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). If it makes sense and it fits, you could really have a wedding almost anywhere. As long as it’s non-contrived. Same goes for Document You sessions….
A few frames from Sabrina and James’ Stanley Park wedding, on a sunny day outside of the Tea House restaurant in Vancouver.

The shot of the bride crying = perfection! And I love the silhouette.
Every one of these is stunning. Awesome work!

The “contre-jour” shot with the sundown between te couple is an awesome shot. Well done.

Gorgeous. So much emotion.
You made magic.
Great set, guys. LOVE the B&W in the ferns. Awesome shot!
Beautiful emotion! Love the 2nd set too :)
Absolutely beautiful. The one of the bride crying made my heart skip a beat. Love.
Tjusigt!
The first ceremony shot is just perfect. I love the framing. And then there’s the sun flare shot and the silhouette shot. Me likes mucho macho :)
Just came across your work, very glad I did! Stunning stuff.
This is absolutely breathtaking – the light, the sunset, everything! I’m blown away!
Wow! It is really getting better and better by each wedding you shoot. It is great to be able to follow you and your style evolving. Thanks for sharing :)
As always, great stuff Cole and Jakob. The silhouette with the tree near the bottom is lovely!

Damn. You guys rock.

Especially love the ceremony shots. So emotional.
So lovely. Great work.
Stunning photos, I love them all.
That first diptych is so simple and so stupidly beautiful. Love it.

Lovely, just lovely. :)
This is art. No more, nor less.
Excellent work.
Stunning work! Love the portrait with the sun burst.

Yup, what Nessa said :)

+1 Nessa

Boom!
Nessa +million.
WOW this is incredible!!
This just rules. Such a sick shot.
This is perfection.
WOW. Love love this!
Nailed it!
perfection.
Amazing detail. I love how everything is silhouetted but still flows without getting blocked up. Tons of points on the composition and bonus points for making the bride and groom create the initial of my first name. (and if there was a reflection somewhere, my LAST name too!) :)
you must have a good camera ;). but seriously this is amazing!
Great composition. Stunner!
Great stuff guys! Is that cropped or did you invest in a medium format camera? Thanks for a great blog.

Oooohhhhoooooh

Gorgeous shot!! Just perfection!
damn dudes.
i <3 u guys. u guys are amazing.
Love this!!
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.
