About

Welcome to Marlon Moments

Marlon Balajadia is a solo Event Photographer from the Bay Area, CA.

My style of photography could be described as journalistic fashioned story telling. I pride myself on being keen on reading energy from others. With understanding energy in mind, I am able to make you feel as comfortable as possible with me, and together, we can create beautiful candids of all the moments in between. I treat every job the same and will go above and beyond for anyone. Connect with me and allow me to capture the moments that matter!

Wedding June. 2025

Marlon was amazing! His personality put me right at ease, he has such a great calming presence. His attention to detail is wonderful and he has the ability to read the room. He knew when I was stressed or unsure of what to do and would guide and help me. I highly recommend him. I am so thankful he was present at the wedding. It is so wonderful to find someone that you trust on this emotional day! Many of my guests commented on how personable he was!
Marlon was the best!!

Amazing!!!

Love Love Love working with such an amazing person. Marlon was easily the best experience with a photographer I have had ever! Marlon is super friendly , funny, knowledgeable, patient, personable, easy going and very professional. He made us felt very comfortable and was very understanding when are party ran a little behind our scheduled time. We really enjoyed our experience. I was so pleased with my session and definitely loved our finishing photos. Thank you Marlon, we will definitely consider you for any photograph needs in the future.

Maternity shoot

Our session with Marlon was so worth it. He was so professional, creative,l with his wor space, and did what needed to be done to get the shots, which says a lot about a photographer. He also had so much vision for posing and angles. He helped bring our vision for our maternity shoot to life and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. They are so beautiful! No lie. Book the man! Thank you Marlon and we look forward to many more shoots with you.

Seriously In Love

I couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Marlon to capture our day. Marlon photographed our Monterey, CA wedding in May 2022. This was a postponed wedding and he worked with us for literally over 2 years all in anticipation for this day. I will always be very grateful for that. I am so, so over the moon with our wedding photos and our friends and family also love them! He captured the essence of the day perfectly and I was smiling ear to ear while viewing them. The editing was very clean, soft, & dreamy which I love. I seriously cannot stop going back to the wedding album and viewing some photos at every chance I get! LOL! I just love the way they make me feel! Thank you, Marlon! I will cherish these moments for a lifetime!

Amazing, honest and candid Pictures, A work of Art.

One o f the best things we did for our wedding day was to have Marlon Balajadia there to capture every moment. Five stars don't even do it justice. Marlon doesn't just take photographs, he creates beautiful works of art, and to be a part of his art is an absolute honor. Not only is his work stunning, but he is just such a lovely person all around. He has a fun, exciting, upbeat mentality that makes the day even more special. I would highly recommend him!
Here is one quote from one of my friends after looking at my pics "such beautiful pictures! They look like they would be in a bridal magazine."
Because of COVID, our wedding ceremony was very intimate, literally only the officiant, and us (Bride & Groom) and, of course, Marlon, our photographer. We cannot express just how grateful we are to have had him as a part of our day. He graciously accepted to be our witness. We love you, Marlon! Thank you for everything!
