If you’ve been following my blog for a while & feel like this “suitcase” photo is familiar, you’d be correct! I’ve taken renditions of this photo almost every year now! It actually kind of makes my heart hurt to look back thru this progression – how are my babies getting so big?! Number 350, Number...
Happy 400th Abby’s Saturday!!I can’t even wrap my brain around that number: four hundred.I NEVER would have guessed that this little “challenge” I decided to give myself (that I started back in 2013) would bring me 9 years into the future & 400 published photos later (with literally thousands of images hitting the cutting room...
Happy Easter weekend!I’ll be honest: things aren’t so hot in the Abbey house this weekend.

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!
