Delano is amazing! He photographed our wedding and every single picture we received was beautiful! The style of photography he does is hard to find and he does a great job at capturing the small moments that make your wedding day so special. We also did an engagement shoot with Delano and he was so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable even though we aren’t the picture taking type. For our wedding we didn’t have a specific shot list besides family pictures and Delano captured everything we could have wanted him to. We highly recommend Delano!!

For quality photos, he certainly delivers. Everything he took was amazing and the quality was wonderful. We did get a few blurry and unusable photos in our photo album, but when he sends over 700+, that's totally fine.
The reason for three stars is because of missing pictures. Nothing of the exit or the funny groomsmen photos we requested. Missing these were fine honestly, but mainly what we couldn't over look was we were missing one of the bride, groom, and brides parents. Our list of desired pictures wasn't extensive, but that was definitely on it and was no where to be found. When reaching out to see if we could get any photo of us, even an unedited one, we were ghosted and haven't heard since (been around a month of waiting).
This isn't unusual. We had a few times that we wouldn't hear from him for days, it was kind of confusing how to contact him in the beginning (just text him I guess), and he missed a meeting early on with us. Those we could look over. Missing a photo of the main family isn't really acceptable to us, especially when we had 12+ photos of just the dress. It seems like one of those could have been swapped out.
Tl;DR: photos were pretty good quality, but be warned you might be missing main photos of the family

Hi Samantha,
Thank you so much for your honest review. I absolutely enjoyed working with ...
you both and am glad to hear you loved the quality of the photos.
I sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the missing pictures. Upon realizing a crucial photo with the bride, groom, and bride's parents was missing, I promptly provided it once I was notified of this oversight through another communication channel. It was never my intention to miss capturing any important moments, and I am truly sorry for any stress this may have caused.
It's important to me to learn from every experience and continuously improve. Your feedback has been invaluable in highlighting areas where I can enhance my communication and ensure all special moments are captured and delivered.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding. I'm grateful for your kind words about the photo quality and am here to assist with any further needs or to resolve any remaining concerns.
Warm regards,
Delano

When looking for a photographer, one thing my husband and I agreed on is that we didn't want the pictures to look or feel like a photo shoot. We wanted all the little moments and candid joy captured. Delano's photos were absolutely perfect! He really captured the most amazing moments and the photos have such a timeless and vintage quality to them. During the planning process he was very communicative and provided helpful feedback on the photo timeline. What I loved most is that he was able to capture all the photos in a way that didn't make us feel like we were letting photos dictate the order of the day or the timeline. The fact that he got our gallery to us in less than a month is absolutely crazy and I am obsessed with every single picture. We had a lot of guests with different skin tones and we ourselves are a Black couple and the way that his editing style captures varying skin tones is absolutely stunning. When looking for a photographer it was important for me to see their work on different ethnicities and he willingly shared a full gallery before we signed a contract that displayed his work. Also of the many photographers we looked at, he was one of a few that prominently displayed POC couples on his website. The fact that I didn't have to dig around to get a glimpse of how I could potentially look with his editing style was very important to me. He is 100% worth the money and I can't wait to look at the pictures for years to come.

Even though we were unprepared and did not give Delano a shot list ahead of time, Delano knew the pictures to get and did a wonderful job. We have wonderful black & white shots, lovely color photos, and some really great shots that catch us in movement.

Delano is fantastic! He was so great to work with and was able to get me and my photo-phobic fiance to actually have fun during the shoot. That would be enough, but then we got the photos back and wow, so incredibly beautiful. I was hoping we would like at least one, but we like so many that we can't decide which we like the most! Can't say enough good things. Highly recommend!

The best wedding photographer in the DMV! Delano and his team are the absolute best not only at their art but also in making you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. My husband and I aren't the most comfortable being photographed but Delano made us feel so incredible and natural. The photographs truly capture the joy of the day and all of the love that surrounded us on our wedding day. I found Delano on instagram and I immediately knew we needed him to be our photographer. Throughout all of the normal stresses of wedding planning and all of the COVID stressors as well, Delano checked in with us every step of the way and brought such a calming and reassuring presence to every meeting. He is a true professional and an expert in his field. His photography style is so stunning and each photograph shines with authenticity. These are photographs that we will treasure forever and ever.

Best photographer ever! Delano was willing to work with us to meet our needs and was very flexible. We introduced him to an Ethiopian wedding and he and his co-shooter were a great addition to the amazing day we had! I couldn’t have picked a better photographer for the quality and the investment. Highly recommend!

Worked with Delano for a bridesmaid photo shoot and it was AWESOME! Delano is very professional, he was on time and a pleasure to work with. He helped us with poses when we weren’t to sure what to do and we had a lot of fun throughout the process. One thing that really impressed me were all of Delano’s gadgets for the photo shoot. He has equipment to find the best lighting and more. It was truly a great experience and I definitely recommend Delano! I cannot wait to see how the photos come out; I know they will be great! I’ll do an update review when I get the pictures. So excited!

We LOVE our photos! We worked with Delano, who was super friendly and made us feel very comfortable. He captured all of the important moments that day, and we love the photos he took. He managed to photograph almost all of our guests at the reception, so it's been really fun to share those photos with friends and family. Would definitely recommend Delano Scott Photography!
