CONTENT CREATOR & PHOTOGRAPHER
So, I cannot lie – receiving the email from Two Bright Lights saying that I had been awarded the 2018 Editors’ Choice Award was mind-blowing to me. I was so incredibly surprised and to be honest: I wasn’t even sure what the award was (how’s that for some honesty?)! Two Bright Lights is the avenue...
WOW you guys – this never ceases to amaze, humble, and let’s be honest, excite me! This is the 4th year in a row I’ve received this award from Wedding Wire & every year I’m absolutely floored! THANK YOU, so much & from the bottom of my heart, for all of your kind words & sweet reviews...

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!
