CONTENT CREATOR & PHOTOGRAPHER
Colleen & Phillip met a little over a year ago, where so many millennials meet each other: online.

If you’ve ever been around a “flock” of little kids (a “gaggle”? a “crowd”? a “herd”?) you’ve more than likely paired up the two cutest ones in your imagination: Wouldn’t it be adorable if one day little Johnny & little Susie ended up marrying each other? 3 and 4-year-olds are just so cute so naturally (until they’re pulling...

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!
