It was a wonderful experience to work with Angela. We liked Angela's work to begin with, but the level of professionalism and warmth Angela brought into the work was simply beyond our expectations. Angela is highly communicative and collaborative, and captured the true essence of the event and personalities involved. Very happy to have worked with Angela! We already hired Angela again and looking forward to it! Alison and Arghya read more

Working with Angela was nothing short of magical, from start to finish. If you want someone to help you with absolutely everything, and I mean everything, Angela is your person. From finding the perfect beauty team, to styling tips, to just being an awesome person who put me at complete ease prior to the shoot. I cannot recommend Angela enough. The way Angela was able to navigate busy Washington Square Park on a Saturday morning and still manage to make me feel like the most beautiful and special bride there ever was, was beyond impressive. Managing 6 people, and being able to create such beautiful images. The whole experience was and will always be so precious to me. If you want a truly memorable experience with an amazing human who obviously cares about what they do, and has an amazing team working with them, I highly recommend Angela. You will not regret it. read more

Angela is magical! I have never felt more at ease being photographed. From my wedding dress fittings to the day of, beginning to end Angela was marvelous to work with. I felt comfortable - so did my wedding guests! The process was amazing. I am absolutely in love with the photos and in awe with how natural they are sprinkled with honestly and humor. Looking at my photos made me relive my wedding day in a way that far outweighs any video recording could achieve. The expertise, care and attention to detail begins immediately. My wedding planning occurred during the height of COVID-19 restrictions. I could only bring one other person to my wedding dress fittings and will never regret my decision asking Angela if she could photograph the sessions. Everyone at the boutique asked me if she was family thats how personal and generous her presence is . When I saw the photos from my first fitting and shared them with my mom I knew I made the right choice. The narrative from the fitting is priceless and made me feel like I wasn't getting married during COVID-19. The wedding dress fitting and getting dressed with my brides maids was my favorite part - it felt like Angela was one of us. I could go on and on however the photos speak volumes. I do highly recommend her and am thrilled with the beauty I can look at to remind me of my special day. read more

I absolutely love this woman. Fantastic artist, and true quality production. Has an eye for most things that other photographers would easily miss. I recently acquired two larger B&W pieces from her collection and must say the experience was seamless- from selection, to packing and transport- Angela delivered! Love my pieces and cannot wait to frame them up to decorate my space! read more

Amazing photographer! Extremely professional and easy to work with. Angela came to do a professional shoot at my office, and made everyone comfortable and ready for their close ups read more

Angela Cappetta - Event Photography Near Me

This review is LONNNNNG overdue. Angela has been photographing my family for over 10 years now, & for good reason. Her warmth, personality, ability to put you at ease, humor & laughter-filled sessions make it impossible to trust anyone else with something as intimate as a family photo session or as important as a wedding- both of which we've done with her. Add in the pure FACT that her photos are stunning & truly captured by an artist's eye. Her style tells a story without embellishment, yet captures the joy of each moment artistically. My family will be using Angela for the years to come, as she is not only an amazing photographer, but has now become a great friend as well, & in tune to each family member's personality & quirks. Can't wait for you all to meet her, find out for yourselves, & rave about her as I do! read more

As someone who isn't used to being photographed, Angela did an absolutely incredible job of not only helping me feel comfortable, but also beautiful. I'm pretty self conscious about pictures being taken, but you wouldn't have known at all by looking at the pictures. Her energy is warm, fun, and brought out the best in me. I'm a very happy client, and can't wait to book with her again. read more

If you're looking for timeless wedding photography that will stand out from the rest, look no further! We are so happy with the photos that Angela took. Her unique style of candid photography matched our funky little wedding perfectly. Each photo was so special and one-of-a-kind, so we weren't overwhelmed with thousands of the same staged photos. I swear each photo is perfect! We couldn't be more pleased with our choice of photographer. read more

Angela photographed my wedding on October 25, 2013. She was absolutely wonderful, extremely helpful, and completely professional. She gave direction where it was required, but stood back and let life happen much of the time. She got pictures of our wedding that I can't recall actually ever seeing her taking. She was like a photographic ninja. The pictures really are beautiful. They definitely captured the vibe of our evening; of our joy and of the amazing venue we utilized. When I look through our pictures, it's like I'm re-living that night, in all it's whirlwind glory. She truly "got" all the beauty of the space and the love of our friends and family and was able to provide it to us, in tangible form. I can't recommend Angela enough. Seriously, what an amazing woman to work with. read more

I had a private shoot with Angela for my wedding dress fitting at Monique Lhuillier's NY store. She is incredibly attentive and extremely experienced. Angela's charming demeanor made me feel comfortable and relaxed during the entirety of the shoot and the photos turned out absolutely AMAZING. In the end, her work is so much better than I could have ever imagined. She's super creative, professional and is genuinely a wonderful woman to work with. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a photographer in the tai-state area! Photos to come post-wedding reception. ;) read more

