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!

[…] Harry & Liz have one of the most goosebump-inducing stories I have ever heard. From how they met, to how they fell in love, to the crazy circumstances that surrounded Harry getting that elusive diamond ring & proposing – it’s really a story that should not be missed! After I photographed their fabulous winter wedding this past January, I wrote out the entire story (it was just too good not to tell!) – so, do yourself a favor & sit down to read (or re-read) it here!
