I think you answered your own question. It is extreme, but if you can't get an offending party to stop offending, your last option is forfeit. As long as you approach things in a professional and responsible manner, you are acting in your capacity as the boss of the court. If they will not accept your authority, they have escalated this into something beyond what it is worth. It sounds ridiculous to forfeit a game because of a photographer's flash, or even to be threatened with that action. But it is only if the authorities who are able to remove the photographer and should be smart enough to recognize your authority refuse to do so that it can reach that stage.
