The Norwin Community Picnic has been a staple event over the course of my entire life. We always looked forward to it every year – and once my Dad became the emcee – well, you can imagine how much more we love this event. (Even though my Mom sits on pins and needles every year...

Another Norwin Community Picnic Day has come & flew by in the blink of an eye – I’ll be honest: I have attended the Norwin Community Picnic at Idlewild Park & Soakzone for probably 26 of my last 29 years (there were a few years I missed because Derrick & I were living in NEPA)....
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!
