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
We photographed Kurstan and Shawn's engagement session in Lancaster with their cute boxers - we are actually kicking off our wedding season this coming Saturday (May 1st) with their wedding at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia! But first things first - their engagement session. Their boxers were super cute, we love photographing dogs! They had just as much fun in this session as Kurstan and Shawn did. Shawn is a bit of a character, as you can see from some of the shots below. :) Boxers, a couple in love, and beautiful Lancaster - what more could you want?

Adria & Alex from NYC to Lancaster! Engagement Session Wednesday, April 28, 2010
Adria and Alex traveled all the way from NYC to Lancaster for their engagement session with us. They decided to make a weekend of it, and stayed in the city at the fabulous, Lancaster ARTS Hotel. They stopped in at First Friday to say Hi to us, then explored the city the rest of the weekend. How fun! We love it when our couples come to check out our great town. Their engagement session was thrown in the mix of their adventures in Lancaster. We started out at the studio chatting for a little while about their wedding, since we had not actually met before that weekend. We all hit it off right away, and proceeded to explore a new area of downtown - we meandered past the convention center and ended up over near Duke Street in some cool alleys we hadn't worked in before...
We called these the "stinky trees" cause they were all in full stinky bloom the weekend these two were in town. The smell was overpowering! Enough to send my spring allergies into overdrive, but they sure made for a great backdrop!

Samantha & Tyler in another downtown Lancaster Engagement Session Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Sam and Tyler are both photographers who are getting married! Yippee! We actually have never had wedding clients that are both photographers, so this is a first for us. Sam was a little shy being on the other side of the camera at first, but Tyler was totally up for anything! We did one of our favorite things, walk around Lancaster - in a different direction of course. We found more great spots to shoot at, and couldn't help but have a wonderful time with these two.
One of the early shots in the session, Sam was still trying to get over a little bit of the camera shyness. Trust me, it's totally different being on the other side of the camera!

We borrowed the barber pole at the corner of Segro's, for a little self portrait with our couple. :)

I think the differences in the brick are really cool in this shot, plus Sam and Tyler were having fun with some nose squooshing.

Downtown Lancaster Engagement Session! Erika & Brian & too many books! Friday, April 23, 2010
Yay for Erika and Brian! Erika lives in Boston and Brian lives in Kentucky, so this was our first time meeting. We really don't like to go into an engagement session without knowing our couples, so we sat down for about an hour first and got to know each other. (Coffee and crepes at Rachel's Cafe & Creperie, mmmmm!). Erika had booked us through email and phone since she is long distance, plus she knows our good friends Brock & Becca. This is one of the best ways to start out an engagement session when you don't know your couple, trust me! It made the session so much more comfortable and relaxing for Erika and Brian! We found out all about these two, and they have such a great story. They met online and started dating long distance. Their proposal story was the best, the short and sweet version was that Brian flew up to Boston to surprise Erika for her birthday last year. He sent her on this long scavenger hunt, (she had no clue that he was waiting for her at the end) - and then surprised her at the end of the hunt by being there, which she said was the best! But then further surprised her by proposing! We clicked right away with these two and I think you can see it in the photos. Oh yeah, the photos! I was having such a good time telling you about the time at Rachels I actually forgot about the session part of it! After the fun at Rachels, we walked around downtown Lancaster, and then ended up at one of my new favorite book stores, Winding Way Books. Erika and Brian love books and actually have them tied into some of the deco for the wedding in July. We had way too good of a time in there!
Oh and just because Joel is such a techie, he wanted me to mention that this is my first time blogging from the iPad! :)

Studio/Office Closed - April 21st-27th Tuesday, April 20, 2010
Hey y'all! We are off to Texas for the next several days to photograph some portrait sessions, so the studio and office will be closed. We will have limited access to email while we are away, so we will try and return inquiries as soon as we can, but may not be able to respond until we return to the office on April 28th. I will probably be blogging a bit while we are away though, so keep your eyes here for some recent engagement sessions!
