The best photographer!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer I cannot recommend Delano more. He is so kind and responsive and really listens to what you want to capture! His talent with the camera is incredible and his eye for detail in those special moments is unmatched. He captures all the intimate moments of your day and I feel like I can relive our wedding day over and over again through his photos, and I can’t wait to print as many of them as I can to fit all around our apartment! Truly the best there is! -

Wonderful photographer!
Delano is such a talented photographer/videographer, and we are so happy with our experience!! We are in love with all the photos and Super 8 video, and will forever treasure those wedding memories! Everything got back so us so quickly, and we also worked with him to put together a beautiful album. On wedding day Delano had a calming presence that allowed us to just focus on the day and not get too overwhelmed about taking pictures. Thank you so much Delano!! -

Jaw dropping photo and video
Delano recently shot both our engagement and our wedding. 5 stars is simply not enough. He is so warm and composed. He makes you feel very comfortable and allows you to be yourself. The photos and video he captured will be my most treasured possessions for the rest of my life. There aren't enough words in the English language to adequately thank or recommend Delano. If you ever have an occasion to photograph, choosing Delano will be the best choice you ever make. THANK YOU! -

Very happy with the process and result
I had the absolute honor of having Delano photograph my wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results! After reviewing countless portfolios, Delano’s work stood out immediately—his artistry and ability to capture genuine emotion set him apart.
From the very first interaction, everything was seamless. Delano responded promptly to my initial email and patiently addressed all my questions with care. He was incredibly flexible, accommodating our specific needs for coverage and customizing the package to include only what we wanted. His clear communication about the planning process and style discussions made the entire experience stress-free.
On the wedding day, Delano arrived punctually and brought a calming presence to what could have been a chaotic morning. Despite the challenges of our getting-ready location—a cramped two-bedroom apartment filled with 25 people—he worked magic, capturing beautiful, intimate moments in less-than-ideal conditions. I’m especially grateful for the precious photos of my elderly grandparents, who traveled all the way from Korea, and of our beloved dog.
The ceremony and reception photos exceeded all my expectations. Our outdoor garden venue, with its stunning fall foliage, was the perfect backdrop, and Delano’s ability to highlight both the natural beauty and the joyful interactions with our guests was remarkable. Every shot feels vibrant, authentic, and full of life.
I feel so fortunate to have had such a wonderful celebration with my family and friends, and I’m deeply grateful to Delano for preserving those cherished moments. Thanks to his incredible talent and dedication, I have photos that I will treasure forever. -

fantastic experience
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! -

Delano is Wonderful!
For my wedding, I wanted our photographer to be professional, friendly, affordable, and able to capture the whimsical vibes of the day. Delano checked every box! He is a master of his craft and even uses a variety of cameras, from digital to film, to get different photo styles. My husband and I are usually pretty awkward in front of a camera, but Delano provided excellent directions and photo examples, so we have very lovely images. We included an engagement session in our photo package and I’m really glad we did! All in all I’m grateful we worked with him, and highly recommend his services! -

Great Experience!
During our time in DC we decided to do our engagement pictures because traveling together is something that we find important in our relationship. Delano did such an amazing job capture the monuments while also getting me and my FH personality. I would recommend hi to any in the DC area!-

Hands down the best photographer!!!
Honestly, look no further and book Delano, he’s hands down the BEST photographer !! You’ll be lucky to have him shoot your wedding or engagement. I have absolutely no regrets while working with him. He was punctual, showed up for 1hr ahead of time to scout, and he made us feel comfortable by working with our awkwardness! I’m so amazed at the results, the photos were breathtaking!! -

Great Photos, Service, and Value!
We really enjoyed using Delano Scott for our engagement session! He was prompt and very easy to work with. He is great at giving little nudges here and there, but overall he lets the couple be their natural selves. He shoots both film and digital and we absolutely loved the result. Timeless, elegant pictures for us to enjoy for many years to come. -

Absolutely Amazing!
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! -

Delano Scott is a very talented photographer and offers a great value for his services! He effectively took candid photos of important parts of my wedding. I appreciated the flexibility of his wedding photo packages as it addressed my personal circumstances. His associate photographer was also very professional and talented! I will cherish my wedding photos for the rest of my life! -

My overall experience was pleasant with Delano. His work is uni like any other photographer I have seen. They’re amazing.
Delano was very nice, professional, and supplied absolutely beautiful photos for our wedding. My only complaint is it was hard for me and my husband to reach him through text during our planning process which made it a little stressful since we were planning our wedding from another state. I would definitely recommend setting up calls. However, I understand the wedding industry is very overwhelmed this year with all the rescheduled weddings from COVID. -

Overall happy with end product, however, we wouldn't recommend
TLDR: Overall, my husband and I were happy with the photos we received from Delano, however, we would not recommend working with him. For a midrange photographer, we found Delano's communication before, during, and after the wedding to be minimal if not non-existent. His composition of bridal portraits, group photos, newlywed portraits, and detail shots were frankly poor and un-imaginative, especially compared to some of his other work I've seen in his portfolio.
For a day that felt so incredibly special and unique to us, we felt that Delano brought the bare minimum and shot the day as if we were just another box to check.
Also, an important note, we didn't hire a videographer and paid Delano for Super 8 footage. His video camera didn't work for our ceremony or cocktail hour, so he only captured our reception. He was prompt in refunding us, however, it's just something to be aware of in case this is your only form of video for the day.
Additional notes:
• Despite pre-planning being written in our contract, we had no planning meetings with Delano to discuss vision or expectations. There were a few emails sent by me to request a second-shooter and to send over a shots list at the recommendation of my planner, however, nothing was ever initiated by Delano and there were no in-depth planning emails or meetings.
• Our venue was new to Delano (ie. he had never shot there before) and it showed. It didn't seem like he had scouted the venue prior and appeared unprepared, with no guidance on where to shoot our bridal party photos or where to find the best light.
• The contract states photos will be delivered within 31 days of the event, however, ours were delivered late (by almost two weeks). This wouldn't have been an issue if he had communicated the delay prior. However, I had to reach out twice on the 31st day only to find out that we wouldn't be receiving the photos.
• Delano's editing lacked an attention to detail. There were several photos from the reception where my bra / underwear were visible. It took me two seconds to remove these with my phone's built-in editor, however, this should have been caught and removed by our photographer.
• Finally, I want to reiterate how disappointed we were with our detail shots, bridesmaid photos, bridal portraits, and newly wed portraits. The detail shots felt incredibly generic with zero curation to our event or the beautiful work of our other vendors. And while any posed photo comes with a certain amount of awkwardness and stiffness, Delano's presence and guidance did nothing to mitigate this and his group composition only seemed to amplify this.
We still believe Delano is a talented photographer, however, we felt that we didn't receive the full extent of his creative ability, which is unfortunate. -
