This past Saturday, Casey & Andrew finally got married.

Casey & Andrew met...
“Kara Abbey deserves way more than 5 stars. From the first email with her, I immediately felt so comfortable with her. Her personality is so warm and inviting, you can’t help but be drawn to her and her positive energy. When our big day arrived, Kara was such a pro. She captured the absolute beauty...
If you’ve been reading along with the most recent engagement & wedding blogs I’ve written – nine times out of ten they all begin the same way: and Tiffany & Steve are no exception. Tiffany & Steve met 2 years ago on a dating app.As they started texting back & forth, they were simply blown...
When Josh & Alisa got engaged in August of 2016 and began to plan their wedding, they joked with each other that St. Patrick’s Day would be the perfect day to get married. If you can’t tell from the red hair: Alisa is Irish & was actually born in Ireland! What started as a joke...
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!
