Support for religious freedom jumps even higher in the context of wedding vendors.

82 percent said “yes” when asked whether a Christian wedding photographer with “deeply held religious beliefs opposing same sex marriage” has “the right to say no” to a same-sex couple asking him or her to photograph their wedding.

If I were a photographer of a wedding cake baker, I think I would do it, but do a crappy job, maybe even crappy enough to ruin the whole event....that would be especially easy for the photographer, he could just say he had equipment trouble...”oh man, I am so sorry, I dont know what what happened, my camera must be broken, those pictures all turned out dark and blurry....here I would be happy to give you your money back....
