CONTENT CREATOR & PHOTOGRAPHER
It has been 13 very very long years since I last set foot on Walt Disney World property.After working as a cast member (part of the Disney College Program) for 8 months and being in the parks just about every single day, I never dreamed that I would leave and not return for THIRTEEN years....
For every vacation we’ve gone on, I’ve written a blog post about our trip (see a few of those posts here, here, & here). I am a photographer, so obviously I take hundreds of photos while we are away & coming home to edit & share those photos is just a part of my DNA....
Derrick & I have been planning a Florida trip for 2 years.We originally said that we were going to go to Florida in the spring of 2020 – and well, you can connect the dots as to what happened & why we didn’t go.So, as spring 2021 rolled around, we kind of looked at each...
Vacation is such a deliciously, deceivingly short, delightful time. For the last few years, we have taken time off around Labor Day & this year was no exception. I’m just, not even sure how it’s over already! This year, for our family vacation, our options were limited. With me being pregnant, that automatically ruled out...

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!
