Had the opportunity to work with Orlando this past Sunday. Let me first say, this will be a 2 part review. I felt it important to at least get the initial one out there before my schedule causes me to forget. Orlando is everything every single one of the previous reviews says he is. A true professional, and an individual that understands customer service. I think Orlando can be comfortable with any personality and he has the cool, calm, patient demeanor to handle any situation. I spent countless hours looking for someone I felt experienced enough but not burned out, to handle the list of photographs I wanted done, exhausting my entire social media contact list and all referrals. Multiple bad experiences over the years have made me reluctant to hire a photographer to do what (I felt) my Samsung, some filters, and Walgeen's could do with far less expense and a greater potential for satisfaction in the end result. From his choice of a very convenient outdoor location, down to the poses and configurations, he took in to consideration the list of shots I wanted and ran with it, adding his own flair and experience to mix. We had to deal with a very crowded public shooting location, several "deposits" from the local wildlife, and some of the wildlife wanting to be a part of the shoot. Through all of that, he remained efficient and on task, working with the ever changing conditions. I'm not easily impressed as I am a D.I.Y. type person and in most situations, I end up feeling like I could have done a better job myself. That was not the case with Orlando. He made me feel at ease and gave me the rare feeling of value for the money spent. Thank you Orlando. You have earned a customer for life. Anyone out there with reservations about photographers need not worry here. You will not be disappointed with the decision to use Orlando Dalisay Photography. Part 2 coming soon once the photos are chosen and printed. 6/22/18 *** Update as promised. The pictures are just as amazing as the service. Quality paper, nicely cut and smooth edges. We did a combination shoot for family pictures in addition to senior pictures and promotion pictures. We needed the senior pics back quickly for our senior to distribute to friends before school ended. He made it happen!!!!! We then ordered a batch of photos for our own family. They were amazing. We made an order for extended family. Now, we are on the 4th order, this one being a large canvas. Really looking forward to seeing the final result on that. Orlando has been so easy to work with and flexible with all of our requests. I couldn't refer a better person to work with if I tried. 5 plus star transaction from start to finish. read more

My girlfriend and I were looking for a photographer for our family pictures. Asking friends, Orlando came highly recommended. I messaged Orlando, and he was very quick in responding back. We set up a time and date and Orlando asked if we had any idea of a location to take the photos. I was unsure and he suggested Lands End in San Francisco. When we arrived, it was overcast and a little foggy but Orlando reassured us that it was the perfect environment to get great shots. We then headed to the Cypress Tress where he got some candid shots of my girlfriend and I along with our son. We did our poses for the actual pictures then did an outfit change. We walked down towards a little cave close to the edge of the area and took more candid's and more photos. All in all, it was a pleasure working with Orlando. He is very professional, and knows his trade. We received our proofs a week later and all I can say is WOW!!! They all came out amazing. Thank you Orlando! read more

My husband and I hired Orlando for our August 2012 wedding. He was professional, honest, creative, and easy to work with. He got to know our personalities and style through constant communication. He even helped me with my wedding planning by referring a make up artist and day-of coordinators, when my originals fell through! The engagement shoot in San Francisco was a blast! He and his team helped calm our wedding day nerves by making it fun, cracking jokes, and just getting the job done so we can enjoy our party! For a couple that HATES taking pictures, even so, showing pictures of ourselves, we were very proud to show off our wedding pictures to anyone that would look! Our pictures still make us emotional, and will continue to do so. Thanks for being part of our day, Orlando! read more

My fiance and I decided very last minute that we wanted to take family/engagement photos with a professional so I did some research and found Orlando through Groupon. With our wedding about a month away, I contacted Orlando on July 2 via email and was able to make an appointment for a photoshoot with him for July 12. Not only was he able to fit us into his schedule with such short notice, he was also willing to mix up the shoot with some engagement photos of my fiance and I and some family photos with our toddler. We received digital copies of our photos less than a week later and they were AMAZING! He responded to my emails very quickly, was very accommodating and understanding with our timeline, and made the process very very quick and easy for us. We will definitely be contacting him again for all of our family photoshoots in the future. read more

