Do you remember what the weather was like on January 21, 2017?(I’d bet my last buttons the answer is ‘no’ – most people can’t remember what the weather was like yesterday, let alone on a specific day 8 years ago!) You might take an “educated” guess and say: “Since it was the end of January,...
We got a BIG snow storm this week! It was bigger than the initial snow we got to kick off the year, but still not as big as we were hoping. (Why do they always predict more snow than we ever get?)Sunday night going into Monday, we got a total of about 6-7″ of snow...
Hey guess what? It finally snowed!!Typically, we get some snow in December (although rarely at Christmas), and last year (meaning, 2020) was no exception. In fact, we got multiple snow-storms leading up to Christmas 2020 (evidenced by all of the photos popping up on our Echo from “one year ago”).But this winter? No snow. In...

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!
