The Abbey Archives - A Compilation of our Home Movies & Family Life in November 2025

November was a big month for a certain member of our family – because Braelynn officially said, “Goodbye” to her braces this month!(So many people have asked us, so to clarify: these were just “Phase One” braces, meant to correct the placement of one of her rogue adult teeth that came in in the wrong...

The Abbey Archives - A Compilation of our Home Movies & Family Life in October 2025

October is always my favorite month – I love the summer changing into fall, the beautiful weather and leaves – oh and it’s my birthday month (so you better believe I milk that for all it’s worth!) October is also always a very busy month for my business – surprise! Everyone wants to get married...

We kicked off the month celebrating my cousin Nate marrying his beautiful bride Tai’Asia! I was the photographer and Derrick the videographer,...

Preserving Family Memories from July 2025 | The Abbey Archives

The Abbey Archives - A Compilation of our Home Movies & Family Life in July 2025

July is Stitch & Angel month – let me explain: Braelynn learned how to crochet over a year ago, but when she first started – reading a crochet pattern really overwhelmed her.

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!
