Our 16th Anniversary

Happy 16th Anniversary

It’s this mile-marker moment in time where we are invited to stop, look back at where we started, contemplate all we’ve been through, and then celebrate the here and now. (Yep, that probably sounds like a Hallmark card, but that’s honestly where I am in...

Our 15th Anniversary

Happy 15th Anniversary

Fifteen seems like a big number.Maybe even bigger and more monumental than ten (and 5 years ago, I though “a decade” was quite the milestone).But this one feels “weightier”, like we’ve actually “accomplished” something. Derrick and I are celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary today.And to say that the last 15 years have been an adventure...

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!
