Wedding photographer at centre of row with vicars calls for truce

Rachel Roberts and more than 900 photographers had signed petition about clergy obstructing their work

A wedding photographer at the centre of a row with vicars that has sparked an intervention by a former archbishop has called for the two camps to put aside their differences and work in peaceful harmony.

Last week more than 900 wedding photographers signed a petition started by photographer Rachel Roberts, who urged vicars to improve" their working conditions after complaints that some clergymen and women had been making it difficult to take photos inside church premises.
