Joel Wiebner
PHOTOGRAPHER, OWNER
I am a dedicated wedding photographer based in Central Pennsylvania, bringing my own unique blend of creativity and insight to everything I photograph. My goal is to uncover what makes you and your wedding distinct.
My style is a vibrant and creative expression of my personal view of the world. I aim to connect with and share the beauty of genuine emotions. My approach centers on capturing the vibrant, authentic feelings that make your wedding day unforgettable and uniquely yours.
You can expect me to be present throughout the day, patiently observing and ready to capture moments as they unfold. I will integrate seamlessly into your celebration, creating images that are as warm and genuine as the love you’re celebrating.
Imagine looking back at your wedding album years from now—not just recalling the faces of your closest friends and family, but also reliving the moments that made your day special. Each moment tells a story, and each story helps keep the memories of your day alive.
Reach out so that we can talk about what makes your day special and how I can help bring my viewpoint to your event.

Joel Wiebner
Photographer, owner
Based in Pennsylvania, traveling wherever your story takes you With over 23 years of experience and more than 400 weddings behind me, I bring a calm, steady presence to a day that can move fast. I know how to blend in quietly when needed and step up when the moment calls for it. You won’t need to think about the photos. I’ve got it covered. My work is documentary in style, focused on honest moments and natural connection. I don’t do stiff poses or trendy filters. Just real images that reflect how your day actually felt. Whether you’re getting married in a backyard, a ballroom, or somewhere in between, I’ll meet you there. If you care more about meaning than perfection and want photos that hold up over time, we’ll probably get along just fine. Let’s make something that lasts.

Joel is so incredibly talented! He captured our wedding in exactly the unique, artistic and meaningful detail way we wanted. From candids to traditional to never missing those moments you hope someone got a shot of, he got it all. Laughter, tears, shared looks, and creative shots are all there. We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding pictures. Guests and wedding party members all commented on how comfortable he made them and how much fun he was to work with. We could not possibly recommend him more!

Joel’s candid style was the first thing I was in search of for a wedding photographer, but he quickly proved to be an amazing choice in many ways! He is focused and detail oriented. He managed to simultaneously blend into the fabric of the wedding and bring enough personality to the job that we considered him an honorary member of our wedding party. We were thrilled with the photos, and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!
