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 mentioned earlier that we didn't get to do too much in San Antonio while we were there - we did have a bout a day and a half to ourselves, the rest of the time we were working. Downtown was packed with Fiesta activities and crowds, so we stayed away from all of that. We don't mind doing that stuff with our kids, but it really isn't our thing when we are alone. Joel and I would rather meander through antique stores (which we did, and antiquing is also VERY different in Texas!), or find something out of the way to photograph. We had been thinking of driving up to Austin to photograph the Cathedral of Junk, but then we heard that they were either tearing it down, or reconstructing (due to code violations) - so we decided to scrap that idea and head for the Missions. The San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is a mouthful to say, but well worth spending the day at. :)
We started out at Mission Concepcion, which was my favorite, because of all of the original artwork inside. It just FELT old. I like old stuff. We have always loved old buildings, warehouses, etc. - the textures and colors are always just amazing to me. The skies were a little cloudy while we were at this Mission (it had thunderstormed pretty bad the day before) but then opened up during the course of our time there to reveal beautiful blue skies with perfectly puffy while clouds.
We proceeded to tour around Mission San Jose, Mission Espada, and Mission San Juan. Each was very different, and all of them are still active Catholic parishes. The history was fascinating.
The images below we printed as fine art prints and hung in our gallery for May's 1st Friday. If you are in the area anytime in the next week, stop in and take a look! The show only be up through May 26th. Oh, and by the way - all of the images below were taken by yours truly :) Joel was playing with his Diana that day, and hasn't had a chance to process the images yet. :)
First shot here is of Mission Concepcion.
