A'BULAE Wedding Photographer

A'BULAE is downtown St. Paul's premier rooftop wedding venue. The main ballroom features dramatic chandeliers and exposed brick, but the magic is the rooftop terrace — a wraparound deck with skyline views perfect for cocktails and sunset portraits. It's where St. Paul couples go when they want grandeur with a view.

As a Twin Cities wedding photographer I love A'BULAE for the way the rooftop opens portraits up to the entire downtown skyline. The venue is also walking distance from Mears Park and Lowertown's brick alleys, giving us multiple portrait environments without ever loading into a car.

Best for

• St. Paul skyline weddings
• Rooftop cocktail hours
• Elegant ballroom receptions
• Walking-distance portraits

A photographer's tips for shooting here

• 1.Rooftop sunset cocktails are the photographer's gift — schedule cocktail hour to coincide.
• 2.Lowertown's brick alleys are a 2-minute walk for editorial portraits.
• 3.The chandelier-lit ballroom needs off-camera flash for sharp reception details.
