I’m not sure if you remember this, but once upon a time, I used to write out detailed seasonal “lists” – which I called “bucket lists”. They were simply things that I wanted to accomplish as each season arrived. Most of the time I included a mix of basic “to-do’s” & family things & items...
If you’ve followed my blog for a length of time, you’ll remember that in the past, I had created very specific bucket lists for myself & our family with each new season. But it’s been a while since I’ve done that! In fact, it’s been over a year since I created any seasonal bucket lists!...

Fall Wedding Inspiration in Irwin, PA What is the worst thing you can think of happening at a wedding? A vendor not showing up? Guests getting lost? The bride’s dress not fitting or tearing?

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!
