Infrared wedding photo from the Oakland LDS temple

Infrared wedding photos from the Oakland Mormon Temple

When people get married at the Mormon Temple (or LDS Temple. Feel free to tell me in comments which is better) the temple itself is an important feature in the photographs. I love shooting there. As a photographer, I appreciate the scale, the lines, and the tones.

I’ve shot there many times, (here is another LDS wedding that made it to my blog) but this past week was my first time there with my infrared converted digital camera. It was a nice sunny day, which enhanced the effect.

Infrared bridal formal photo in front of the Fairmont Hotel In San Jose.

I thought I’d combine my new love of experimenting with infrared with my old love of wedding photography.

This photo was taken in the park in front of the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose. On a busy Saturday, the park was full of people, and really not the most romantic place. A great place for people watching, but not the best place for bridal shots. However, the infrared really transforms the scene. It becomes a magical land with romance and mystery, the crowd of Saturday tourists fading into the background.
