Editorial Wedding Photography in Washington DC
My journey into editorial wedding photography in Washington DC began over a decade ago, sparked by a simple roll of film in my high school darkroom. Since then, I’ve honed my craft in diverse environments—from personal projects to my tenure as an award-winning Air Force photojournalist. These experiences have shaped my style: rooted in authenticity, warmth, and a keen sense of narrative. I’ve learned to observe quietly, anticipate moments before they happen, and weave together visual stories that feel honest and reflective of each couple’s unique relationship.

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.