I found this fabulous lady last minute (2 weeks before the event) and she made it happen. As a nonprofit, my group works all on volunteer time and I was frazzled and overwhelmed and she blissfully, professionally, was frank about her end of things, up front, fast and responsive, from start to finish, and I never had to worry she'd do her job well or right or have to chase her down. She was EASIER to work with than our major NYC Times Square venue and its "professional" event staff -- and she saved me one less headache for one item on my punch list to throw a big event that everyone loved . She took some great shots! I truly appreciate her. She made it so easy to work with her and THAT my friends is the secret to a true professional! Well done and THANK YOU SO MUCH! PS: I won't say what organization we are, but we were having a "sex-positive" event and I chose Angela because she had an edgy style that showed as a photographer she'd be open and less "traditional" (or mainstream) aka, she'd be a photographer who could "get" our vibe and not be freaked out by our own edgy event (which was really ironically not that edgy, but the content was "sensual" in nature :). But if you have a non-traditional event -- know that this is a photographer who can handle it! read more

I had a private lesson with Angela about business, it was amazing. She's very intense about her work ethic, and is extremely experienced. This intensity is exactly what a student needs in order to learn and feel inspired to do the same. Angela also spoke from her heart and personal experience, which is something I admire about educators, it makes me truly know I'm talking to a real person. She's a charming and charismatic woman, I would highly recommend her as both an educator, but also as a fellow artist. read more

As a digital communications guy who sometimes takes photos for work, I signed up for a portfolio review session she offered. If anyone is looking for candid critique, constructive criticism, and useful advice in both how to take better shots and properly organise them in a portfolio...go see Angela. Her photography style is personal, documentary, and authentic. Visit her site and see for yourself. We met in a quiet lounge with just her, another student, and a computer. What I really liked is how she got to know us in terms of what subjects we're interested in, and where we thought we'd like to improve. Then she advised us on additional shots to take and as a potential inspiration, showed us other professionals' work online that specialise in that subject. She stressed though that it's our personal style we should focus on developing, not anyone else's look. Secondly, I liked how she instantly pointed out the great things about a shot of yours. Only afterward would she say IF and HOW it could be improved, before quickly moving on to the rest of your work. She'd ask about technical details so she could advise on slight adjustments when in similar circumstances again. Even if you really like your work, I believe an objective portfolio review will really help you improve how to take better shots you'll like, and which ones to show. read more

Angela's a total pro and so much fun. She has an artistic eye and a can-do attitude. I recommend her for any photography project.

Angela is an amazing photographer. Artistic and unique feel for subject and place. She photographed our wedding and our family photo shoot as well. If you want timeless photographs of your event with a caring and attentive professional, she really is the best. Couldn't recommend her more highly! read more

Angela has a great eye for her subjects and really captures the spirit of whatever she is photographing. Her work is distinctive and memorable. She's also a genuinely kind and creative person, and lots of fun to work with. read more

Angela Cappetta shot our friend's wedding and we loved her so much we booked her for our own. Booking Angela was the best decision! I did a lot of the wedding on a budget but I definitely wanted to splurge on the photographs. Even though I was ready to "splurge" when I spoke to Angela she was very accommodating with my budget. The quality of Angela's work is truly amazing. She shoots only in film and develops the pics herself, which is so much more work and more impressive than just shooting digital like 98% of the wedding photographers out there. She really knows how to capture the action, and each picture really does tell a story. If you are looking for a photographer that will capture the fun, love, and excitement of your wedding day then choose Angela. If you only want standard posed pics then she should not be your choice. But if you do book her you will not be disappointed. read more

My husband and I decided to have a small wedding at city hall recently, and wanted to keep our budget to a minimum. That was kinda the whole point of doing it at city hall. We had been searching for a photographer and Angela's work really caught our eye. There is something about her photos that make you connect with the subject, and the documentary/journalistic style is exactly what we wanted. We wanted to "document" the event. Angela also has a really great, outgoing, fun personality that made everyone (all 8 ppl she met for the first time) feel super comfortable. They didn't even know she was there, and the pictures show that. The last thing we wanted was for people to look frozen or uncomfortable in the photos. Needless to say, the photos came out beautifully and everyone looked happy! We are SO pleased with the results that we are booking her for upcoming events as well. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is not uptight, appreciates good photography and likes photos that are NOT your typical "family photo"arrangement. She's anti-cheesy, super real and is really great with what she does. A+++! read more

