One more shot from a recent wedding in Edmonton. We’ll have the full post up soon.

Every Edmonton wedding photographer (and couples getting married there in the winter) gets a cordial hat tip from us – they’re tough. The outdoor portraits we did in -25°C (something like -50°C with the windchill) was no walk in the park, so kudos to Ashley and Andrew for toughing it out. Cold weather aside, we had…

You guys do beautiful work! New fan in Denver, Colorado!!

Destination weddings in Cancun, Mexico, can be painted with a stereotypical brush from time to time. Beers. Sun. Beach. Party. Big hats. Tequila. More party. You know the drill. The story doesn’t always need to be told that way though. It doesn’t always have to be all sunshine and roses. Raegen and Doug struck us…

i think you guys are really good at what you do.
Good work guys!!
Your work constantly inspires me. The naturalness… the unique perspective… the mood. I love it all.
This is just gorgeous! I never considered myself a beach bride, but you may have converted me :)
Oh guys, this is so amazing! I am working on getting my plan ready so I can learn from you. :) Awesome work
Superb, truly. But honestly, I expect no less every time I come to your site. You guys never disappoint.
So I’ve come to realize that the reason I like your work so much is because it reminds me of Wes Anderson films. This post especially. Great work, you two.
dibs on a post card :)

Vajjert! Blir badsugen :-)
Beautifully captured my friends. Love those rain shots!
Amazing, I love your unique vision on these. Such a wonderful wedding.
Some amazing shots in the rain, but my favorite is the one with the little girl on the bed watching everyone…lovely.
Just beautiful. I feel like I was there.
Love the framing in the wide-angle (24mm?) shot of “the kiss”. : D
So so good guys! Those moody clouds are amazing!
Art. Your work is so magical, Cole and Jakob. You two never cease to amaze.
Amazing, as usual from you guys. I have to say I LOVE her dress (and equally so that she chose a color, while others in the wedding party wore white).
Fantastic set – I can’t decide if I prefer the color or the BW shots – they are all amazing!
this image is crazy cool http://nordicaphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cancun-wedding-photographer079.jpg – love the way you’re using exposure to tell a story
I am going to bookmark this post and come back to it again and again and again for inspiration! Amazing.
And I love the shot of the guy with the portrait right behind him looking at him!
Wow! Just wow! Your work is amazing :)
Incredible shots. The baby and the mother in the sudden rainstorm gave me chills, so beautiful.
Top drawer work fellas.. love this wedding!
Great set per usual fellas. Really love the moody cloud shots as well as the epic bodybuilder.
Going out on a limb here and saying these photographs are really good.
its unbelievable how you guys roll. seriously, amazing work gentlemen. i love visiting.
This is amazing! And the feet shot is just magical.
Her dress is stunning! Fabulous work, as always. Love their day!
Yeah, so, you guys blew my mind with this wedding. This is my favorite: http://nordicaphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cancun-wedding-photographer067.jpg
Ridiculously Awesome!
Beautiful images
Not sure how I missed this… but wow. Killed it, guys.Amazing!
M m m :-) From dawn to dusk, perfect!
My gosh – I l.o.v.e it!!
Had me at shiny muscle man.
So damn good.
Lovely wedding… I especially like the atmospheric photos… the sky, the beach, the birds, the rainbow, etc. Adds a lot of drama to the event.
Love the colours you captured of the waiter making the drink that’s on fire – so amazing!! Great photos!!
Bravo guys, it was a great adventure, the weather and those colours. Awesome!
Love them, fantastic images!
So natural and I loved the lady holding her baby in the rain. Amazing!
Love the muscle man shot! Great post all around per usual.

If you say you aren’t weird, you’re lying. Everyone is weird in their own way, and when you embrace the weirdness, life is that much more awesome. Weird is a good thing. When we met Karen and Cameron in 2010, we left thinking this: “Penguin ice sculpture? That’s weird.” You see, Cameron had intended on building…

