We got a BIG snow storm this week! It was bigger than the initial snow we got to kick off the year, but still not as big as we were hoping. (Why do they always predict more snow than we ever get?)Sunday night going into Monday, we got a total of about 6-7″ of snow...
Normally, the “Abby in a winter hat” is my first Abby’s Saturday photo of the year – but with New Year’s falling on Saturday this year, I wanted to enter the year with something celebratory.And then, we got our first snow of the season last week – so that obviously needed documented.And that brings us...
Welcome to my FAVORITE blog post of the entire year!!It’s the Abby’s Saturday BLOOPER blog post! Cue the confetti – yayyyy! So, let me give a tiny bit of background: once upon a time, before we had children – I looked around for a way to consistently practice & grow my photography skills. Thankfully, our...
Hey guess what? It finally snowed!!Typically, we get some snow in December (although rarely at Christmas), and last year (meaning, 2020) was 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!
