CONTENT CREATOR & PHOTOGRAPHER
There is one last wedding that I photographed in 2020 that I haven’t blogged about yet – and this one has two really great stories attached to it! Okay, so first off: this is a wedding that I second-shot for my sweet friend Jess of Jessica Fike Photography down at Deep Creek Lake, MD. It’s...
It isn’t very often that I have the liberty (& invitation) to second shoot a wedding – my calendar is typically pretty full with my own weddings, time with my family, and weekends spent traveling to ride new roller coasters!

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!
