Factory Coffee

Kristi and Greg - Kalamazoo engagement session

Greg and Kristi are some of the coolest people you ever meet, and that is a fact. 
We first met up at a microbrewery over by Detroit to go over wedding details and engagement ideas, and by the time I left I felt like I had known them for years. 
They live their lives having genuine fun in one another's company, and I didn't have to encourage laughter even once during entire engagement session. 

You can't tell from the photos, but it was a wintery spring  day, so we started off in the comfort of Factory Coffee in Kalamazoo, and since their wedding will be taking place at the coolest brewery complex ever, it only made sense that beer would make it's appearance somewhere in the photos.

I am so pumped for their wedding this fall!

Mandie - Kalamazoo winter portraits

When the day of Mandie's portrait session arrived, it was a balmy 7 degrees outside. Was that going to stop us from taking some killer photos? Heck no. Not a chance. 
I love the opportunity to find new locations, killer light and studio time. We even managed to grab a few outside, this lady is a true champion!
