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!

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 I have two additional posts to make from the weekend of August 16th. This is one of them. Our friend Mark, who is also a wedding photographer (Mark Lutz Photography), graciously offered for us and our boys to spend the weekend at his house while we were in his town (Altoona, PA) photographing Meredith and Mike's wedding. His wife Jill, even watched our boys for us while we shot the wedding that Saturday. They were super nice to be so accommodating!
While we were in town, Mark had asked if we would mind taking some family photos for them - it was the least we could do for them since they had opened up their home to us! The photos below are from the "session" - I have some more fun photos from the weekend, but I will put them in another post.
Mark took us to a local state park for their session, and he took us to one of his favorite spots to shoot, which were old huge stone kilns, that were some sort of lime kilns. Mark could probably tell you better. Anyway, we had a lot of fun playing around with them - and we also had a bit of a challenge. We have never had our own kids along on a shoot before, and they were for this one, so it was interesting trying to work, and watch the boys at the same time! A few photos of them were snuck in here below, as they wanted to get some photos taken with Mark's two little guys, Parker and Brady.
As much of a challenge as it was, we did have a ton of fun, we could of spent a couple hours photographing here, but I don't think the kids patience would have lasted!
On the way back to the kilns, we stopped on this fun bridge...

And Haydn, the ever-growing cool kid extraordinaire, wanted to pose for this shot, you certainly can't tell he is a photographer's kid or anything - but what make it particularly funny is that Brady wanted in on the action too, and just happened to point to Haydn's butt. What a shot!

Hanging your kids upside down is good for the blood flow, I suggest trying it. :)
