Distinctly Documentary

Cappetta’s clearly distinct style of new york wedding photojournalism is not for everyone. Trained by great masters of the medium, and widely renowned for her her unique approach to each event, each album she makes for her clients is a testimony to her documentary-style.  The result is an encapsulation of memorable moments that likely went unnoticed: A groom with red lipstick smeared on his cheek feeding cake to his bride, newlyweds chatting up guests with their ring fingers entwined. Cappetta explains that her photographs are products of a long-lasting commitment, one that spans from the first meeting in her Manhattan studio until she emerges with the last perfect print. “I am looking for people I can form a one-year relationship with,” says Cappetta, who balances weddings with advertising and editorial clients. “there is a very strong emphasis on relationships in my work and it starts with my relationship with the couple.” For more of Angela Cappetta’s work, visit www.angelacappetta.com/weddings.
