I have shot weddings and you cannot believe how much work they are before, during and after. You are the grandmother. Enjoy the day, the events, the family, the friends, and, yes, your new in-laws. Those will be your real memories.
Now for the gruesome news. What if something goes wrong? Even the best wedding photographers have days they regret. Do you want to be remembered for the screw up? When your greatgrandchildren ask where are the wedding pictures, which crack in the floor do you want to disappear through? And what will you wear? As a working photographer, I am not sure you can wear the same clothes as the grandmother of the groom.
Finally, this is not the time for on-the-job training. Weddings are an art in themselves. Portraiture can be extremely demanding with restless kids running around, an anxious bride, and harried mothers hoping everything goes right. And then, what about pictures with grandma in them?
Enjoy the day. Take your camera and take what you want when you want. You will get pictures no pro can get.
