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…
In emails and on our Formspring, we receive questions daily about what makes the world of Nordica tick. And a question we’ve been asked about quite a lot lately is doing workshops.

I’ve made a step into the game but only for my business not looking to venture down your lane. I am rocking a canon 5d Mach 2 I’ve dOne my research and can get some decent shots (I think) lets see if we can work something out.

if you happen to pass by Gothenburg, I am interested in a workshop.
^ I second that! :)
Couple’s often ask us about general ideas and thoughts for their weddings. And our answer is pretty much always the same. We’re definitely no experts on weddings per se, but we’ve been to a few by now, and there’s one thing we’ve picked up on: The more real you keep it, the better. Don’t put…

you guys are ridiculous. in a good way.
Really freakin’ awesome!
I like what you wrote about “being real.” I say that to others too. Sometimes I wonder what a wedding would be like if there was no wedding dress, no tuxedo, and no fancy venue. Just family, friends, and the couple. I’d imagine people would be their most genuine selves.
Oh my goodness, your work is always always amazing.
this whole post = win. amazing set, as always!
That shot of the blurred lights through the cracked and splintered wood? Just amazing!
Love your work :)
This couple looks like so much fun, you did a great job capturing that!
i love everything about this wedding. so much emotion and so much love. you guys always make me smile.
again ;-)))
I actually shook my head a few times while looking at this wedding. simply amazing. so real & fun.
Absolutely fantastic. What a beautiful coverage of a wedding.
I specially like the indoor pictures from the couple shoot inside the barn to the end. Very nice way of the party is on :)
Great work.
Freaking-fantastic, as always. Awesome work guys.
You guys are insane. The gun shot shot?? Spectacular. Your bridal party group shots? Brilliant. I love you.
This is such a great wedding. I really enjoyed looking through it. Especially love the shot of the bride showing off her ring. Such a cool perspective on that!
Brilliant guys. I like what you see…
Woah! Great set! And that guy has a gun. Honestly though, from the getting ready stuff through to the dancing, you’ve got it all.
I’ve always looked forward to your blog posts, and this one delivered as always, amazing work.
Great places. Great couple. Great story. Hugs from Spain.
This is so radical! I slap myself every time i look at your weddings.
Wow! Such a stunning location and the moments you’ve captured are fantastic!
A really tight set of images! And the groom had a pop gun as well, never seen that before!

Another homerun boys. So beautifully captured.

I read your blog..this is really interesting..Where do you want the pictures taken? Do you want posed shots before and after the ceremony? Or just candids taken during the ceremony and reception? Do you want some outdoor shots?
You have a great blog!!~! Thanks sharing this information with us.

Anne - 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.
