A New York photographer represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is challenging in federal court state laws that force her to photograph gay weddings despite her religious objections to doing so.

One of the laws being challenged by Rochester artistic wedding photographer Emilee Carpenter in the U.S. District Court for Western New York also bars her from explaining on her business website why working at same-sex ceremonies violates her deepest Christian beliefs.
