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...
The week Rob proposed was the busiest week of the year at Meagan’s job – which is probably why a proposal was the last thing she expected. It’s a week of conferences, deadlines, & tons of work and by Wednesday night, Meagan was beat. She was supposed to go out with a few friends that...

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!
