2019 Favorites – Weddings

Fall Wedding at the Belhurst Castle in Geneva, NY

Are you ready? This is traditionally my largest blog post of the whole entire year!

Happy 2020!
Wait.
I know, I know, it’s mid-February already. Every year, blogging my favorite images from the previous year seems to get pushed back further & further (I have this “problem” see, it’s called: “An abundance of ideas & content, but not enough time to pull it all together”). Last year, I didn’t get around to posting my previous year’s favorites until February, and here we are in February again! Maybe this will just be my new normal: from here on out, when everyone else is posting their “best of the best” images from the previous year in January, I’ll just be bringing up the rear with my post in February.

So, every year I break my “favorites” down into 4 different posts (can you imagine if I lumped everything in together? Yikes!) and this year, I decided to work my way backwards! Usually I start with my favorite roller coaster photos, my favorite portraits, then I go into my favorite engagement images, and I end everything with my favorite wedding photos – but this year, I’m going backwards! I’m kicking it off BIG!

As as recap: 2019 was a “slower” year for my little business – I had a fresh new baby, we were adapting to being a family of 4, and overall, the slower year was a huge blessing in disguise! 2020 will be a completely different year (things have picked way back up) – but we aren’t talking about 2020 yet – we’re talking about 2019!

I loved every single wedding I photographed in 2019 – they were all absolutely beautiful & perfect & my brides & grooms were amazing. Seriously, I am so privileged to work with the most stellar people on the whole planet! I have so many beautiful, happy memories from 2019 – and of course, these photos tell the stories of just a few of them!

If you’d like to see some of my previous “favorite wedding” posts, you can find
2018’s favorite wedding images here,
2017’s favorite wedding images here,
2016’s favorite wedding images here, 
2015’s favorite wedding images here, & 
2014’s favorite wedding images here!

So, here we go! These are my favorite wedding images from 2019 (in absolutely no particular order – seriously, I put all of my favorite images into a “randomizer” and this is the order it spit everything out in – how could I ever put 350+ images in any sort of order?)

Hi Im Kara Abbey a Wedding Photographer in Irwin PA

Hi! I'm Kara!

Welcome to my blog!

I'm a Pittsburgh-based wedding photographer and wedding content creator with a love for storytelling, both on wedding days and beyond.

I've been part of the wedding industry since 2009, documenting 250+ wedding days and helping couples preserve the moments, big and small, that make their day uniquely theirs.

When I'm not working a wedding, you'll probably find me creating videos for my personal YouTube channel, The Adventuring Abbeys, where my family and I share our love of amusement parks, roller coasters, and travel.

Around here, you'll find wedding inspiration and behind-the-scenes content, family adventures, amusement park visits, travel stories, and a little bit of everyday life.

I'm so glad you're here!
