Engagement Session ~ Mahlet + John

Onada — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 02:34:53 +0000

Mahlet and John are getting married in a few short weeks and so I thought I’d post their engagement session before their wedding takes place :) We shot this session downtown Philly, in Old City. It was a prefect warm day and the Cherry Blossom/ Magnolia Blossom trees were in full bloom. The fun part was that a lot of their session took place only a few blocks from my new soon to be home in the city!

Mahlet and John are such a down to earth and easy going couple, I absolutely loved shooting their engagement session and getting to know them.

Congratulations to you guys and I can’t wait till your wedding – It will be beautiful!

John did a perfect job of making Mahlet laugh -

This has been one of the most fun sessions I’ve done this year! Emily and Ben are getting married this October and decided to turn their engagement session in a fun family session. Emily will be gaining 3 fabulous new step kids come October and they couldn’t be more excited.

Photographing them was so much fun! The session took place around the famous Philadelphia Museum of Art and the weather was gorgeous.

Meet Christina and David – The sweetest couple ever! We had some really great conversation going on during our session and it was great getting to know them. They are both recent college grads and will be getting married next fall. For their engagement session we walked around Boat House Row, Downtown Philadelphia, a Sunday last month and just had a great time!

I’m looking forward to your wedding next year guys – Congratulations on your engagement!!

Wedding: Faith + Joel

Onada — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:43:16 +0000

I’ve come up for air with another blog post : )

Below are a few of my favorite images from the June wedding of Faith and Joel. The wedding took place at St. Andrew, The Apostle Catholic Church in Gibbsboro NJ and the reception followed at Lucien’s Manor in Berlin NJ. Faith and Joel are originally from the Philippines and so Joel and his groomsmen wore traditional shirts for the wedding. It was definately lots of fun to photograph.

I wish you both all the happiness that married life brings. Congratulations guys!

Published! Gen + Rob in Comtemporary Bride NJ Magazine

Onada — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:13:40 +0000

Gen and Rob’s wedding is featured in the July edition of Contemporary Bride Magazine! - a great resource for choosing wedding vendors and locations for your special day. Their wedding took place this January at Bridgewater Manor, NJ and Gen was a complete DIY bride with absolutely gorgeous details. She emailed me a couple weeks ago to let me know her wedding photos could possibly be featured in the magazine and I was so excited – the issue is now officially on newsstands, though I haven’t been able to pick one up yet but I will soon!

Wedding: Carolyn + Culann – My favs

Onada — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:45:33 +0000

Wedding season is in full effect and I’ve been super busy but I finally have another wedding post – wooo hooo!

Here are some of my favorite images from Carolyn and Culann’s wedding which I photographed in May. Their wedding took place at Smithville Mansion in Smithville Park, NJ (such a gorgeous location).

I did a mini trash the dress session there earlier in the year and got a bit familiar with the grounds. The mansion just re-opened to the public and started taking weddings again recently after a 5 year hiatus and Carolyn’s and Cullan’s was actually the first wedding to take place there after they re-opened!

Although their wedding took place outdoors and not in the mansion, it is an amazing place to visit and I got a chance to walk through it briefly – definately check it out if you are in the South Jersey area.

I’ll be blogging again soon, thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone had a fab 4th of July weekend!

Engagement Session: Shelby + Kevin

Onada — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 15:23:49 +0000

Meet Shelby and Kevin! They graduated this past May from Eastern University (where we shot this session) and will be getting married next month. The Eastern University college campus is such a beautiful location and made for some amazing pictures. It’s located on 92-acres with three lakes, wooded walking trails and wetlands. It previously belonged to a rich entrepreneur back in the day(late 1800′s early 1900′s) and he lived there with his family (I haven’t been able to find out who though).

After the wedding, Shelby and Kevin will be moving to Boston where Kevin will be attending Seminary School. Congratulations guys and I’m looking forward to your wedding!

Below are my favorite images from their session -
