Jeff + Leah

the Black Point Trailhead engagement

Jeff and Leah's engagement session at the Black Point Trailhead was a beautiful celebration of their love. Surrounded by the stunning views of the ocean and rugged rocks, they captured romantic and playful moments together. Moments that they’ll soon begin to relive as they pose together for cameras again on their big day. But we just loved this location for it provided a breathtaking backdrop for their engagement memories and set the stage for a lifetime of adventures to come.

Jeff + Rachel

Sand Dunes Engagement

West Greenwich, RI

Now, we’ll admit that Jeff + Rachel did already get married and their wedding photos are phenomenal. BUT we couldn’t showcase those and overlook their somehow equally as enchanting engagement session. For this session, we set off to the West Greenwich Sand Dunes here in Rhode Island. And you better believe we took advantage of every square inch of that terrain (basically.) Because with every setting change, we got to capture a little bit more magic. With these two being as stylish as ever we just couldn’t get enough! We even shot long enough to catch some stunning pictures under the glow of the moon. Keep your eyes peeled for their wedding blog, you won’t want to miss it!

Ronald + Melanie

Chase Farm Engagement Session

Lincoln, RI

We’ll be the first to admit that we’re obsessed with Chase Farm… clearly. No matter the season you can place your bets that the MMC team will indeed be shooting there. For this session we have Ronald + Melanie. Both of which whom complimented the romantic late fall vibes perfectly! Take a look for yourself down below.

Mike + Rachel

Cliff Walk Engagement

Newport, RI

One note that we took from Mike + Rachel’s engagement is that we’d love every couple to be like them. A couple that you can laugh and joke around with is the best type of couple. You’re all having a good time and have developed a sense of friendship and trust. It makes shooting that much easier and the results that much more breathtaking.

Jim + Manda

Boston Public Library Engagement

Boston, MA

It’s not often our couples reserve an entire public library for themselves for the sake of a session. Now that’s dedication to the vision! The said dedicated couple of the hour would be Jim + Manda. These two lovebirds shined amongst the marble pillars and bookshelves. Who knew that posing in an empty library would make it feel like you’re the only two people in the world.

Scott + Maggie

Elephant Rock Engagement

Westport, MA

We’ll start this off by saying if you plan on having your engagement session in the coast, then we suggest you bring a sweater or two. Because let us tell you, Scott and Maggie were absolute troopers putting up with the cold that threatened to derail them on the 18th of April at Elephant Rock Beach. They came ready to go with their vintage like vibe and fun-loving energy. We’re absolutely obsessed with how the color palette went beautifully with or signature Art look! (We’re also absolutely obsessed with the couple and can’t wait for their big day.)

Corey + Rebecca

Brooklyn Bridge

Brooklyn, NY

As much as we love the backdrops that mother nature offers us we sure do love a city engagement! Corey + Rebecca gave all they had and absolutely slayed the streets of Brooklyn.

Mitch + Dayna

Francis William Bird Park

East Walpole, MA

Flash back to this ideal fall engagement shoot we did with Mitch + Dayna. If this doesn’t inspire every single orange leaf loving bone in your body we don’t know what will! These two absolutely killed this session with an outfit change and natural chemistry that carried them throughout the entire shoot! We had so much fun and just can’t wait for their wedding come this August.

Jordan + Lauren

New Haven Engagement

New Haven, CT

We don’t like to play favorites here at Move Mountains Co. … but when a couple as lovely as Jordan + Lauren come along, things get a little dicey. In the best way possible of course! From the second we saw Jordans converse we were just overjoyed, knowing full well these two were going to be so much fun to work with. We’re no psychics but we were right on the money with that prediction. They took directions like champs with Lauren naturally working the camera and adding in her own twists, always keeping it interesting. At the end of it, it just felt like we were hanging with some friends who were giving us a tour of New Haven, CT while occasionally stopping to take pictures of them. Saying we can’t wait for their wedding would be an understatement.

Mike + Diana

Sand Dune Engagement Session

West Greenwich, RI

Now, these two knew exactly what they wanted when it came to their engagement session. Their one objective was to serve and my oh my, did they execute. Lavender poofy dress, convertible, red bottoms, and Versace drinking glasses. Need we say more? Mike + Diana showcased not only their lavish looks but also their fun-loving and easy-going personalities by going with what we threw at them and making it their own all at once!

Brady + Jamie

Duxbury Beach Engagement

Marshfield, MA

We’re always super excited when we get the chance to shoot one of our own team members with the one that they love the most. And that’s exactly what we had the pleasure of doing on Tuesday April 5th with Brady and Jamie. Everything about the low light sunset vibe that just had us going. A lighting situation like this makes for some lovely romantic photos that we were just so excited to slap our signature Art look on. And man did it feel right!
