   Bakers are free to exercise their religion, just as anyone who operates a   
   public accommodation is free to exercise their religion.  Unless that religion   
   tells a barber something like "you are forbidden to cut the hair of someone of   
   a different religion."  If the barber wanted to discriminate, or felt that   
   their religion required them to discriminate, they should probably look for a   
   different line of work.

   "Conscientious objector" status has some relevance to the military, but not to   
   photography.  The wedding can happen with or without a photographer.