Angela is the master photographer. She will find your essence inside a frame and you will be delighted! She has taken beautiful photos of my daughter and myself -- most recently a portrait. She put me at ease throughout the session and walked me through the process of selecting the right color for my clothing and make-up. Angela is a sure thing -- you will not be disappointed if you hire her! read more

I have known for a long time that Angela is a gifted photographer and admired her work. It was a true gift to have her photograph our wedding this past weekend. She turned around the pictures in just a few days and I can't stop scrolling through them. Her documentary-style and sense of humor make for effortless and evocative images that really captured the spirit of the day. There were so many moments that she captured and I had no idea she was even doing so! Even the more traditional, staged family portraits have a carefree and spontaneous vibe. There is very little forced about these shots. She is also a delightful human being and makes for an excellent wedding guest herself! I also appreciated her recommendation for a great makeup and hair artist and all her tips about NYC weddings. She is such a pro that she spotted another bride getting married at the Brooklyn Bridge Park and was able to identify the bride's dress down to the designer and season. She also commented on my mom's dress "oh I just shot that for a photo shoot." It is always a treat to be around someone who has passion and talent for what they do and Angela fits the bill. read more

If you are looking for an amazing photographer who does high quality work and makes it look easy, look no further. Angela is such a talented photographer. Not only does she know what she is doing, but she is a delight to be around. She makes every step of the process comfortable and easy. She is not afraid to offer suggestions and truly be part of the process. Sometimes it's nice to get another opinion on things! You can tell that she takes pride in her work and gives it her all. All the while making you feel like you have known her for years. She is a great addition to any situation. But when it all boils down, her work says all you need to know. Consistent, professional, and beautiful. Don't miss out! read more

I was looking for a photographer to capture a friends 50th birthday dinner at Bouley in New York City in January 2013. After a bit of research, Angela came up as my first choice. Her documentary style of photography really appealed to me and the results were amazing. Through the briefing and booking process Angela responded thoughtfully, professionally and warmly. Angela understood what we required, and certainly delivered on it that night. Angela participated in the event in a very subtle manner, at times documenting the action unobtrusively. At time stopping us so she could capture the perfect shot. In addition Angela capture a series of details of the restaurant or the hotel we had pre-dinner drinks at (Greenwich Hotel), so that the final image collection can tell the story of the night. I unreservedly recommend her if you are looking for unusual photographs with artistic integrity that are on brief. read more

Angela shot our wedding 11 years ago and we still look at the photos in complete awe of her talent and feel so lucky to have such an amazing record of our special day. She was such a pleasure to work with that we decided to keep our friendship going strong, and now consider her part of our family. Angela is a true talent! You won't regret hiring her! read more

Angela is a dream for someone like me. I was a little unsure of what I wanted but she collaborated with me. She gave me photos I didn't even know I wanted. She was patient and precise. She was worth every penny! read more

Angela shot my wedding and I couldn't have been happier with the results. The photos are amazing and perfectly capture the energy and vibe of our rather unusual wedding. I specifically wanted to hire someone who didn't shoot standard wedding pictures (I hate those!) and I also didn't want lovely moments ruined by someone yelling "Hold it!" or "Smile!" at me or my guests; Angela came through on both counts. She was an unobtrusive as a ninja while still managing to capture everything. If you're looking for photos that stand out, this is who you hire. (Also, she's a sweetheart!) read more

There are three really important aspects of a wedding (in my opinion): the band, the booze and the photographer! So far, I've only made it through my engagement shots with Angela but I am looking forward to the big day and having her capture it! Shooting with Angela is a big ball of fun. Her spunky personality makes it easy to relax and enjoy the shoot. She has such an artistic eye, creating a completely unique and beautifully composed scene. Angela provided an array of styles of shots - from casual to close-up to the mandatory I'm-in-love-cheese shot....even gallery quality shots too! I received my photo files within 24hrs and am having trouble deciding which ones to blow-up and print immediately! There are so many great shots of me and my fiance, that really express who we are as a couple. It's a good problem to have. I highly recommend Angela's work and am excited for her to shoot my wedding day! read more

Angela did a beautiful job on my head shots and video for a private practice. She was professional and a pleasure to work with. 10/10!!!

