Do you like to have fun? We do, especially with our photos. We wanted something a little different than the average blog out there, so along with our super talented Blog designer we came up with a Favorites section - or "Wiebner Faves" as we like to call it. What is it you ask? more »
Well, under each photo, you will see an "I Like This" box. If you really like that image, if it tickles your fancy, or makes you laugh, or just plain old makes you smile - go ahead - check it. We know you want to. Each time that box is clicked on a photo, it adds to the running tally for that image. The top 14 favorite images on the entire blog will be shown as thumbnails in this section. Just so you can see the most popular images of all time on the blog. A little something out of the ordinary - it never hurts to be different!
Also, blog posts can be favorites. Now that we have comments available, you will see a little bar meter at the bottom left of each post. Once the meter hits a certain number of comments, its automatically promoted to a "Wiebner Fave Post". :) Something else just for fun!
Are you ready to advance your business? Education in our industry is important to us. The more photographers that are aware in the industry the better it is for everyone. Won't you join us in making our goals a reality? We participate in various workshops, seminars and speaking engagements. Listed below are various engagements - some are our own workshops, others we will be hosting or speaking at. If you wish to participate, please drop us a line or click the link to find out more info!
I find it incredibly difficult to write about us when put on "The Spot". "I need a 500 word bio about you and Joel, now!" Who can do that? How do you make your own personality shine in a few words, let alone that of two people? Well, I am going to give it my best shot. If you really want to know about US - who we really are - read the blog below. We really try to keep it updated as often as possible, and hope that our fun, casual personalities shine through in the words you read and the images we capture for our clients. The blog below is our way of communicating our lives - both personal and professional - with clients, friends, family and colleagues. We believe strongly in using words and images together to communicate our passion.
I am going to keep this short and sweet - Joel and I were meant to be together - to live, love and be happy making photographs. We were both photographers before we met over 9 years ago - we met behind a camera, and continue to feed off of that energy. We are a rock solid husband and wife team and we wouldn't want it any other way - we work together 24/7 and never tire of each other. We have had our business since November 2000, and have thrived on photographing weddings as our main photography genre since 2002. We love what we do. We like to think we look at the world in our own way - not photojournalistically, not traditionally, not artistically. Just as a Wiebner. If you like what we see, then you will like us too. Oh and don't forget to comment in the blog on our two little darlings - Haydn and Zane - they are pretty darn cute little Wiebners. Enjoy! - Rita
Woooeee! We loved us some of Tanya and Justin's wedding on May 6th. It was a perfect day, and Tanya and Justin were SO nice and happy and FUN to work with! This wedding just oozed personality, from Tanya and Justin AND all of their guests! I don't think there was a dull moment all day. Not from the time we got ready at the Marriott at Penn Square, to the before ceremony portraits at Steinman Park at the Pressroom, to the ceremony at Nevin Chapel at F&M, to the traipsing around doing photos in downtown Lancaster, to the end of the reception at the Lancaster Quilt & Textile Museum! So much good stuff going on. I really can't put it all into words, so I am going to let the photos speak for themselves. Enjoy! :)

Luckily I had Michelle Rene in the house helping out with getting ready and setting up some stuff to photograph. It was a madhouse in that getting ready room! :)

After the guys were picked up, Tanya had a few moments to make a scene with her "man" in the park. :)

Oh wait, wait! Here is the BEST part of the day! The transportation was a little screwy (isn't it always??) and we ended up having to drive Tanya and Justin from the F&M campus one block to the rusty bride we wanted to photograph at. Luckily they are good peeps, and laughed about the whole thing. The Wiebner Wagon saved the day!

Lauren & Kevin's Wedding, with a visit to Captain Gus! Tuesday, May 8, 2012
Lauren and Kevin had a late day Friday wedding back on April 20th. The weather was great, perfect for the sunset setting we had for photos after the ceremony. The ceremony was held at St. Luke's UCC in Lancaster, and then the reception was at Mulberry Art Studios. In traditional Wiebner fashion, we had some fun between the ceremony and reception. :) The church was just a block away from Captain Gus' Steak Shop, so we just HAD to go there for some photos. Lauren and Kevin got a photo taken with Gus, grabbed some Cokes, and we took off to find a swingset. That's all we needed. We decided on Buchanan Park, and played around on the swings there, before heading over to Mulberry. Lauren and Kevin totally knew how to let loose and have a great time!
At the reception, they had a great candy buffet set up, with antique gumball and candy machines, it was definite a unique touch to the candy buffet! Oh, and Lauren made the wedding cake - herself! It was pretty...um...sweet. :) Dinner, dancing, fun with a photo guestbook and more rounded out the day. Congratulations on a wonderful day guys!

Jessica & Justin - A Springy Downtown Lancaster Engagement Session Thursday, April 19, 2012
Jessica & Justin came into town on Saturday from West Chester to meet with us about their wedding next May. They also wanted to have some engagement photos taken while they were in town to meet with us, so we meandered around downtown Lancaster. I am always surprised at how many people do not know about our great downtown. Lancaster isn't just for Amish people! We love our thriving downtown area and try to show it off as much as we can. Jess and Justin were pleasantly surprised at all of the cool stuff we had to offer.
Spring is especially such a lovely time here, as there are so many beautiful trees in bloom. Jess had wanted to get some of that great spring look in her photos, as well as some cool textures and backgrounds. We know where all of the great spots are for that! The great thing about doing a session on the weekend, is that we can use a lot of the parking lots, alleys and office type buildings for shots because there aren't any peeps around to get in our way. Jess and Justin were easygoing and relaxed and open to anything we were willing to do. We even had them sit on a totally uncomfortable guardrail at the library and they did it without complaining. :)
We hope we get to work with you guys at your wedding next year! You were both so much fun!

Bonnie & Andrew - aLoft in New Jersey Monday, April 16, 2012
March 24th we headed to Mount Laurel, New Jersey area for Bonnie and Andrew's wedding at aLoft. It was a super cold, windy March day, but most of the day was spent in the cozy modern hotel. There was a pretty slick courtyard area that we used for some outside photos, but the interior was just as slick, and a lot warmer.
Joel worked with Bonnie a few years ago on several commercial shoots, so when she found out she was going to get married she got in contact with us right away. We always love working with repeat customers! Bonnie has a great eye for design and loves a nice modern look. She made many of the decor items herself! I blogged several of them below. Love the colors too!
The day was full of special touches and surprises - a photobooth for the guests, a slideshow of various photos from Andrew and Bonnie's lives, special parent dances that included ALL fathers/daughters and mothers/sons, Star Wars music for Andrew and ending the night with some Dirty Dancing! We hope you guys had the "Time of YOUR Life" that night! ;)
One of our all-time favorite little girls is back, and this time, she's seven! Layla had here seventh birthday in March, so to celebrate, her mommy wanted a photo session all about her. She had a very awesome and fancy outfit to wear (two outfits actually, it was dress up day!) - and we decided to do a downtown session since they had never done downtown before for photos. OF COURSE we picked the windiest day in March, and had wanted to get some photos on the walking bridge near our house, but that was a major fail, so we went downtown for most of the session. We were gonna do splitsies, but it just didn't work out. Poor Layla was almost blown away! (You can see it in that first shot.)
She's so cute, serious, and spunky all at the same time, and we know that's what her mommy loves about her! I think we captured her many different sides so well. Enjoy! :)
