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!

Jeff + Caitlyn

Downton Boston

Boston, MA

If we could shoot stylish couples at coffee shops all the time, we for sure would, no questions asked. Sadly this doesn’t happen as often as it should! For this engagement we join Jeff and Caitlyn at the beloved fan pier park. But before strolling down the iconic path, we stopped by a cafe and took advantage of the cozy ambiance. Couldn’t have picked a more fitting place for these two. It successfully set a sweet and romantic tone for the entire evening. Once we got outside we were met with the most beautiful sunset that worked as our best friend for the whole session. Another stunning Boston session down, plenty of more to go.

Joseph + Courtney

the Boston Harbor Engagement

boston, Ma

If you’ve seen our stuff for any amount of time at all you know that we love a good Boston engagement shoot. And we love them that much more when the couple we’re shooting knows a thing or two about fashion. These two stunners pulled up to the scene ready to roll. With that energy we strolled down the streets of downtown Boston and had them work their stuff in front of the camera. Courtneys white outfit with a little splash of black accented Joseph’s black outfit with a little splash of white in the most satisfying way. Talk about coordinating!

Dean + Hannah

Boston Public Garden Engagement Session

Boston, MA

You know those moments when you see a couple and you can immediately tell how happy they are to be together? They’re always laughing, smiling, and being goofy; unapologetically themselves.

Right from the moment you meet them, you can’t help but fall in love with their love (I mean… Dean picked Hannah a flower and placed it behind her ear mid-shoot... how stinking cute is that??) Honestly, meeting them wouldn’t even be necessary, for you can also tell from these photos alone! Can you say obsessed ‘cause we sure are!

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!

Chris + Kaitlyn

Boston Engagement Session

Sometimes some engagement shoots are just as exciting as full wedding galleries. This gallery sure is a perfect example of that scenario.
