Photojournalism and Weddings

The both of us wanted real photography. We couldn’t stomach the idea of being posed repeatedly with my dress fanned out in front of me, bouquet propped just so, on a hot day, while our cocktail hour went on in full force without us. We didn’t want to fritter away for hours with various family combinations, taking pictures we knew were important, but that we would hate. Then we met Angela Cappetta. She is the only photographer we met, trained in new york wedding photojournalism who actually PROMISED us a photo itinerary of the day, complete with a shoot script, names, relationships to every person in that shot, and a timeline. She guaranteed that, as long as everyone cooperated, we’d be done with the formal shots in under 45 minutes. She was right. Now that the day has passed, we have an album chocked full of tons of gorgeous candids, and the select family shots that actually mean a lot to us. I am convinced that photo journalism is the best way to go, and that Angela is the best artist to provide it.
