Kristyn & Alex | Wedding Film

Kristyn & Alex had a wonderful wedding day at the lovely A’bulae in St Paul, Minnesota on 6/3/2017. Kristyn start off the Wedding Film with an emotional reaction reading a letter from Alex.

There are moments in every wedding that stay with you — moments of joy, laughter, tenderness, and raw emotion. For Kristyn and Alex, their wedding day at the beautiful A’bulae in St. Paul, Minnesota, was filled with all of that and more. Every frame of their wedding film tells a love story that’s honest, heartfelt, and deeply moving.

The day began with anticipation in the air. Kristyn, surrounded by her closest friends, slipped into her wedding dress in the bridal suite at A’bulae, an elegant and modern venue perched above the city with sweeping rooftop views. Her energy was a mix of excitement, gratitude, and quiet nerves — all leading up to a beautiful moment that opened the wedding film and set the emotional tone for the entire day.

Reading a letter from Alex, Kristyn’s reaction was one of the most powerful moments we’ve ever captured. Tears welled up in her eyes as she took in his words — words filled with deep love, shared memories, and promises for the life they were about to begin. This wasn’t just a cinematic scene — it was real, raw, and incredibly touching. It reminded everyone watching what a wedding is really about: the emotional connection between two people who have chosen forever.

Meanwhile, Alex was getting ready just a few floors away. His excitement was quiet but undeniable. As he buttoned his shirt and adjusted his tie, he took a moment to breathe — reflecting, smiling, and clearly imagining the moment he’d see Kristyn for the first time that day.

Their first look happened in the light-filled interior of A’bulae. When Kristyn walked up behind him and Alex turned to see her, the emotion was instant. No words needed to be said. Their embrace, their smiles, and the way they looked at each other told us everything. It was a perfect moment that grounded the day in love and presence.

The ceremony took place in A’bulae’s modern event space, surrounded by natural light and warm wood tones. With close friends and family seated around them, Kristyn and Alex exchanged vows that felt deeply personal. There were moments of laughter and moments of tears — and through it all, a sense of peace that comes from knowing you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

After the ceremony, we captured a series of portraits on the rooftop, with panoramic views of the St. Paul skyline behind them. As the golden hour sun dipped lower, Kristyn and Alex shared quiet moments away from the crowd, their hands entwined, their laughter echoing in the breeze. These unscripted snippets became some of the most compelling visuals in the film.

The reception was a joyful celebration. A’bulae’s contemporary design, paired with soft uplighting, floral centerpieces, and thoughtful details, created a perfect atmosphere for the evening. From heartfelt toasts to an energetic dance floor, every guest was fully engaged in the celebration. Kristyn and Alex’s first dance was equal parts sweet and intimate — a moment they seemed to fall into as the music played around them.

What makes Kristyn and Alex’s wedding film so memorable isn’t just the beautiful venue or the perfect lighting — it’s the emotion. Their love is authentic, deep, and full of respect and friendship. And through every scene, that love shines.

It was an honor for us at Northern Lights Video, Inc. to capture this incredible day. From the tearful letter reading to the last dance of the night, Kristyn and Alex’s wedding at A’bulae was nothing short of magical.
