No formal update this week! Instead of sitting down & writing out everything that’s happened this week, I’m saving it all up for next week! Just know that this week has been packed to the brim with wrapping presents, Christmas movies, baking Christmas cookies, eating so much delicious food, spending wonderful time with our family...
Merry Christmas Eve! It’s the official start of the holiday weekend! Our house is DONE! After a slight delay due to rain last week – we got back on track this week and HOLY COW I don’t even recognize our house. (In case you haven’t been following along over the last 2 weeks, we had...
So, if today’s Abby’s Saturday photo looks familiar, it should! I have taken a “Silhouette” photo at the Christmas tree (almost) every year now & of course, this year is no exception!

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!
