Featured! Sweetened & Romantic

Winter Rose Gold Doubletree Hotel Downtown Pittsburgh PA Wedding

I am beyond excited to be featured on Sweetened & Romantic today!

I’ve been submitting weddings for publication for over a year now & I’ve learned a few things about what wedding blogs are looking for. They love details – all the details – and not just any details, but fabulous details. So, even though I personally love & put everything I have into shooting every single wedding I photograph, sometimes I just know ahead of time that a wedding is going to be particularly fantastic. And Jess & Mike’s wedding from last November was exactly that: fantastic.

So of course, it’s no surprise that it was so quickly picked up to be published by a wedding blog! With Jess’s rose gold Kate Spade shoes, her cathedral length veil, her bridesmaid’s sparkly Rent the Runway dresses, and the unique details of their reception – it was such a fabulous day to be a part of! And you’d never know from the photos that it was the end of November & quite chilly! Jess & Mike were champions & literally the bravest to not only be outside for portraits but to walk several blocks from location to location!

They definitely deserve it – congratulations to Jess & Mike for their feature on Sweetened & Romantic!
And a special shout-out to all of the amazing vendors who worked tirelessly to make the entire wedding day incredible:

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!
