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
Heidi and Dave are a super cool couple who won one of the free portrait sessions from our grand opening last summer. Even though they have a bunch o kids, they wanted to do a session of just them. I thought that was great! Most parents wouldn't think it was important to have photos of them, they always think of the kids first. Heidi said they have a ton of photos of the kids (Dave likes photography so he takes a lot of the kids himself) so they thought it was time to have some special shots of just them. They were a riot! Heidi brought along this black and white hat, and while she loved it, Dave wasn't that crazy about it. So we did a bunch of shots with and without it. Of course, the shot that they loved the best, that they got enlarged for a canvas in their room, has the hat in it! :)
We did a downtown session with them and took a walk in a new direction, so of course we found some great new spots. We even ended up in a cemetary. :) I always say, downtown Lancaster has soooo much character, I absolutely love living downtown! You can see by all of the great textures and colors we found...

Lovely Sarah's Senior Photos Saturday, January 16, 2010
Joel and I both used to work with Sarah's dad, West at our old job, waaaay back when. We were happy to hear from him when he contacted us for some cool and different senior photos for Sarah. We couldn't wait! We met up with them along the river near Marietta, and away we went. Sarah was super easy to work with, and did whatever we asked. We found a really awesome field, and really awesome light, and got some really awesome photos!

The wonderful Sammie and her mom Thursday, January 14, 2010
Becky wanted to remember Sammie just as she is right now, at the impossible age of 12. So she called us up and asked if we could do some photos of the wonderful Sammie, and then some of the two of them together. We said, "Of course!" We walked downtown and found a nook here and a cranny there. Sammie was wiling to do whatever we asked, and we asked for a lot. :) We had her jumping in puddles, balancing in impossible positions and trying not to make too much fun of her mom. We had the perfect light, you know, that light right at the end of the day that is always so grand? And we took full advantage of it. We even managed to see the moon peaking out at the end of the shoot. :)
Amy (Ella's mommy) is friends with one of our past brides, so when she saw we were having a portrait special, she decided to give us a call. Amy is pregnant with her next child, so she wanted to have some special photos of Ella before the new baby comes. Her, Steve and Ella drove up from Gaithersburg, MD to have a special downtown session. Amy was a little nervous about how Ella would react to us, as she is a more cautious little girl with strangers. But in no time, we were getting the laughs and smiles out of her. Time, patience and fun is all you need! Ella had a blast walking down the sidewalks and playing at the park - we found some new little spots to explore!

Double Trouble w/cousins, Ava & Jake Wednesday, January 13, 2010
Ava and Jake are cousins that like to have a good time! Ava's mom Connie contacted us to have some photos taken of Ava and Jake to give to her mom for Christmas. These two were all over the place as we did their session near the studio. Making faces, laughing, chasing each other - they had not seen each other for awhile previous to this, so they were super eager to play and catch up. Everything was funny and goofy to these two, so we went with the goofiness and still managed to grab a few not so goofy shots for mom. Meagan, Jake's mom, is Connie's sister, so we also did a few shots with the whole crew. Check them out!