I was referred to Orlando by a friend of mine. It just so happened they were in Vegas when we were in vegas. We were blessed to have pictures taken at Citycenter. Orlando and Glenda were very creative and always kept a eye out for eye catching backdrops. Even if we didn't have a background Orlando made it work. Prices were cheap! I am a customer for life. We just took our engagement pics, and we can't wait for our wedding pics. I highly recommend!!! read more

I've known Orlando and his family for the longest time. So when I got married in 2018, it was obvious to have Orlando as our photographer. He's very caring, organized, detail orientated, and is very flexible. He is very open to ideas and will deliver to capture every moment. read more

We went with Orlando for our July 2014 wedding in Pleasanton and absolutely loved our experience with him! He was so easy to talk to and share ideas with. Luckily we got referred to him from a coworker so the wedding photographer hunt was fast and pain-free. It's very easy to communicate with him via email or phone and he's almost always in the Bay Area for one client or another. He was so open to all of our fun and creative ideas and contributed some really awesome ones himself so that was great. From the engagement shoot in Napa to the wedding itself, he made all the picture taking and posing fun and effortless. Not only did we forget they were there, Orlando accommodated some fun, impromptu family photo ideas during the reception. Having our wedding album put together was one of the best experiences though as he put everything together for us and we edited as we saw fit. I love that he shows us his creativity and all the ideas we totally would not have thought of then lets us put our personal touches on it. He's very efficient and detail oriented and focuses on making our wedding story shine through. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who's worth every penny! read more

We are currently working with Orlando Dalisay and my fiancé and I are more than happy with our photographer. We just finished up our engagement photos and not only was he flexible but really engaged us throughout our photo session. During our engagement session he really catered to our needs and even used some of his creativity. The photo session went smoothly and we are very excited to have Orlando apart of our wedding team. September 2, 2015: Orlando just did our wedding and EVERYONE couldn't stop commenting on the same day edit video. The photos were amazing and breath taking. Orlando and his crew (Lux) were so easy going and quick! I'm so excited to see all the proofs (3 weeks!). We're so happy that we chose Orlando. You will not be disappointed! read more

Orlando did our destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas. I'm glad he worked with us to do our photography because he did an excellent job. It was quite a trip, and the ceremony and reception topped it all off. We're glad Orlando captured all the magical moments. He pieced together a beautiful Italian Album, and every dollar spent was well worth it. We only wish we had more to spend to include more of the great images he took. In addition, family members from both sides enjoyed his company. He is courteous, professional, and delivers on his promises. We've received numerous compliments on his work. This review is long overdue. Orlando, thanks for your patience with this. I'm glad we were able to have someone from the Bay do our photography. You can count on us anytime for a referral.

I'm grateful to have worked with a very professional photographer!!

Orlando and his crew are popular in the Bay Area! He has been referred from one family to another because of his great work. He's easy to work with, professional, and family oriented which makes any type of photoshoot incredibly FUN!! Looking forward to working with you again soon! read more

My lady solicited Orlando's services for our engagement shoot and we all met at my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym on a Saturday afternoon. Orlando was punctual and accommodating as we had to reschedule a couple times due to my crazy schedule. Great dialogue always provides solutions. We got started right away and had brought a lost of poses we wanted to entertain. To our joy Orlando provided insight into some positions and the end quality was absolutely gorgeous! I can not speak highly enough of the photos we received and this is, no doubt, a product of many years behind the lens. A black belt in his craft, Orlando was very personable and professional. Check out his Instagram page for an idea of his work and my wife and I will also post some here on Yelp for you to get a feel for his vision. We highly recommend his services and will be using them in for both our family and work based functions in the future. Thank you so much Orlando for the fantastic pics! read more

