You say "a friend's wedding shoot", but it's not clear if your friend is the photographer? Or is your friend the bride or groom? Was much money paid for these photographs? Is the photographer a full-time pro?
I shot a wedding for a poor couple back in the film days. The pictures came out okay, but it was way too much stress on me. My wife and I paid for the film, the processing, and even the photo album with 8x10's of the best shots. That was our wedding gift to the couple.
The bride and I never had a meeting to discuss her expectations, or what she wanted done at the wedding. Except for posed shots at the altar (shot with a Speedotron 3-light set up), I treated the whole day as a photo-journalism event (which was how I shot everything for the newspaper and yearbook in college), and greatly underestimated the amount of film needed. Luckily, I was able to bum a few rolls of ASA 400 color from some other guests.
So today I think of this couple looking back at their 100% free wedding shots and going, "That guy really sucked." Either way, they got what they paid for.
