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.

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
So we grabbed a bunch of photographer couples (both husband and wife are photographers) and got them all together for dinner on the last night of the convention at PF Chang's - and what fun did we have! There were 8 couples there, not everyone could make it that we had invited, since a lot were flying home that evening - we were ecstatic at the turnout we had, and some of our favorite people were there. Next year we will have to do something much bigger! We all laughed, ate and made merry - and it was a night to not be forgotten! Joel and I even got to stand up and give a little speech to everyone to thank them for coming - we really just love socializing with other couples that share the same passion as us. It was one of the best nights we had in Vegas - I can't wait until next year!
Oh no, not these two again! Eric and Brooke

One shot to rule them all! This should almost have its own post - after dinner we got the crazy idea to take a group shot of everyone at dinner - what's so crazy about that you ask? Well Joel and I are infamous for our hold-out-the-arm pix (as we call them, otherwise known as self-portraits!) - so we wanted to see if it was possible to squeeze everyone in the photo, while Joel held the camera with his LONG arm and got everyone in! As you can see - we succeeded! 16 people in the shot, and you can see everyone!!! Go Joel, go Joel, go Joel! - Oh and this was done with a tiny Canon point and shoot!

If you want to know what us crazy people are up to with this shot - you are going to have to check out Nate and Jaclyn's blog. Nate had this crazy idea - what you can't do with a point and shoot and a $20 video light...