Orlando is AMAZING!!! We decided to do a pregnancy announcement photo session & my husband remembered that his previous business associate, Orlando, was a photographer so we reached out to him. He is creative, fun & so passionate about what he does! Orlando was really patient with our boys too. We are a couple that loves to have a good time & we needed to make sure that our photographer had that same vibe while expressing that in the photos- Orlando was a perfect fit. He helped capture precious moments & we will have memories to cherish forever! Thanks, Orlando. Sorry again for being late :) read more

My wife and I discovered Orlando here on Yelp while searching for a photographer to shoot our engagement photos. After researching a number of different photographers, Orlando's work stood out to us and we knew we wanted to hire him. We ended up hiring Orlando to shoot our engagement photos and wedding. Both turned out better than we could have imagined. We received numerous compliments on both our wedding and engagements photos. Orlando is able to capture moments in creative ways that not many photographers can. He was open to all the ideas we had for our photos, while coming up with great ideas himself. Orlando's work speaks for itself, but he was also a pleasure to work with. He was always extremely responsive, professional, friendly, and fun to work with. We cannot say enough good things about Orlando. Do yourself a favor and hire him for your next event. You will not regret it. read more

Orlando is an amazing photographer! He lives in Elk Grove but drove to SF to take our engagement pictures. He was so calm and friendly and we instantly hit if off. He had a bunch of great ideas for our photos. I would definitely recommend him in the future! read more

Orlando is so professional and easy to work with. I will definitely hire him again if we need a photographer. We hired him to take pictures of some of our large products that have been a challenge to photograph in the past. They're metal, so they reflect anything and everything around them. They're large and cumbersome, and any pictures we took never did them justice. Enter Orlando! We now have professional pictures that we can proudly display in our marketing materials. Thank You! And special thanks for working with us in a safe and efficient manner during the COVID pandemic! Highly recommend! read more

Orlando & his Partner/Wife were great!!! They did our family photos. When we need them again. I will be calling him.

I absolutely love Orlando's work. I wanted some family portraits and was referred to him by a friend and I ended up booking Orlando for another family portraits a few months later. I'm also booking him for a few more events I have coming up. I love how Orlando was very accomodating to everything I asked for and his eye for photography is amazing. My boys were both very comfortable with Orlando and Orlando was very patient with the 16 months old baby. I highly recommend Orlando to anyone looking for a photographer for any event. read more

What can i say??? His work shows it all!! Highly recommended to anyone wanting creative, beautiful, professional, (you name it) kinda pictures!! You will not regret it!! We LOVE our pictures!!! Thanks Orlando!! read more

Orlando was born to be a photographer! His style looks like it's right out of a magazine; he made us look like a high fashion models! My fiance and I were not pros at taking photos and having Orlando's direction was really helpful and his eye was apparent when we got the photos back. He is really patient and nice and is cool to have around. It's like you're having your friend take your pictures so there is no pressure and we felt very comfortable. We are indebted to Orlando as he captured one of the most special moments in our life on film and on video: our engagement. The video he edited looked like it should be on TV and it gives us a tear every single time we watch it. Amazing work! Thank you so much!! read more

Thank you thank you Orlando and Glenda! Our pictures turned out great! And to make it even better you guys really took your time with us to get everything right. From the locations and even the timing of the waves you made sure everything was picture perfect! Glenda and Orlando took our maternity pictures and pictures of our newborn when she was 2 weeks old. We will definitely be using you guys again! read more

I enthusiastically recommend Orlando Dalisay Photography to anyone looking for a wedding/event photographer. We were looking at over a half a dozen different photographers before we booked them but what impressed me most was his willingness to come to us for the initial meeting, his flexibility in tailoring a package to fit our needs, and natural talent and enjoyment in photography. Very patient, professional, and creative. We were also extremely impressed with his engagement shoot, his working closely with us in the coming months/weeks before the wedding, his same day slideshow, and his ability to work with the DJ/MC, videographer, and other wedding vendors to make our wedding a success. You can tell that he takes pride in his work and it shows. Great job Orlando and thanks again for making our wedding so memorable! read more

