Men i och med att vi bor i Vancouver, och att man här under vinterhalvåret får räkna med en hel del gråa dagar, har vi fått lära oss att jobba med det mesta. Och det går ju faktiskt att jobba med vilket väder som helst utan att egentligen behöva tumma på resultatet alls, bara man är lite kreativ.

Den här sessionen med Jenn och Scott blev ju t.ex. helt okej, trots att det var den gråaste dagen i mannaminne.

When we first started Nordica almost a year ago now, it was Vancouver winter (i.e. rainy) and alleys were our best friends. If you’ve followed us since then, you’ve seen quite a few alley shoots.

Well, the last few months it’s been sunny and warm so we haven’t really used the alleys too much. Yesterday, however, it felt like we were back in November – wet and chilly – so we decided to go back to the old faithful, badass alleys. And I have a feeling we’ll do that quite a few times the coming months.

So we did an alley style couple shoot and it turned out pretty cool. The full session will be up on the Nordica site soon.

Here’s Cole creeping around while I was trying to find the perfect composition of Adam and Lisa last night.

And here I am in one of Cole’s pictures.

We got some great stuff with Adam and Lisa though. Check out a couple of frames on the Nordica site. Lots more is coming.

And I always answer that I don’t know. That it depends on the couple, the situation and the chemistry.

But thinking more about it, I’d have to choose the prior. Even though it sometimes may be a bit awkward at first, it’s easier and more comfortable if you have some sort of relation with the people on the other side of the lens. That’s also a reason why we (as in Nordica) always try to meet and chat with couples before shoots. And why we prefer doing engagement shoots before weddings. To build that relation.

This one didn’t need much relationship building though. These are two of my best friends from back home, and Cole and I did an engagement shoot (they got engaged on a paradise island just before flying in to Canada) with them as they were visiting Vancouver on their trip around the world.

Check out the full shoot here.

Sorry for bringing that up, but I just want to stress the fact that Nordica Photography will be spending December and January in Sweden/Finland celebrating the holidays with family and friends. And while relaxing is the main reason we’re going “home”, we would love (love!) to do some winter weddings in the region (region = Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland or any other place “close”).

So if you know anyone getting married around that time, please let them know that we are available and would love to discuss their wedding photography.

Nordica Photography kommer att spendera jul- och nyårshelgen i Sverige/Finland och skulle mer än gärna fota några härliga vinterbröllop under tiden vi är “hemma”.

Så om du känner nån som ska gifta sig i december eller januari och som inte har bokat fotograf ännu, be dem skicka ett mejl. Vi vill jättegärna diskutera eventuella fotomöjligheter!

EDIT: Full post up here.

What you might not know is that we’re having a Tagging contest over there right now, where all you need to do is tag yourself in a picture to be in the draw for a free Premium Social Media Package (i.e. a free photo shoot, a free custom made Twitter background and a free website / blog).

Head over to our Facebook page to check it out, 71 people have entered this far. The contest has been running for three days and will close April 1st, at noon Vancouver time.

Oh, and by the way – you might also want to check out the pictures from the Hearts for Haiti event, where Nordica Photography was doing live photo blogging. We also donated an item – which was sold – and we had a heck of a good time.
Many thanks and congrats to Amber and the rest of the crew who made this event a huge success!
