have to cover yourself, it is not part of the regulation and not the most correct answer.)
