Capturing a Lifetime: Josh + Lizzie’s Journey with Move Mountains Co.

At Move Mountains Co., we cherish the opportunity to capture the milestones of our clients' lives, weaving together their unique stories through our lens. One such memorable journey has been with Josh and Lizzie. From their engagement to their wedding, and through their portrait and maternity sessios, it’s been an honor to document their evolving story.

You may even recognize Josh if you were lucky enough to have him as either your wedding photographer or videographer, as he also shoots for Move Mountains. His dedication to capturing meaningful moments has been a cornerstone of their journey, making every frame a reflection of their love and growth.

Where it all started

Our adventure with Josh and Lizzie began in December 2018, when Josh proposed and set the stage for their beautiful love story.

From Engagement to Wedding

Their wedding was in 2019 at Bittersweet Farm and was a celebration filled with joy and cherished moments. It was a privilege to capture their vows and the start of this new chapter together!

Couples Portrait Session

The journey continued with a breathtaking portrait session in Joshua Tree National Park in 2021. This shoot was a stunning tribute to their love, set against the park's unique and picturesque landscapes.


Welcoming a New Life

Most recently, we had the pleasure of photographing their maternity shoot in October 2023 at the Rhode Island Sand Dunes. This session marked another significant chapter in their lives, capturing the anticipation and excitement as they prepared to welcome a new member to their family.

The Value of Consistency

Choosing the same photographer to capture life’s key moments brings significant benefits. For one, it creates a sense of comfort and familiarity that’s hard to replicate. With Josh and Lizzie, this ease was already in place, resulting in more natural and relaxed photos. They didn’t have to start over with someone new, explaining their preferences or adjusting to a different photography style.

In addition, a consistent photography style ensures a cohesive visual narrative throughout all of life’s milestones. From their engagement and wedding to their newborn session, the photos flow seamlessly together, creating a unified story that beautifully reflects their journey. This continuity holds even greater significance for future generations, offering a timeless keepsake of the family’s history.

Being part of Josh and Lizzie's story during these pivotal moments has been incredibly special. It highlights the true value of having a consistent photographer—someone who not only captures beautiful images but also understands the essence of your journey.

Capturing a Lifetime: John + Daria's Journey with Move Mountains Co.

At Move Mountains Co., we have the privilege of capturing life’s most cherished moments, creating lasting memories that tell a unique and personal story. One such journey has been with John and Daria, a couple whose love and life we have documented through their engagement, wedding, and most recently, their newborn portrait session. The experience of being part of their significant life moments has been incredibly special and highlights the importance of having the same photographer throughout these milestones.

Where it all started

Our journey with John and Daria began with their engagement photos in the fall of 2021 in New York City. The excitement and anticipation of their future together were palpable, and we were honored to capture those emotions. The engagement session allowed us to get to know them as a couple, understanding their style, personalities, and the unique bond they share.

From Engagement to Wedding

Their wedding day, in the summer of 2022 at Cruiseport Gloucester, was a beautiful continuation of this story. Having already built a rapport with John and Daria during the engagement shoot, we knew exactly how to capture their special day in a way that felt authentic and meaningful to them. The trust and comfort they had in us allowed for genuine, candid moments, resulting in photos that truly reflected their love and joy.

Welcoming a New Life

Recently, we had the incredible honor of photographing John and Daria's newborn portrait session. Seeing them transition from newlyweds to parents has been a heartwarming experience. Their newborn session was filled with tender moments and the profound love they have for their new baby. Capturing the same couple in different stages of their life adds a layer of continuity and intimacy to the photos, creating a visual narrative that spans years.

The Importance of Consistency

Having the same photographer document these key moments in life offers numerous benefits. Firstly, there’s a level of comfort and familiarity that can’t be replicated. John and Daria were already at ease with us, which allowed for more natural and relaxed photos. They didn’t have to start from scratch with a new photographer, explaining their preferences and getting accustomed to a different style.

Additionally, the consistency in photography style ensures a cohesive look across all the important milestones. The photos from their engagement, wedding, and newborn session all harmonize, creating a beautiful and unified collection that tells their unique story. This consistency is something that future generations will cherish as they look back on the family’s history.

A Special Bond

Being part of John and Daria’s journey has been a testament to the special bond that forms when a photographer is there to capture life’s most important moments. It’s a relationship built on trust, familiarity, and mutual respect. For us at Move Mountains Co., it’s more than just taking pictures—it’s about creating a visual legacy that families can treasure forever.
