PRESERVING timeless moments in Washington, dc
& Beyond
AN EFFORTLESS WEDDING EXPERIENCE
Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime collection of moments—the quiet, undetectable glances and the high-energy celebrations. As your Washington DC wedding photographer, my priority is ensuring you are fully present to soak it all in. You deserve a creative partner you can trust with your most intimate day; someone who doesn't just "take photos," but translates your unique love and vision into a gallery of emotive, timeless imagery.
From our first conversation to your final dance, I am in your corner with a positive spirit and a shared enthusiasm for your story. My journey began in a high-school darkroom and led me to serve as an Air Force photojournalist and beyond. That background taught me to stay quietly observant, anticipating the "decisive moment" before it even happens. You deserve an elevated experience—one that is genuine, personal, and seamless, leaving you feeling cared for and your vision flawlessly executed.
Shooting a combination of digital and film mediums, your photos feel both luxurious and soulful. And with a blend of vibrant, true-to-life color and timeless, polished black and white edits, you’re able to relive your day just how it felt in the moment.
YOU DESERVE
Your photos should feel exactly how love feels: effortless, elegant, and candid. As a documentary wedding photographer in Washington DC, I specialize in capturing the raw energy and joy of your day. My approach blurs the lines between honest, candid moments and a sophisticated editorial flair, ensuring every image is a meaningful piece of art.
Whether you are looking for a Washington DC wedding photographer to capture grand portraits at Union Station, a luxury gathering at Perry Belmont House, or intimate vows at the St. Regis Hotel, I adapt my approach to highlight what matters most to you.
A Timeless Blend: I combine the soulful feel of film photography with a modern eye, using both analog and digital tools to bring out rich tones and authentic emotion.
Narrative Details: From the delicate texture of your florals to the quiet, shared glances, I ensure every detail is preserved by an experienced documentary wedding photographer.
Artful Backdrops: If you are planning an engagement session, I often recommend the National Gallery of Art or the National Portrait Gallery for a timeless, architectural look that reflects the character of our capital.
Though I am proud to call the District home, I am always excited to travel for destination celebrations. If you value genuine storytelling and a relaxed, supportive experience, I would love to be your documentary wedding photographer. Let’s connect and bring your vision to life.

KIND WORDS
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.
""Hands down the best photographer!!!""

The wedding photos and video are so incredibly beautiful. We had an absolutely incredible time and seeing it captured through your lens makes my heart explode. I've said it before and I'll say it again, your talent is incredible. Your ability to capture moments in time is magical. I could not be more obsessed with these if I tried.

Delano Scott is an incredible photographer and we absolutely loved working with him for our wedding. He has an incredible eye for detail and captured such unique and beautiful photos of our day. We also loved the use of film! Delano is extremely professional and made the whole day feel more relaxed. He put us at ease, which made all of our photos look natural and comfortable, rather than staged or forced.
