Featured! Love & Lavender

Christmas in July Themed Wedding featured Irwin, PA Photographer

I am beyond excited to be featured on Love & Lavender today!

Weddings with a strong theme are always incredible, in my book. So much stronger than just a color palette, a theme gives your wedding direction and your decor a purpose. A theme takes all of the guesswork out of decorating (centerpieces, favors, decor) & can make things so much simpler.

When Sarah & Jason told me they were planning a Christmas in July themed wedding, my mind instantly went to Christmas trees, sparkly ornaments, and, of course, lots and lots of twinkle lights! And they did not disappoint! I loved how they tied the red & green Christmas colors into every detail of their day (without going over the top & making it cheesy) and made it feel like Christmas, even though it was pretty warm outside!

And now, as we head into the Christmas season, I’m so excited that their wedding is getting shown off by being published!

Congratulations to Sarah & Jason for their feature on Love & Lavender!

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!
