Documentary style wedding photography is all about decisive moments. Although we love stylized beauty, it’s the real moments, the hidden secrets, that make photography resonate. Recording the truest story of any wedding, a private estate on East Hampton, a luncheon after city hall, or a full fledged opus at Tappan Hill Mansion or the Orensanz Foundation, is the goal of documentary style wedding photographer Angela Cappetta.” Candid photographs are lasting things. They hold up to trends.” Cappetta, who still unapologetically shoots film, says. “Film gives you that beautiful, real look. I love processing film. It keeps me curious.”
Angela Cappetta, the penultimate documentary style wedding photographer of the industry, makes work that has a heartbeat. “You have to love it for a lifetime” she continues. “You don’t want your wedding album to be in style for a hot minute, it has to be braver than that.” This post shows off true New York City wedding photography at it’s finest. Even if the wedding lures Angela away from New York, her work still holds true grit, beautifully, no matter where the wedding is.
