She covered up her flame-coloured tresses with a short blonde wig and sported barely-there make-up.
While she is best known for being the spouse of the former Vice President, Lynne - nee Vincent - is herself an accomplished author, academic and executive.
Christian, who has put on weight for the role, was clad in a smart wedding tux as he got to work on set.

No stranger to undergoing an image overhaul, Bale previously demonstrated his commitment to transforming for roles when he tanned and beefed up for American Psycho in 2000 and shed 70lbs for The Machinist in 2004.
In 2013, Bale told People that gaining weight for American Hustle was not difficult: 'It's easy to start with ... you're just sitting on your butt and you're eating lots of doughnuts and eating bread and everything like that.
'But you do it for two months and your body starts to rebel against you, it's just saying, "No, please," and your back is aching and there's also some problems with that.
'And then you've got to lose the weight at the end of it, you know? I wish it was simple.'
Amy and Christian last graced the silver screen together in the 2013 crime drama American Hustle alongside Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Jeremy Renner.
