It feels like ages ago!”(And THAT is why I am so dedicated to creating these monthly “daily life” videos – life flies by SO fast!) The month kicked off with our FAVORITE summer event: the Norwin...

The Abbey Archives - A Compilation of our Home Movies & Family Life in July 2024

Earlier this week, on a rainy morning when we were all stuck inside, Braelynn queued up our OLD family videos – videos of us doing daily life 3+ years ago. WOW have my kids grown up in just 3 short years. They sat completely mesmorized by their baby cheeks, silly mannerisms, baby voices, and tiny...

I’m convinced that weddings are the most magical, amazing, incredible milestones a family can gather to celebrate. And when it’s MY little brother getting married – well, it’s a day heaped with the most excessive delight. My brother has been pursuing Kennedy with a single-minded passion for 5 years. He’s proven his love and devotion...

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!
