I'm not suggesting "they had it coming" but if you're unprepared to pay for a pro and get your photos done free by a friend, you don't have the right to whinge to international media networks about it afterwards, what kind of a jackass do you have to be to NAME your friend, who volunteered to help you out, on a website that you know can be seen internationally and is probably page 1 of google now for his name.
If you were too cheap to buy a cake, a friend said "well if you can't afford to pay a pro cake maker, I enjoy baking so I'll give it a whirl" then, on the day, the cake didn't rise properly or something, your first thought wouldn't be "let's tell the world's media how Shirley fucked up our wedding cake" would it? You'd have to be a bell-end of MONUMENTAL proportions to think that was warranted.
But it's just photos right? Point and click, anyone can be a pro these days.....
EDIT : Turns out the friend happens to be the namesake of someone who won a reality TV show about pirates or something, so he's probably safe on the SEO front.....
