3 Tips for Your Engagement Session

Saint Lucy Vincent Beach

Martha’s Vineyard, MA

At Move Mountains Co., we believe that engagement sessions are an integral part of the wedding experience. These sessions allow couples to celebrate their love and capture memories that will last a lifetime. In this resource page, we share some essential tips that will help you make the most of your engagement session.

Tip One: Choose a Recommended Location

Choosing a location is crucial for capturing stunning photos during your engagement session. At Move Mountains Co., we highly recommend using our preapproved locations for best results. Our talented photographers are familiar with these spots around Southern New England and know exactly where to find the perfect lighting and scenery. Choosing a new location can be a bit challenging, and sometimes, it may not yield the best results. Click here to view our recommended locations for your engagement session.

Tip Two: Wear Clothing You Feel Confident and Comfortable In

Your engagement session is all about capturing your love and unique personalities. To help you feel confident and comfortable during your session, we recommend wearing clothing that makes you feel good about yourself. It's essential to choose clothing that reflects your personal style and makes you feel your best. If you're a bit self-conscious, we suggest wearing clothing that won't exacerbate your insecurities.

Tip Three: Dress for the Weather

The weather can be unpredictable, especially in Southern New England. Before your engagement session, check the forecast and dress accordingly. If you're having a beach session in April, wearing a flowy thin dress may not be the best idea as it can be freezing and uncomfortable. Instead, we suggest wearing layers and bringing a jacket or sweater just in case. Being comfortable during your session is essential, so make sure you're dressed for the weather.

We hope these tips will help you prepare for your engagement session and make it a memorable experience. At Move Mountains Co., we are passionate about capturing your love and creating memories that will last a lifetime. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to working with you!

“Our photos are unbelievable, we love them! Thank you so much.”

Jack + Madison

Fan Pier Park engagement

Boston, MA

With the new hour change and moments of warmish weather, spring is creeping up on us and we couldn’t be more excited! We’re just counting down the days until we can shoot engagement sessions like Jack and Madisons’. A session you can just take one look at and say “yeah… it was definitely warm.” With the sun being potentially the most perfectly golden we’ve ever seen it be and the two of them radiating that exact same energy, we just couldn’t get enough!

Samuel + Samantha

Fan Pier Engagement Session

Boston, MA

Boy oh boy are we excited to share with you all this wonderful gallery which all took place in the infamous streets of Boston. On March 4, 2022, two of our team members took off to the oh-so-loved Fan Pier Park; A client favorite for good reason. They joined the fantastic Sam + Sam duo without knowing just how much fun they were all going to have. Sure the success of a shoot depends a lot on the skill of the shooters as well as the potential of the location but let us tell you, if the couple knows how to roll with what we throw at them and just have a good time, thats when we get the absolute best results!

From the second we saw their outfits we knew we were in for a treat. And man were we right. These two just took directions like champs while adding their own spice to it. We all seamlessly riffed off each other going from location to location. We could’ve shot them for hours! The cold wouldn’t be so forgiving to fulfill those dreams but that wont be the case when we join them on their big day in August. We simply can’t wait!

Jake + Diana

Boston Marriott Wedding

Boston, RI

After shooting Diana’s sister’s wedding in 2019 - we knew we had to shoot her and Jake’s wedding! This day was so much fun! Diana was such a joy to be around, she was so happy and truly knew how to cut loose and have fun at her wedding. Jake present of jewelry was thoughtful, but Diana really lit up when she opened a gift of new custom Nike Blazers.

The dance floor was lively as we partied to the sounds of Blink 182, The Killers and Yellowcard, it’s always a vibe when your couples love pop-punk and throw it back to the early 2000’s! This won’t be a wedding we will forget. Thank you so much to Jake + Diana for just making this day so much fun, it was such an honor and privilege to party with you guys!

The Morning Of

Getting the Best Bride Prep Photos

You wouldn't think it at first, but some of our favorite wedding photos/videos are taken in the morning when the bride is getting ready! It’s the beginning of the day, excitement is in the air, and we don’t want to miss a thing. This is a critical time for your wedding photographers to capture some really important photos that you’ll love to look back on later. In order to make sure that your bride prep looks great, here are a few suggestions that we can offer!

Location

We recommend choosing a space/location that is open, has plenty of natural light and is free of clutter! This will ensure the photographer or videographer has plenty of light and room to work with and will keep your photos looking nice and clean! Try to avoid hotel rooms that are cramped and don't provide much natural lighting. Indoor lighting can be difficult to work with and usually produces orange skin tones, and hotel rooms can also be limiting when trying to find a nice place to shoot details, such as the dress! Often times these rooms have TVs, phones, desks and lamps which can take away from the elegance of the dress and other details that need to be shot.

If you've already scheduled a hotel or are in a smaller/darker space this is totally okay! Here are a few tips for working in this type of space:

• Make sure your hair and make up artists position you by a window (This is important in any scenario, we love natural light!)

• Keep indoor lighting off, it may feel dark but the pictures and video will still come out bright!

• Keep the space clean

Details

Be sure to bring all the details that you want us to photograph or catch on video on the morning of. This may include but is not limited to:

• Shoes

• Dress

• Wood or Custom hanger for the dress (Example)

• Bridesmaid dresses

• Invitations

• Rings (All 3)

• Ring Box (Example) (Another Example!)

• Any jewelry 

• Any card/gift you'll be exchanging with your fiancé

• Your bouquet

Time

Bride prep is such an important part of the day and can sometimes be neglected and undervalued. This is the most relaxed time of the day: you're spending time with your girls, getting pampered, and getting ready to say I do! It’s a great time for your photographer or videographer to warm up and build a rapport with you, your bridesmaids, and your family! But beyond that, shooting details takes time! We ask that you give our team at least an hour (but we recommend more) to style invitations, rings, florals and shoes, and also find the best place to hang your dress!

If we are shooting video and you're planning on exchanging cards on the morning of, please allow your videographer an extra 15 minutes to capture good visuals and audio!

We hope that this is helpful for you as you continue your wedding planning! As always, feel free to reach out to us with any questions you may have!