What a pleasure it was working with Angela! She has such great personality, that she draws it out of her subjects. I literally had a smile on my face from her all say. We loved all of her candid shots of friends and family as well as all of the important portraits. The photos had a more journalistic feel to them which I loved since I am an artist and didn't want anything boring and posed. I recommend Angela to everyone, she is professional and so easy to work with!! read more

Angela did my professional headshots for a private practice. I could not have been more pleased. As someone who was very nervous to have their photo taken, she made me feel comfortable and talked me through the whole process. Not only did it make me feel better about the shoot, but resulted in stunning photos. Not to mention, she also helped advise on the shoot looks and her hair and make-up, Laura, was incredible! read more

I still have wonderful memories from a year ago as I reminisce about my daughter's sweet 16 photo shoot in NYC with Angela Cappetta. Angela took fabulous candid shots of my daughter and her two BFFs strutting through NYC like they owned the sidewalk as a fashion runway. She also captured a snapshot in time of the close friendships of the 3 girls huddled together laughing in coffee shops too. Angela has an amazing ability to put her clients at ease, find the inner special qualities of her photography subjects, and present their mood of the moment. For special events in our lives, we all wish to freeze a moment in time and remember it forever. Angela's skillful art of capturing these moments in her photographs makes this possible. Her artistic eye, professionalism, and a command of the logistics before, during and after the shoot is impeccable. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family and anyone else looking for a great photographer for their event. read more

Really enjoyed working with Angela. She took the job on very short notice, kept in touch constantly, and worked with my idea despite it being somewhat unique. The pictures were great. High quality and excellent value given the cost. I would certainly recommend Angela to friends and would use her services again if there was a need. read more

Angela is amazing! She use to come into some of our dance classes at the Joffrey School of Ballet and shoot. The photos were beautiful and captured the essence of the movement perfectly. She was always very professional and non disruptive, sometimes we didn't even notice she was there until after class. She was very interactive and friendly towards the dancers, although she wasn't always around we looked at her as part of our little family. I highly recommend her not only is she creative and awesome at what she does but she truly loves it and cares about the people she is working with. read more

Rarely do you find raw talent without the pretense. Angela was the photographer at my sister's wedding, an event that brought together two different cultures and guests who were meeting each other for the first time. It was a huge success and I honestly feel that Angela played a large part in pulling the group together. Her open and humorous personality was just right, making everyone feel so at ease and joyous on a gorgeous wedding day. The pictures tell the story and they are not only gorgeous, but also documentary and real. So grateful and would put her at the top of my list if I ever get married :) read more

Angela has such a unique eye -- she can transform the simplest moment into a work of art and the grandest moment into its most pure essence. She is a documentarian, artist, and a delight to work with. Her ease and the depth of her knowledge and experience make her a joy to work with, and to raise a glass with after. read more

Angela is an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only does she take beautiful photos, she is fun, funny, organized and responsive. I had a great experience with her. Highly recommended!! read more

Angela took pictures of our wedding over ten years ago! What?!?! Why am I writing this review now? Well, we loved her then, loved loved loved the photographs, loved her artist's eye. Now, recently, I contacted Angela to make me a print for our 10th wedding anniversary. She did it in no time at all; a huge print just as rich and beautiful as the ones she made 10 years ago (plus she gave us an extra print and a bonus shot tossed in for good measure -- typical Angela). We went through our whole wedding album again, and her pictures reminded us of the entire event. Not just who was there, or what we ate, but the particular feel and mood of the whole day. Angela is truly a gem. read more

If not only you but everyone else at your wedding looks beautiful, that's the sign of a great photographer. Angela not only captured us all at our best, the photos themselves are stunning works of art. All guests were captured at least once, as were important symbols and details during and post-ceremony. The spontaneous moments are funny and moving; the more formal portraits surprising and beautiful. Angela is incredibly warm and wonderfully accommodating to whatever last minute changes come about. Her professionalism was evident in the way she choreographed requested groupings but otherwise shot virtually unnoticed. The result is an album so emotional, it's practically tactile. read more

I cannot begin to say how glad I am that I chose Angela Cappetta to shoot my wedding. From the start, Angela was warm, enthusiastic, professional, friendly, and really listened to us when we met for our initial consultation. She worked with us and made us feel confident that we'd be in good hands on the day of the wedding. From the time we first signed our contract (about a year before the wedding) to the wedding day, Angela stayed in contact with me, which was reassuring and made me feel very special (particularly as many of the wedding industry vendors I've come across are not so responsive or will give that personal touch). On the wedding day, Angela and her wonderful assistant Allison arrived early and, for the rest of the night, were working their butts off to get the best shots and to ensure that our itinerary was covered. But best of all, Angela and Allison were just lovely to be around. It sincerely felt like friends were doing our photos, only amazingly talented artistic friends! Angela was also super prompt in getting our photos back to us, and we are IN LOVE with the product. I had a pretty streamlined, no-frills wedding -- that's our style and that's what we wanted. We had few splurges and the one I do not regret in the least was hiring Angela. I'd recommend her, enthusiastically and without reservation, to anyone who wants a bad a$!? photographer who will capture, in photodocumentary style, those moments that will slip by you on your wedding day. With every photo that we have, I can look back and know that those memories will forever be there for us to treasure. Angela is DA BOMB. Hire her. You will not regret it! read more
