CONTENT CREATOR & PHOTOGRAPHER
As roller coaster enthusiasts and YouTube content creators, we travel to A LOT of amusement parks. It’s kind of part of the deal – to continue creating content, we have to go and MAKE it. We’ve gone on a lot of super fun, amazing trips and made a lot of beautiful, core memories as a...
Carowinds sits at literally the perfect halfway point between Orlando, Florida and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, so it is an easy way to break up our drive up or down the East Coast.And in the case of our 2022 vacation – it was how we split up the drive home and was our last stop. We visited...
We knew that after spending 3 (magical, wonderful) days at Walt Disney World, our next amusement park destination would disappoint.And as fun and beautiful as Busch Gardens Tampa is, it (kind of) did.Disney just sets the bar SO INCREDIBLY HIGH when it comes to quality, atmosphere, and guest satisfaction that no other theme park can...
Hollywood Studios was our final Walt Disney World park during our big Florida trip this year (it wasn’t our final park, but our final DISNEY park).It was bittersweet. We were really smart to save Hollywood for last, because by then, we had visited two other Disney parks & had gotten pretty good at working the...

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!
