Just outside of St. Louis, Missouri, there’s a gem called Knotting Hills—a gorgeous wedding venue that’s all about timeless charm and down-to-earth vibes. It is a wedding photographer’s dream venue! Recently, it was the perfect spot for a styled engagement photo shoot that allowed local STL wedding vendors to collaborate. Picture this: a sweet picnic, white roses galore, and even a live painter, all coming together to create a evening filled with love and laughter.

The shoot was a team effort, with venue coordinators, marquee letters and event stylist working their magic to make everything look straight out of a fairytale. The model couple—they were recently engaged and totally radiated that lovey-dovey, can’t-stop-smiling vibe. They made capturing those special moments a breeze from the moment Abril walked into the space until Adnan dropped to one knee.

Some of the extra special touches were the hand engraved champagne glasses, the gorgeous table scape and live painter on hand, turning the day’s magic into beautiful art right before our eyes. It was such pleasure to work with so many talented vendors and I am so grateful to Stef of The Party Co STL for including me in this gorgeous evening.
