A series of wedding photographs depicting a couple embracing as a tornado rips through the landscape behind them are causing quite the storm on social media.

Colleen Niska, a professional photographer, snapped the images on Saturday in a rural area outside of Saskatchewan, Canada

Niska shared the photographs in a Facebook gallery, writing that she'd "dreamed about a day like this" and that these kinds of images "will only happen once in my lifetime!"

As of today, Niska's gallery was shared more than 12,000 times by Facebook users, accumulating nearly 17,000 likes and almost 1,000 comments.

Many Facebook users also expressed disbelief at the couples' seemingly casual response to the tornado unfolding behind them, while others drew comparisons to Oregon newlyweds who used a raging wildfire as the background for their wedding photos last month.

Social media was also buzzing with amateur video of two tornadoes that also emerged in Saskatchewan over the weekend.
