Wedding Videography and Photography in Abella Farmhouse

Ashley and Jaden’s wedding at Abella Farmhouse was one of those days that felt easy from the moment it started. Abella sits just outside Chisago City, surrounded by open land and old trees, so everything feels quiet and intentional without being stiff or overly styled. It’s the kind of place that works especially well for couples who want a relaxed, outdoor-focused wedding that still feels put together.

The day started on-site with both Ashley and Jaden getting ready at the farmhouse. Having everything in one location made the timeline smooth and stress-free. No rushing between venues, no padding time for travel. That alone makes a huge difference on a wedding day, especially for couples planning a Minnesota wedding close to home.

Their ceremony took place outdoors with the farmhouse and surrounding greenery as the backdrop. Natural light, soft wind, and a calm crowd set the tone. Ashley and Jaden kept things personal and simple, which translated beautifully on video. The focus stayed where it should be—on the people and the moments, not on over-the-top production.

After the ceremony, we moved straight into portraits around the property. Abella Farmhouse has plenty of spots that don’t require much walking or staging. Open fields, trees, and the farmhouse itself give you variety without killing the timeline. This made it easy to capture candid moments while guests enjoyed cocktail hour nearby.

The reception flowed right after, with dinner, speeches, and dancing all happening on-site. Speeches were emotional without being long, and the energy picked up fast once the dance floor opened. Those are always the moments couples tell me they’re most grateful to have on film later—the in-between stuff, the reactions, the things you don’t see while you’re in it.

For couples in Chisago City or the surrounding area looking at Abella Farmhouse as a wedding venue, it’s a solid choice if you want a day that feels natural, organized, and not overcomplicated. From a videography standpoint, it’s one of those venues where the environment supports the story instead of distracting from it.

Ashley and Jaden’s day was a great example of how a well-planned timeline and a venue close to home can make the entire experience feel more meaningful and less rushed. Those are the weddings that age well on film.
