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.
