No one is right here. But of course, the studio has the “right” to turn down a paying customer, which I think is foolish, but it should be their right.
The “public accommodation” argument is terrible. The couple is wrong. Everyone is wrong.
No, the studio is right in this instance.

You are implying that it's foolish to stand on principal if it interferes with profit?
Your logic appears to be that it is ‘foolish’ to refuse to do business with anyone at anytime for any reason as long as they pay.
If you say that is not your position, then you must draw the line somewhere, which the final arbiter would, by definition, be principle.
That is what these people are doing, just that their standards are somewhat higher than yours are. Their God is God, not money.
Sure. Easy for you to say - you're Wright.
How the hell is couple wrong? This isn't an issue of rejecting a client because she was homosexual. It was a matter of the photographer not wanting to participate in an event that violated her religious beliefs. Every citizen should have that right. No real Christian should participate in a gay "marriage" ceremony.
