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
Brooke and Nick! Woohoo! We have been dying to get this one up on the blog for the last couple of weeks, but we have been so slammed we are sorely behind on blogging - so I must apologize. Thanks so much to Brooke and Nick for being so patient while we went through all of their awesomely cool and wonderful images to get the best ones below! Their wedding on September 20th was not to be forgotten.
So what does blue and green equal? Well, Brooke and Nick's fabulous day of course! Brooke had some pretty unforgettable details - all in blue and green. Brooke is one of the designers at Two Paper Dolls, and there were soooo many amazing paper details throughout the day - we were on detail overload! Of course the colors were a soft spot for us, as they are our own branding colors. :)
It was a whirlwhind of a day! Getting ready at the Desmond Hotel, the first sight at a park near the Desmond, off to the ceremony at a church in West Chester, some rad portraits at an old section of the West Chester railroad, a short pit stop at a cute little antique shop, and then back to the Desmond for the reception! Whew! I could go on and on about all of the faulousness of the day, but I think the photos below explain it all!
Joel caught some great shots of Nick and the guys getting ready.

Brooke was smiling from ear to ear as she got ready, I knew she had been anticipating this for so long! She has been planning for quite some time now - and luckily she had some great help from a wonderful wedding planner - Jenn Poletti from Perfect Planners - that's Jenn there helping Brooke secure her veil.

How totally rad are these socks? Nick and all of his guys had them on - I think they said they went to like 4 different Macy's stores to buy them all. That's a lot of socks!

At the old train yard, we found some interesting things to work with. This old van was out behind some of the rail cars, I couldn't help myself, I had to do this shot. It just spoke to me!

Oh yeah! The photobooth! Brooke and Nick had your good old fashioned black and white photobooth - it was a huge hit. And for you photographers out there that know anything about photo labs, this was a photobooth that actually had the chemistry inside it! It was it's own minilab! The nice man that was running the booth, gave us a little personal tour inside it, it was really cool!
Here two of Brooke's bridesmaids were making some faces for the camera in the booth...

Some of the guests were admiring the assembled photo strips - Brooke also had customized strips for people to put their photos on and take home as a favor from the evening. What a great favor? Who doesn't like taking home photos? Especially photobooth photos? :)
