CONTENT CREATOR & PHOTOGRAPHER
It’s been a while since we’ve visited the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium! Long enough, that Leander did not know what we were talking about when we said: “Let’s go to the zoo!” Needless to say: now he 110% knows what the zoo is and he talks about seeing the elephants and lions and snakes...

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!
