For every vacation we’ve gone on, I’ve written a blog post about our trip (see a few of those posts here, here, & here). I am a photographer, so obviously I take hundreds of photos while we are away & coming home to edit & share those photos is just a part of my DNA....
Derrick & I have been planning a Florida trip for 2 years.We originally said that we were going to go to Florida in the spring of 2020 – and well, you can connect the dots as to what happened & why we didn’t go.So, as spring 2021 rolled around, we kind of looked at each...

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!
