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 a "Vote for Favorite" 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
Amber and Ben's engagement session we photographed right after Kristen and Doug's. Literally, we drove from Kristen and Doug's straight to meet with Amber and Ben. They were the last of an all day marathon - I think we did 6 sessions that day? They wanted to do some cool urban shots, and also get some photos in front of one of the record stores, since they both had worked at a record store together and love music. We always love walking in a different direction when we leave the studio, so we ended up finding some new location gems to add to our reportoire. I love living in the city, there are so many great spots all you have to do is walk and look. Amber and Ben left it all to us and we came out with some fab shots!

Kristen and Doug's fall vineyard e-session! Monday, January 4, 2010
It's a new year! What better way to start out being back to work than with a blog post? So I know, we were really bad and didn't blog anything while we were out for the holidays, it was just so nice to have some time off! I am sure none of you will hold it against us. We are ready and raring to get all of these sessions up from the end of 2009, so make sure to watch daily. There's a lot a'comin!
Kristen and Doug's engagement session was on one of the beautiful fall days we had in October. These two both love music and wine, so we found a location that would satisfy one of those passions, Nissley Winery in Marietta. The setting was beautiful, and these two were characters! We had a good time joking around, and then they had some fun sampling wine at the end of the session. Kristen said they ended up buying 3 bottles to go home with them after we left!

Yeah we were really laughing it up at this tree. But this ended up being a great series of shots, and with a little Photoshop trickery from Joel, looks like this tree was made for Kristen and Doug! :)

Tasha, Cole, Cade and the huge Bernese Mtn. Dogs! Friday, December 18, 2009
So how fun was this session? Take 2 adorable little boys, a fashionable mom, AND 2 huge Bernese Mountain Dogs, and you end up with one heck of a fun portrait session!! Tasha's mom is an artist that had come in to the studio on a First Friday and fell in love with our work, so she shared it with Tasha. Tasha decided to do a portrait session of her and her boys and their dogs! Tasha has a budding business of her own, with some awesome little products - Tasha's Little Products are adorable and she gave us a pack of her napkin notes as a thank you for the session. Our boys love them and look forward to their "notes" in their lunchbox.
Tasha had asked if we could get some shots of Cole and Cade with the dogs for some notecards that she ordered from us. We willingly obliged and after we had some fun with that, the boys changed and played around with mom. We walked around Lancaster and did some shots at Musser Park near the studio. The coolest was a huge water puddle we found on the way back, which is the last image here at the bottom. We have two shots of this and Tasha got them as canvases for her house! How great is that?

I love this shot, and yes, my lens got a big nose print from this shot. :)

April and Greg and the whole crew, fun at the stables! Thursday, December 17, 2009
We loved this family! April had brought Paige and Lauren in for a Teeny Weeny Wiebs session earlier this year, and she wanted to get some shots of the whole family for her Christmas cards. They loved their photos so much they ended up with 2 different sets of cards, a large print, and a big canvas! We were so happy to be able to give them some decor of themselves for their walls.
The session took place on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in October, and April had wanted to do the shoot at Graystone Manor Stables in Leola, where she has their horse boarded. So we met up with all 7 of them - April, Greg, Paige, Lauren, Austin, Lindsay and Gavin. We played in the fields, strolled along the dirt road, played a game of tag, and climbed in the hay in the barn. We had so many great shots it was hard to choose for blog, but these are some of our absolute favorites. Enjoy!
Paige found a caterpillar on the road, didn't want to touch it, but wanted a closer look. Gavin helped her out. :)

I love this shot of Lindsay - she was a trooper, she was sick that day and still managed to play along and get out a few smiles.
