Thought I’d share some of the photos I snapped while on holiday in Las Vegas about a week ago. It was my first, but definitely not the last trip down there. So if anyone has their wedding in Vegas… :) /Jakob (For all of you photo enthusiasts, these were shot with the Fuji X100.)
A few of months ago I flew down to Xcaret, just outside Cancun in the Mayan Riviera, Mexico, to shoot a wedding with one of the most talented wedding photographers in the world. Senor Fer Juaristi. A couple of days later I returned to Vancouver, having shot a wedding with not only one of the…

this is unreal! so so so many incredible shots. the guy with that hat I want on my wall. Fer is second shooting with me in November and I CANNOT wait. Hope I remember to actually shoot rather than just watch him the whole time.
There aren’t words for how amazing this is.
Breathtakingly beautiful work!
wow, this is…wow!
I need to express myself in Finnish now: Sairaaaaan makeita!

Amazing – staggering use of light.
Wow, amazing photos.
Brilliant work. Brilliant.
Wow, just wow you absolutely killed it!
Ridiculous.
All good, but there are some frames in there that are RIDICULOUS.
Just amazing. I agree with Senor Brenizer.
beautiful work guys! nice one!
I quit. No, I’m not, but seriously, you make me want to be a better photographer. Like, AYKM???

What a wedding! Never seen anything like that.
We return here in every single day! Your photos are so inspiring. Full of fantastic light and colours.
Amazing job!! Congratulations!!
This is superb!
They say cloudy days are good for photography. A cloud is like a huge softbox for the sun, making the light fall nice and even on the subject. And they’re right. It does. But cloudy days can be pretty darn boring too. Nice, but boring. For the portrait session on Kathie and Jamie’s wedding day, we…

yup, this is pretty brilliant.
Whether you read photography books or take photography classes, something you’ll eventually learn are all the rules of photography. Rules about composition, about focus, about light, and all that. And that’s great, of course. It’s important to know and understand the basics rules of photography. But it’s also fun to completely ignore them. The above photos…

Nice point, and well put with an example. Mainly the hair flying shots look very nice with a little off focus.
I really like the last one though.
As you may have figured out (at least if you’ve met us), this is one half of the Nordica machine – Cole – and his gorgeous girlfriend Therese, photographed by the other half of Nordica. Yeah, I know, right. How did he score her… (Kidding, bud.) I actually met Therese – who is now also…

Min älskade dotter.. ni är sÃ¥ himla fina pÃ¥ bilderna. Jag blir rörd ända in i hjärteroten när jag ser den ena bilden efter den andra. Vilket kanonjobb du gjort Jakob som lyckats med att fÃ¥ Cole pÃ¥ den här sidan lincen… Saknar er sÃ¥ men snart ses vi..
Kram till er alla ..
Nice work Jakob… great pictures of a great couple!

These are so great! Awesome session and to be honest, until now I didn’t even realize there WAS a 5am! :) You guys look fantastic!
Killing it as per the usual Jakob, and nice job Cole. ;) #5 and #10 especially need to go on some canvas.
I love the set taken in the dark with the bits of warm light shining in on them. Gorgeous!
Love them.
Awweesssoommmeee images Jacob (who should change his name to Viking!). C & T = hawt!

Really love these! Lovely lighting…so glad I found your blog! Inspiring :)
Gorgeous.
cole is one lucky man. amazing photos.

beautiful. nice work Jakob !
Love your use of negative space! Great work!
beautiful work, lovely.
I love your work, the key light in which work and image processing especially at night. Chema
Fantastic photos and she is GORGEOUS. Good job, Cole!
Photographers tend to marry up… trust me, I know.
Lovely images. What a wonderful location. I like the shadow of the tree on the concrete in the first image.
Most photographers only focus on the subject and neglect the surrounding elements. It is amazing to see work that uses every avaialble element (light, shadows, composition, etc) to make a photograph. Photographers take pictures and Artists make photographs – You my friend are an artist.
Oh vad fina ni är!!
Snyggt jobb Jakob!
Awww, you lucky guy, Cole!
Well done.
dude, congrats on your engagement. the best for both.
