If you work in the wedding industry, it’s likely that you’ve heard of Katya Nova.

Katya and Rob had a morning sunrise ceremony along the beach in the Dominican Republic,…
Hosting a forest wedding makes sense if you’re into forests and nature. Or a mountain wedding. Or a beach wedding. Or a bingo-hall wedding (if bingo is your thing).

For this Document You session*, we started in a Tim Hortons coffee shop. Très Canadian. And ended in this forest. Part of the reason we ended here was because poison ivy can be a real mood killer. And after falling in a patch to get to this spot, we decided to call it a night. Taking pictures at…

I would expect nothing less.
No really, hope you’re okay after another awesome shot. Cheers!
Awesome frame guys!

Great photo!
A few weeks ago, I meandered over to the Vancouver Flea Market and picked up an old film camera and some lenses for a pittance. Just to mix it up a little. I’ve shot a few rolls by now, and even though I’m still very much learning the ways of film photography, I figured I…

Awesome! Im trying to learn film more as well. What camera did you use? Looks great.
you sure you’re only just starting out with this? haha. awesome.
Meredith: They’re all shot with a Canon AE-1.
second frame is fresh to death.
Love the old radios!
I’ve always loved your compositions and seeing it on film just made your work even more interesting to look at. Light leaks, double exposure, flare. Love it.
before you know it you’ll be rockin a contax and fuji 400…this is how it starts…
Great work, absolutely loving #6. This has inspired me to go and grab my old Pentax camera and shoot another roll!
Love the light leaks in the photos!
No surprise that you would be great at shooting film! Awesome stuff.
love. perfect post. i heart film x
Working with film is such an awesome experience. The colors and the feel of pictures that we get is out of the world.
Whats the red strip.. can you share that.
Girish: Light leaks.
Beautiful. Love the light leaks and the double exposures.
Love the light leaks, creates a beautiful uniqueness to the images.
Beautiful stuff man! Keep going!!

Your eye is just impeccable. Film is definitely your friend :)
Hey, looks like you’ve been to Portland!
The old radios! My favorite shot and certainly fits the film vibe perfectly. Outstanding, as always.
The frame with the antique radios? Love it!
Film has this great quality…
Nice stuff, Jakob. I really like your compositions.
a cut above. your eyeballs are too good.
love it, great images. the image with the kick feels great
thank god for leaky cameras. These are awesome Jakob.
These are amazing. I purchased an old film camera a few weeks ago as well and can’t wait to get my film developed.
this is great Jakob! You’re a fast learner!
the red energiser column running through the sun shot is cool
cheers!!!!
Awesome series! Love the compositions and the light leaks worked in your favor.
LOVE that sunset shot!
