Cassie and Kayla did an engagement session at home to show off their true personality And their photographer captured their natural, at-home authenticity.

 

From the photographer, Steph Grant Photography: Love and happiness just jump out of these images. The morning of their session, we made pancakes together & played music in their brand new home. I love raw and authentic images. Images that capture a couple in their actual life being comfortable & normal. I am really looking forward to knowing Kayla and Cassie even better, but from what I can tell these two will be lifelong friends. Meet Kayla & Cassie!

 

1. How long have you two been together?

Weโ€™ve been together 6 years!

2. Where did you first meet and what was your first thought about each other when you first saw each other?

We first met at Trudyโ€™s Mexican restaurant in Austin.

Cassie: she was with a friend of mine from college- we ended up talking and laughing all night and I brought her out to my car to show her my new sound system (I thought that was really cool back then haha)โ€ฆ The band I put on happened to be her favorite band (copeland).

Kayla: first thoughts wereโ€ฆ Whoโ€™s this lesbian and why does she want to take me to her car!

3. What do you think is the most important thing to make a long lasting, loving relationship successful?

Communication, communication, communication. Oh and date nights.

4. Tell us a little bit about where you guys are getting married and why you chose that location?

St. Thomas holds a special place in our hearts, it was our first real destination trip together, also where the next year we got engaged, and is definitely the most beautiful place weโ€™ve ever been. With good restaurants!

5. What do you do for work? Kayla does visual merchandising for West Elm and I own an apartment locating company called Smart City Apartments! Weโ€™re both passionately obsessed with work just as much and were obsessed with each other

. 6. What is your guysโ€™ wedding song?

Explosions in the Sky- Your Hand in Mine. No lyrics and everything musically amazing.

7. After you wedding is over and your friends talk about your wedding day โ€ฆwhat do you hope they say?

Honestly if every single thing went wrong with the wedding, we would still be happy because we were in a beautiful place with everyone we care about. We hope that everyone would want to go back and do it all over again!!
