From the moment we met with Onada we instantly felt at ease about our wedding and for good reason...Onada delivered the most gorgeous wedding photos we have ever seen. And she did so with great professionalism. Her laid back style was greatly appreciated from everyone involved with the wedding. And her ability to stay calm and collected as she gave direction to our extra large family (number wise, not size) is now legendary. Onada answered emails within 24 hours and her contract and fees were transparent. Her fees were at the high end of our budget, but for the quality she provided we were happy to book with her.

We have nothing but great things to say about Onada Photography. We discussed our must-take shots before the wedding. We also stressed that we wanted more candid rather than posed photos. Onada delivered on both accounts. She gave us clear direction and made us feel comfortable on the day of the wedding. The photos that she produced were beautiful and we have received many compliments on them. She has a way of catching you at your best and of catching the light in beautiful ways. She does not simply take the typical canned, cliched wedding photos. I loved her work so much that I subsequently hired her to do my professional headshots.

I would highly recommend Onada for wedding photos! Onada was so accomodating and fun to work with. She took the posed photographs quickly, but the results were amazing. She truely has an artistic eye...and captured literally every moment of the day from me putting on my makeup and dress, to the final dance of the evening. She never stopped! She caught some really great candids, and her use of the camera is amazing. If you want a photographer who is down to earth, talented, and a GREAT price, use Onada.

Having Onada photograph our wedding was the best decision we ever made. The entire day she was very professional and made us feel so comfortable to be in front of a camera. The photos turned out amazing, and we're happier each time we look at them. She was able to catch moments at our wedding we didn't get to appreciate, but now we'll have them forever. We hope we can have the pleasure of working with her again some day.Emad + Janene

Onada Photography is absolutely wonderful. Our engagement and wedding photos are everything we wished for and more because of Bola's unbelievable talent! We will never forget how beautiful the day was and we have her to thank! Thank you!!

Bola was amazing to work with. She's down-to-earth and made two very camera shy people feel comfortable in front of the camera :) Our wedding photos are so beautiful - she totally captured our emotion and personalities.

Bola really made our overall wedding experience wonderful! We didn’t feel like we were really getting married until we had our engagement session. She made us feel very comfortable. We didn’t know what to expect- but Bola walked us through everything. As we walked through Palmer Square in Princeton (our engagement site) she posed us, told us where to stand, when to smile, kiss etc. but of course sometimes we’d just feel it or get caught up and be all lovey dovey and she’d catch that too. It’s like asking someone to capture your love ~ and she did : ) Our wedding day was no different expect that the engagement session acts as a “get to know you” period so by the time your wedding comes around it’s like seeing an old friend : ) Bola again made me feel great. She showed up right on time (and she also had a second photographer taking pics of my groom and groomsmen at their place). We didn’t have her booked through the end of our wedding (I think we did an 8 hour package) so she was leaving an hour before it was over but no problem. We took faux exit pics and they looked great! Her service is excellent and she’s priced appropriately. Our package included our engagement session, cd of all our pics (engagement and wedding – she allows you rights too/permission!), album, and a large print of a pic of our choice (I think). We still have to do our album but I plan on getting to that by Oct. WE'RE HAPPY and THANKS ONADA PHOTOGRAPHY!

Bola was wonderful, in so many ways. Both the engagement session and wedding pictures came out great. The engagement session is not just a neat idea in itself, but it was a great way for me and my husband to get comfortable with how Bola photographs. Our wedding was a little over two weeks ago, and we already have all of our pictures back! My one suggestion for future brides is to make a list of the specific pictures you would like to have taken on the day of the wedding. I forgot to make the list, and in the excitement of the day, I forgot what I really wanted. Luckily, the pictures turned out great, and the pictures I wanted would have just been extras. I did remember most the photos I wanted on the day of, which was a relief, but doing the list would just make it easier for both you and Bola.

