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
We first took some photos of Layla about 2 years ago. Crystal, her mom and John, her dad wanted to get some photos of her this past fall with Boo Boo. So who's Boo Boo? Boo Boo is a beautiful horse that Layla has been riding for over a year. He belongs to Crystal's friend Jen. Well Boo Boo is moving to Michigan soon, so Crystal really wanted to remember the time Layla spent with him.
Crystal and John's house was a perfect setting for some horse photos. They live on a small farm and had a huge barn and lots of fields to tromp through. Layla was playing hard to get at first, and although I know she loves us and Boo Boo, she was having a hard time warming up. No worries, we are super patient, and waited until she was ready. Crystal really wanted a shot of Layla walking Boo Boo on the lead, so she was bargaining with Layla to get her to do it. If you have ever been a parent, and you want your kids to cooperate for anything, you know exactly what I mean. Well Layla was being funny and at one point, Crystal was going to get up on the horse to show Layla that it wasn't scary. Crystal was having some hesitations herself, and Layla, seeing this, said to her (in her most grown up voice),
"Mommy, if your good, I'll buy you a Twilight book." :)
We all thought this was hilarious and Layla laughed and laughed. Hey, if I was a good mommy for riding on a horse, I would want a Twilight book too. :) So we finally coaxed Layla into getting on the horse and got some fun shots. We did a few family photos (Layla now has a little bro Logan!) and enjoyed the late day sun. It was a gorgeous day, gorgeous setting and what a gorgeous family!

We had finally gotten Layla to look and of course, poor little Logan is wailing his head off! Crystal loved the photo anyway, she said that's what he does sometimes!

Isn't this the bestest shot ever? Yeah, Joel took it. I am definitely not tall enough to shoot between a horse's ears. :)
