Marlon Richardson Studio bio picture

The Journey

Photography has always been an important part of my life.  My early professional career centered mainly around fine art, design, ad creative direction.  During this time, I was fortunate enough to travel all over the world while working with well regarded agencies.  

These experiences have shaped my creative narratives and compositions to reflect sweeping angles, complex framing, and detailed expressions.  My wedding photography approach is a mixture of pure photojournalism, modern design, and crisp details.

Jeremy & Tamara

I had the wonderful opportunity to do the engagement photography for my cousin Jeremy.  He found his perfect match in Tamara and on Feb. 20, 2010 they will husband and wife.

Olena and John

I really enjoyed my first meeting with Olena and her hubby to be John.  We spoke for less than an hour to iron out any questions or lingering details.  We even discussed a fun engagement shoot done 60’s style with John’s 67 camaro and vintage clothing.  See some of my favorite shots from our meeting.
