Placement of video cameras

We’ve decided not to hire a videographer since we are trying to save that money for other things and we don’t need a fancy video, but we are planning to set up a couple cameras before the ceremony and just press record so we can just have it to remember our ceremony. I have a really nice camera and tripod, and one of my bridesmaids has one as well that she’ll be bringing.

I’m wondering, with 2 stationary cameras (meaning they will have to be in the same place through the whole ceremony) where would be the best place to position them? I of course want one to capture us up by the altar, and I would like the other one to show the people walking down the aisle, but then that one would kind of go to waste once the walking is done... And as for the one recording the altar, where should we place it? Back of the room may be too far, but front of the room may get in the way.

Has anyone done this or have any suggestions other than to hire a videographer and/or not set up cameras? Lol
