Head back
No editorial models, or staged wedding moments. I’ve never believed in staging or forcing emotions. Instead, I wait, observe, and let genuine moments reveal themselves. My art lies in preserving the elegance, intimacy, and romance that already exists between two people.
To me, it is an incredible honor to document one of the most meaningful days of your life. My approach is quiet and unobtrusive, allowing me to capture moments so naturally that couples often say, ‘When did you capture that? I didn’t even notice you were there.’ That’s exactly how I hope it feels—your day is about you and the person you’ve chosen forever, while I quietly weave together the details, emotions, and story through the lens of my camera.
It would be my privilege to document the first chapter of your lifelong journey together. I invite you to reach out through my contact page—I’d love to connect with you.

"Before we Met Marlon we had lined up two other photographers to interview, Marlon was our first interview of the evening. After we spoke to him we automatically knew he was the one we wanted to book as our photographer for our wedding. Not only does his work capture beauty and art but also he has an amazing personality, humble and pleasant to work with. His work far exceeded our expectation with excellence and professionalism. My husband and I had such an amazing time doing our downtown urban theme engagement pictures. We are so pleased with our pictures captured during our engagement and wedding, it gives us a nostalgic feeling of wonderful lifelong memories.""

""From the moment my husband and I met Marlon we knew that we wanted him to capture our precious and memorable moments. He is extremely charismatic, friendly, talented, and the love he has for photography truly shows up in his work. Our engagement photos turned out amazing. I would have never thought laying in the middle of the street would look so good! Marlon's creativity is out of this world and not only did our photos turn out gorgeous but they also turned out to be one of a kind. On our wedding day Marlon was so easy to work with, even when things got extremely hectic. Our wedding photos, of course, turned out exceptional and to top it off, during dinner Marlon put together a slide show of the ceremony photos for our guests to immediately enjoy. Overall working with Marlon on our Engagement and Wedding photos was a blast. We could not have asked for a better photographer and would definitely work with him for any future events and refer him to our friends and family!"

"The number one factor was your likeability. You sound like a nice guy on your website. When we met you, Zach thought he and his groomsman would feel comfortable being around you on wedding day. We liked how you worked with us on the test shots. You did not try to sell your service by insulting other photographers. You let your work speak for itself. Your photographs are beautiful and you were recommended by the event coordinator at Hotel Laguna. She works in the wedding industry and she chose you to shoot her wedding. What a recommendation that is! We made the right choice!"
Here are a few of the many of beautiful venues I have had the privilege to photograph at over the last 15 years in southern California and Hawaii.
