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 got another fun package today! Yeah, like I said, the Wiebs like goodies in the mail. ;)
Michelle, one of our wonderful brides from last year was kind enough to send us a copy of the Ventura County Star from this past Sunday. So, we've been mentioned/quoted in yet another articel about the Trash the Dress excitement. This time they ran a big beautiful shot of ours from Jen and Mike's Post Wedding Session last summer. it's always nice to see your images in print :)
Thanks again Michelle, and your surprise is on it's way if you haven't recieved it already!
The article also featured images by Krystal and Matt Radlinski, Ginger Hendrix...
Goodies make the Wiebs happy. When we were in Tampa a few weeks ago we met a very cool couple of North Dakotian's. Is North Dakotian's a word? Shawna and Kory make up Shawna Noel Photography. Hopefully the little tidbits of photography biz know how that we imparted balance out the goodies they sent us. All of the goodies had to do with North Dakota in some way or other, so we thought we'd share the fun stuff they sent.
Fargo, Mac and Cheese, Spaghetti, Chippers, ice, and a shovel (of course this is a little joke regarding our Traveling Shovel)
Fargo, awesome movie! We don't own this and it's been years since we've seen it, so we are pumped to watch it (as soon as we have down time).
Chippers? Hmmmmm....
We "tested" the Chippers on Zane. He's like the Mikey of our family. Zane will eat anything. Well...
"Here Zane, have a piece of chocolate...
...WITH POTATO CHIPS IN IT...
...HE LIKES IT!"
We just want to thank you guys for the awesome gifts. They are much appreciated and they will all go to good use. Some just faster than others. :)

Ashley & Nate - Engagement Tuesday, January 29, 2008
Why don't we do more winter e-sessions? It's not for a lack of color. I guess it's the cold weather. Nah, not in Pennsylvania. I mean, when was the last time it even got below 0? Well, Ashley and Nate asked for it. They wanted a winter e-session and •gasp• a sunset/night time shoot! No problem. In fact that's when all of the color comes out in Lancaster. We had beautiful light and a pretty hip couple to catch it.
We took a little walk around Lancaster with Ashley and Nate starting at our gallery on Arch St. Laughter was not a problem between these two. We walked, talked, made up words, and had a pretty darn good time. Take a look at the pics and tell us what you think.

This shot cracks me up, because it's serious-ish but you can tell Ashley is about to bust up laughing at Nate. Have you noticed Nate kinda sports a Dane Cook resemblance?

For some reason this shot reminds me of "City of Angels", that movie with Nick Cage. Yeah, total chick flick, but I dug it.

Rita and I both had a different plan for this pizza shop stoop. Can you guess which one Rita shot and which one I did?

Who hasn't felt like this before? This shot reminds me of dating. It's like that last kiss of the night before you have to go home. Just a warm nostalgic feeling.

Nate got 7U all over his jacket in this shot, aw it was a mess. Ashley was smart enough to stand next to 7T.

Interviewed and Published - The Ventura County Star Monday, January 28, 2008
Last weekend we received a phone call from a reporter at the Ventura County Star, in California. He was writing an article on the Trash the Dress phenomenon, and was hoping to interview us. Joel gladly gave him an interview and just yesterday, in the Sunday edition, the article ran in the paper. Joel was quoted along with the above photo from Jen and Mike's post wedding session, was published in the online article. Of course we don't live in Ventura, so we didn't actually get to see the printed paper - if there is any blog followers out there that have access to this paper and can get us one, we would -
1. Love you forever. :)
2. Give you a cool thank you gift. :)
We are thrilled to be published once again, and are glad to see the continuing success of artistic wedding photographers around the globe. Check out the THE WIEBNERS in the Ventura County Star!
Oh and before I forget, our good friends over at Trash the Dress (see the link above!) - have a brand spankin new site! It's yummy and full of new images so be sure to check it out!

Help the environment and clean out your mailbox Thursday, January 24, 2008
Are you tired of unwanted catalogs in the mail? Do you receive just too many? I know I do and I am always tired of wasting all of that paper. Every time we go away on a trip, I return home to a foot high stack of mail, and 75% of it is junk mail. I was just watching Today on NBC, and luckily I tuned in just in time to see a great feature. They were featuring the web site -
What a great idea! If you want to stop receiving all of those catalogs in the mail, all you have to do is create a simple account with you name, address and email - and choose the catalogs you no longer want to receive. It's so simple! Really, who has time to make phone calls to all of those companies to cancel the catalogs? I know I don't - and I am looking forward to taking advantage of this site - and help save some trees!
