Improve working conditions for wedding video/photographers in churches

The Issue

Church Leaders: We come in PEACE.

This is a huge issue across the wedding photography industry and it's one which continues to be an problem, en masse. Not all church leaders are problematic, but a LOT are - and those that are problematic are not only hindering professional video/photographers from doing the job they've been paid to do, they're more often than not rude, humilating, aggressive and abusive. 

Common example: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeAfcRev/

Wedding video/photographers are more than happy to be respectable, flexible and non-obtrusive. A public conversation needs to start between both parties to enable change. More and more couples are choosing not to marry in church whilst more and more video/photographers are avoiding taking work in churches because of this.