I highly recommend Orlando Dalisay Photography to assist you in capturing life's precious events! I booked him for my 2011 wedding and have no regrets. He is personable and listens to needs of his clients. Throughout my planning process he responded to my emails/phone calls in a timely manner. He was one vendor I did NOT have to worry about. Our photographs turned out beautiful. They were creative, unique and high quality. Choosing him to photograph your event is like having your best buddy there. My husband and I laughed and joked around with them through the whole process (engagement session & wedding). Working with this photographer is a seamless process and a good time! read more

Orlando did a wonderful job on our Sacramento wedding. We wanted to have a photographer capture moments, especially the unforgettable. He did just that and even created some! He made us look really good! It was our memorable day, our milestone, and now we can relive it - and all its little details - with our photos. Not only did his pictures add to the nostalgia and emotion of the day, but especially did his same day slideshow. Our guests were able to view the wedding day's highlights as soon as during the reception! I would describe his team as experts - calm, creative, relaxed, friendly, and unobtrusive during the day. Awesome photography - thank you! read more

My fiance and I are not photogenic people and we are not fond of taking pictures. Orlando made our engagement session a breeze with ease. It was a very fun experience with Orlando and we are super happy with our results. Qualities we loved about Orlando: 1. Very flexible and very nice ( I had to reschedule 3 times!). 2. Very professional and easy going. 3. Extremely creative. 4. A very fun and good humor guy. read more

After a disappointing experience with our wedding photos, I was pretty nervous about choosing another photographer for our maternity photos. I found Orlando's yelp page with all five-star reviews and decided to give it a shot. They weren't lying! Orlando was professional, easy to chat with during the session, and the pictures turned out great! Right away, I knew that I would be much happier with these photos. He was artistic and could utilize the lighting of the sunset and blurring effects to make the pictures turn out beautiful. I have already recommended him to my friends! read more

We asked Orlando to be our photographer 14 months ago. He was actually our first and only choice. On the first day, he insisted on selling himself to us even though we were set on him. He is very professional, so friendly, and just an awesome guy to be around. Lex worked with him from the first day and they are an awesome duo. We signed up for a save the date video, engagement pictures, wedding day pictures, picture album, and same-day edit slideshow. Lando and Lex blew us all away with their talent and creativity. Wonderful work and amazing people! Thank you, thank you for everything! read more

Excellent experience with Orlando, I had to retake my weeding pictures +maternity pictures . He was very patient with us and professional, helped us with all our ideas. Very easy to communicate with him through phone or email. He send me extra pictures for no additional cost. The pictures were very beautiful and lovely, i would definitely work with him again for future events. Thank you Orlando read more

Great photographer. Personable. Professional. He did our wedding and it was smooth. You hardly knew he was there. Orlando also did our engagement shots. Orlando's wife Glenda is a doll. She was very thoughtful and always checked to see if we were okay and she made sure relatives and people were coordinated for the pictures. I cant wait for another occasion for him to shoot it. read more

First off, let me begin by saying HOLY MOLY his artistic skills with a camera are incredible. Not only is he a great photographer, his attitude and demeanor are absolutely awesome. I modeled for him and his photographer buddies and he made me feel so comfortable where it made me feel like I had been modeling for years and years! I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting or needing photographs. Thanks Orlando for my amazing experience and hopefully more to come! read more

Orlando is an amazing photographer!! He did my daughter's senior portraits in Old Sacramento and the pictures turned out beautifully!

You will not be disappointed read more

Orlando did such an amazing job with our wedding photos. Most were captured with a sense of story telling that brings tears and smiles in our hearts.

He's a very honest, patient and professional guy! Easy to work with. 10/10! read more
