Recently we had an inquiry about taking IRÂ (Infrared) pictures on a wedding day. This is good because I really love taking Infrared Pictures. Haven’t done too many weddings with IR as I am not sure if people would really like it or not. Here is an image from a wedding and the rest were taken today in different light conditions.

When the Morning Becomes Magic ✨
Before the music, before the crowd, before the chaos — there’s a quiet hum that fills the air on a wedding morning.
For Samantha and Abhi, that hum became pure celebration as their day unfolded at Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg, Virginia — from the tender stillness of their first look to the unstoppable energy of Abhi’s Baraat.
There was laughter in every corner, joy in every frame, and a sense that this wasn’t just a wedding — it was the heartbeat of two families coming alive together.
Because a great Baraat doesn’t just start the day… it defines it. 💛

When you’ve walked ¼ mile in someone else’s shoes…
you stop judging — and start understanding. 💫
This week, Srinu and I get real about what it means to love across faith lines — inspired by the world’s growing curiosity about JD & Usha Vance’s interfaith marriage.
We’ve lived it — for over 26 years — a Hindu-Christian couple raising kids, running a business, and learning that love doesn’t have to match to matter.
In this episode, we talk about:
✨ Navigating interfaith marriage with respect
✨ Raising children in multi-faith homes
✨ Why kindness > conversion
✨ How public judgment can teach private grace
This isn’t about politics — it’s about people.
It’s about what keeps us human, humble, and hopeful.

NEW and NOW ON THE BLOG!
Some nights don’t need chandeliers or ballrooms to feel magical — ✨
just family, laughter, and a sky full of Virginia stars.
Samantha and Abhijeet’s Mehndi was one of those moments that remind us what celebration is really about — connection.
Held in her aunt and uncle’s backyard in Leesburg, this poolside evening glowed with string lights, color, and laughter that echoed across generations.
The music, the henna, the warmth — it all blended effortlessly, proving that modern South Asian weddings aren’t about reinventing tradition… they’re about living it differently.
It’s not “his side” or “her side” anymore — it’s one story.
And for us, that’s where the real beauty lives.

i love these pictures. My sister had asked me how photographers did this. I have no idea, but I like it. Is that something that you can only do with outside light?
Tania,
I actually had one my Digital SLRs converted to an Infrared camera. I am sure if you did a search on infrared photography you would find tons of information. But to put it in layman’s terms an infrared picture is taken by blocking the visible light. Infrared light is outside the visible spectrum. So what you actually do is put a filter in front of the digital film which blocks only the visitble light but allows infrared light. So thats how these pictures were taken. Usualy when its a clear blue sky there is no IR light to reflect so clear blue sky would look really dark in the picture. Geen vegetation seems to reflect (not sure if it also radiates) lot of IR light so green grass and green leaves showup really light in the IR images.
Sorry if this explanation is bad 🙂

Forgot to answer your question:
It is not true that you can take IR pictures only in daylight, you can also do it indoors and you will see some interesting results. I will post some samples of images that were taken with flash indoors later.
