CONTENT CREATOR & PHOTOGRAPHER
So, as I was combing thru all of my photos from last year, I realized that I desperately wanted to add a “personal” category to my “favorites” posts. And, well, since this is my space on the internet & I’m the boss here, I decided to go for it! I have the most amazing job...
I know I have said this before, and I will say it again in the future, but I love shooting engagement sessions! There is just something so fun about celebrating the super short season in a couple’s life that is being each other’s “fiance”. It’s totally different from “just dating”, it’s totally different from “just married”, and...
Are you ready? This is traditionally my largest blog post of the whole entire year! Happy 2020!Wait.I know, I know, it’s mid-February already.

First blog post of 2020! YAY! We shall call 2019 “the year that I decided to grow out my bangs” – talk about a horrible life decision. The questions just roll on – why did I do it? Why didn’t I just cut them? Why did I continue letting them grow out when I so...
This is the 6th year in a row that I’ve answered this exact set of questions looking back at the year that is quickly slipping away & looking forward to the new year that is upon us! 6 years in a row – that’s so crazy to think about! It’s really fun to look back now...
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!
