Wedding content creation is still very new. In fact, if you aren’t tapped into the “wedding algorithm” on social media, you very likely aren’t even sure what a Wedding Content Creator is or does. (If you fall into that category – no worries! You can get a quick intro to what a Wedding Content Creator...
“We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Kara. She was absolutely wonderful from start to finish and somehow managed to be everywhere all at once throughout our wedding day.

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!