Onada photography did an absolutely fantastic job with my wedding. I don't usually give 5's across the board (I'm pretty stingy) , but the photographer, Bola, excelled in everything. I decided to have her photograph my wedding based on the photos on her website, which my very picky web-designer/art school graduate fiance (now husband) and I thought were beautiful and classy, with a unique flare. We are so happy we went with her. Our pictures are just as wonderful as the ones on the website (better, because they contain our family and friends!). The colors and composition are great, and on top of that, somehow she got everyone to smile, even in large group pictures of 30! I have some non-photogenic family members who have probably never had such good pictures taken of themselves! The pictures of my husband and I are intimate and sweet, and really capture the special day for us. Bola and her assistant were extremely unobtrusive and Bola called me a couple of times before the wedding to make sure that she knew which pictures we wanted. As a result, the group pictures moved quickly and we didn't have to spend hours taking pictures, and instead could get down to the celebrating. The pricing was extremely reasonable, and there's no tricky stuff after the wedding - you get a CD with your pictures on it and you and your family and friends can buy pictures through a website on the internet at pretty reasonable prices. I can't imagine things going more smoothly than they did with Onada photography, and I now have a few hundred truly stunning photographs of the most wonderful day of my life!

Bola is wonderful! She is very professional and prompt, yet laid back and fun. She captured many special moments throughout the day that I didn't even remember. Her pictures speak for her, she does beautiful work and her prices are affordable.

When looking for a photographer, I knew I wanted someone who was able to catch those special moments as they were happening, as opposed to having to recreate them. I wanted more of a photojournalistic style, and thats exactly what we got. I absolutely LOVE our photos! Included in our package was an engagement session where we were able to choose a location for the shoot. My emails with any questions I had were returned and answered within a day. I would recommend for a bride to have a list of all shots she wants to get after the ceremony. My husband's family is very large (divorces,remarriages), so it was somewhat difficult to think on the spot of the combos we wanted. I would highly recommend Onada Photography for your wedding. You will not be dissapointed!

We were on a strict budget for our early July wedding. So, we went on craig's list to see what was out there. At first we were very hesitant, just like anyone who has used craig's list for such an important event. However, we were not disappointed. Since the moment we met Bola we knew she was going to do such an awesome job!We absolutely would recommend Bola to anyone! She was amazing! We were so happy with the pictures and her creativity behind each and every one. She made us feel comfortable and made the experience fun as well as stress free. It was not surprising that everyone we showed the pictures to fell in love with them, they speak for themselves. Thank you Bola! Stephanie & Jared Delaney

I could not be more thrilled with Bola's work on our wedding and engagement photos. Her work is exquisite! She was highly professional and open to discussing the types of pictures we were interested in. Bola and Katherine (her assistant) work well together and know just how to capture the right angles and emotions. I have referred a couple friends who were recently engaged, and I hope to work with her in the future for other life event pics ;-) Bola was also quick to respond to every email or phone call (absolutely within 24 hours - sometimes within minutes!) and I appreciated her flexibility on our wedding day. On a whim we decided to take pictures on the top of the mountain - and Katherine and Bola were right on board! And, I must say...they turned out beautifully. To cap it all off, her rates are more than reasonable, and I was impressed that she was able to work within my budget. Together we created a plan for my specific budget. She has been wonderful to work with, and I still can't get over the beautiful pictures she captured on our wedding day. Check out her website at www.onadaphotography.net!

Onada is absolutely fantastic! I am thrilled with my pictures! Her talent is indescribable. The photos were above and beyond my expectations. When I looked at my slideshow, I felt like I relived that perfect day. Everyone I've showed the slideshow to comments on how talented a photographer she is. I could go on and on, but there are not enough words to describe how truly pleased I am with her work.

Bola was an extreme pleaseure to work with. She has one of the most bubbly personalities we have ever incountered in a person. Bola worked with our budget and was an all out sweet heart.

Bola's pictures are amazing and she captures you even when your not posing. A++++++Thanks so much,Mr. and Mrs. Eli and Kameshia Smith

Bola from Onada Photography was absolutely wonderful. She photographed our engagement sesion as well as our wedding. The pictures we recieved from both were absolutely stunning. She really knows how to capture a moment. I'd recommend her to anyone. Her photography is worth much more than she charges for it and she really has a natural talent.
