You just got to wonder

Why are we judging people that we've had no interaction with whatsoever?

We all do it. Sometimes we keep it to ourselves, other times we don't.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, just that we all do it.

A little off topic but I dod not want to start another thread.

That is interesting. I was shot a car show a few weekends ago. Out of nine photographers 4 used dome style diffusers. Huge convection centre with high ceilings with no where to bounce off except maybe the dark concrete floor, another car or kiosk. 2 out of 4 had no caps on the top of the diffusers. Not that it would that have made much of a difference expect for saving some battery power but at least they thought of it. I was judging.

After reading this entire post I went back and reread the first post. Can the OP say for absolutely sure that the wedding photographer and presumed assistants were actually paid "pros" to shoot the wedding? It is entirely possible that they simply may have been guests or friends that got some shots in lieu of having a real paid photographer. I do realize there are paid photographers out there that don't have the skills to competently shoot an event and maybe what the OP saw was exactly this, but occasionally a few Uncle Joe's and Aunt Sally's can present themselves in an outwardly way that they could be mistaken for the official photographer.
