If you wish to keep peace in the family (your and hers), may I suggest that you offer to pay for the services of a professional to photograph the wedding? Consider your son's suggestion flattering, but what does he know? It's his wife and her family that count! No matter how much money your son thinks you will save him, it will NOT be enough. Don't give more than one second of thought toward doing the job yourself.
Trust me... I know from whence I come...
Cheers...M (father of a bride)
