Wedding Photos Banned in Church

I have just learned today that a local church down here in Devon has banned photos inside the church?


Why?


The church is a public building so how can the Vicar or Church ban photos from being taken?
There is no underlying reason.  Don't think for one moment that this is because the flash on cameras is damaging ancient stone work or paintings - no, they would be mistaking themselves there with the tombs in the valley of the kings!  No, this is all about money.


The church has told a bride that if any of her family are found taking photos in the church they will be fined £60. WHAT?   


So where does this leave the bride?  Well, is this enforceable?  Can the church as owners of the freehold ban photos inside the church?  


The main photo that most people have in their house is 'signing of the register', is that now banned?


I will investigate this further!