Absolute Radness. I really admire how you worked with the amazing ambient light in the church. Others may have not typically seen that and would have used flash. Amazing as always guys!
Awesome wedding y’all. The last two images are trippy.
Loved the photos. The chance to play that song while looking through the images was a really nice touch. Very fitting. Keep up the great work!
Love the use of light in this one…amazing fellas!
absolutely crazy cool.
http://nordicaphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wedding-photographer-017.jpg
Wow, such vision and creativity in every photo. Love the tilt-shift of the priest in the church.
You are the best…:)
Your words….your photography….it seriously made my heart hurt with happiness. You have a gift!
Dudes, that first dress shot is killer. Great set fellas.
fantastic work! love your vision!
So lovely…you guys are very gifted
You conveyed a sense of warmth with your colors in the church. Kudos, boys.
The subtle reflection of the dress in the window in that first few shots is awesome.
Your visions align to make some magnificent ****. Well done guys.
Gah! Splendidly awesome stuff guys!
Lovely set! Well done guys!
Awesome work as ever guys! Absolutely love those church shots!
Very nice tricky party photos.
Nice work guys!!
Stunning coverage as ever – love the shot of the devil on the church steps!
Too good guys!
A big high five! Unbelievably good…
You work is always amazing. Love it. You did an amazing job with this. That faint dress reflection in the window is amazing. Great job!
gentlemen, every time i visit i am greeted with amazing images and stories. it inspires me friends. so good.
Perfect technique, great vision, amazing light !!!
man their portraits are insane! the dancing shots are pretty funny too!
Insanely beautiful you guys, and the guy with the mask outside the church?? Well that’s definitely weird :)
I was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the true meaning of these images began to take hold. Staggering beauty.
awesome wedding. your comp is top notch and i really love the feel and tones.
Really stunning work as usual. The portrait with the raindrops is gorgeous.
great story photos with lot of love and fun, i love you post process work
a stunning collection of photographs. epic church and wicked light…chain link fence and bride with flowers allll good…superb.
Those dress shots are ridiculous. And the picture of the pews with the little stream of light? Stunning.
Looks like an ABSOLUTE blast!
Of course this is amazing. The shots of them together are so beautiful.
Great set guys. so well captured.
Yet another stunning album! Fantastic work lads!
Superb wedding, guys! Just awesome from beginning to end.
Yep, we’re all weird, and my favorite people are the ones who recognize it and embrace it.
Stay weird my friends.
wickedly good photography from beginning to end. I really liked that church wide angle picture with all that light on the people in the middle. Great light control.
Amazing set. Loved the range of portraits in this one.
I love the way you guys see and shoot light.
What a wonderful setting and a beautiful day. I love your liberal use of black and white in the images presented!
WOW what a great wedding! love the bride and groom shots
Love how you played a bit with contrast in the church. Beautiful work as always! :)

2011 was the year we got to know who Nordica is becoming. The year a face began to emerge. But it didn’t just happen, and it wasn’t without playing a bit of house along the way. We’ve always referred to Nordica as our baby, and it is. Nordica’s roots are deep within both our lives…

Congratulations on an amazing year – I can’t wait to see what 2012 holds for Nordica (or 2018 for that matter!)
Brilliant work. You have done amazing work this year! I wish you all well for next year!
Wow, these are all gorgeous photos. I look forward to seeing what 2012 will bring from Nordica.
Truly amazing stuff from you two! A good year for sure!
I had to slow down my day and take it in, very slowly, frame by frame. Cole & Jakob you have created something incredibly beautiful.
Always blown away guys. Great work!
So inspiring! What a fabulous set of images, they are just breathtaking.
What an awesome year it must have been for you guys
Every single image is a show stopper. Great work fellows.
What the?…!
You guys are sick!
Beautiful art guys!
Your work floors me. Every single time. Your images are about weddings, mostly, but it is the people (and all of their human-ness) that shine through. That displays a skill that is beyond even the most complex manipulation of light through a machine. It shows that you’ve been growing this a lot longer than just the time that you’ve been holding cameras… Congrats on a beautiful year.
you guys are out of control. what a year.
that photo of the (father’s?) outstretched hand and girl crawling across the aisle is ridiculously excellent photojournalism. Of course the whole set is superb, but that one blew. me. away.
WOW #3 is my fav!! That is an amazing group of photos my friend!!
Amazing year for you guys!
Joyful, joyful stuff, guys! Looking forward to seeing more in 2012! x
So glad you guys put this epic post together, inspiring to look through your year of work. Keep it up for reals!
Congrats on a great year! Such lovely photos each time. Looking forward to seeing more in the coming years! :)

It’s so frustrating because I want to say everything and still nothing sums up my feelings. So I’ll just say: ♥
Speechless. Just send this link to all prospective clients and you’re done.
By far my favorite year in review so far. Such a joy to scroll through these, and I love the song choice, too. So excited to see what 2012 brings for you.

It’s amazing that places I’ve never been, moments I’ve never witnessed and people I’ve never met could make me feel as much as these frames do. Your work speaks loudly enough for us all to hear. Speechless.
