The answer

Obeying one's parents is obligatory unless it involves disobedience [to Allah]. Photographing wedding parties where women are displayed is an act of disobedience, regardless of whether the photographer is male or female. This issue could have been avoided by advising the father and teaching him matters of his religion wisely, while still honoring and pleasing him. There is no harm in holding parties and banquets for an engagement, provided there are no forbidden [Shar'i] matters such as intermingling of sexes (ikhtilat) and the fiancée displaying herself immodestly (tabarruj).
