DID YOU MISS PART 1? GO BACK AND SEE IT HERE! The beauty of going to a park like Cedar Point and staying on property (we stayed at the LEGENDARY Hotel Breakers!) is just how much flexibility you have during your stay! Being able to simply walk from the hotel over to the Magnum Gate...
We have DREAMED of staying at the LEGENDARY Hotel Breakers for years and years and we FINALLY made that dream a reality! At the end of August, we booked a 3-day weekend at Cedar Point, staying at Hotel Breakers – we had the most beautiful, fun weekend together as a family of four!(Hotel Breakers definitely...
We almost thought we had completely messed up our hotel booking because this place was giving full “Motel 6” energy when we pulled in. And it’s $350 a night. But what we found out back completely changed everything. You’ve heard the saying: “Don’t judge a book by its cover” before, right? Well, if I were...
If you’ve watched my channel before, you know I usually review hotels connected to theme parks and big touristy destinations – so this is a bit different, but still just as fun. Typically when we travel, we pack our time full to the brim with roller coasters and sight-seeing, but this past November, we were...
It’s time for FEBRUARY FAVORITES! Once upon a time, I used to rush and scramble to pull my favorite images from the past year together in time to post in January. But in 2019, I said: “NAH” and decided it was completely fine to wait until February to post my favorite images – and it...
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!
