Mount Hope Farm Wedding

Bristol, RI

Andrew and Jennifer are the kind of couple that you shoot with and the time just flies! Next thing you know they’re posing in front of the night sky with fireworks as their backdrop. Getting the opportunity to capture this wedding was an absolute blast, it was just bursting with laughter and love. If the wedding starts with a hilarious first look fake out and ends in a firework celebration then you can bet everything in between was just as wonderful!

Ocean Cliff - Newport, RI

David and Olivia’s wedding at OceanCliff in Newport, RI, was a celebration of love, breathtaking views, and unforgettable moments. Nestled on the scenic shores of Narragansett Bay, OceanCliff provided the perfect backdrop for this couple’s stunning wedding day. With its historic charm, sweeping ocean vistas, and elegant spaces, it was clear from the start that this venue would create a memorable setting for David and Olivia’s celebration. The ceremony, held on the lawn overlooking the water, was intimate and heartfelt, with the sound of the waves gently lapping against the shore as they exchanged vows. The love and joy they shared were palpable, making the moment even more magical.

The reception at OceanCliff was a lively and beautiful affair, with guests celebrating the newlyweds amidst panoramic views of the coastline and luxurious décor. Every detail of the day, from the soft lighting in the ballroom to the vibrant florals that filled the space, reflected the couple’s impeccable taste and personality. The air was filled with laughter, cheers, and the excitement of a couple starting their forever together. As the night unfolded, guests danced and celebrated late into the evening, creating memories that will last a lifetime. David and Olivia’s wedding at OceanCliff was not just a beautiful event—it was a perfect reflection of their love, their story, and the future they are beginning together.

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!

Kevin + Jordan

Spring House Hotel

New Shoreham, RI

Kevin and Jordan’s Block Island destination wedding was a beachy, boho masterpiece! This was an emotional, meaningful weekend for Jordan’s family, as they have vacationed on Block Island for generations prior. Our wedding photography and videography team had the best time getting to know the bride and groom over the long weekend they spent together. Creativity ran wild as we explored all the island had to offer through drone coverage and renting some mopeds prior to the day of the wedding! This fun loving, down to earth couple made the weekend unforgettable.

“I can’t help but smile and tear up as I write this review for Move Mountains. We partnered with them for our wedding in September on Block Island, Rhode Island and we could not have worked with a more perfect team to capture our special wedding weekend. From our initial conversations a year before through the final logistics of the big day, it felt like we were working with a group of our best friends. It was easy, natural and amazing. We had the awesome opportunity to work with 5 amazing MM team members. They were so incredibly helpful when organizing the weekend with us. I haven’t even gotten to the final product - our pictures and videos! We received our AMAZING pictures so quickly and I was at a loss for words when looking through them. All the emotions came flooding back and I couldn’t believe how beautiful they were. We’re so excited to receive our videos soon and I know they will be absolutely breathtaking. Thank you MM for being so incredibly wonderful during the best weekend of our lives! We love you guys!”

Mike and Becky’s sunny, bright, romantic mansion wedding at Castle Hill Inn in Newport, Rhode Island was filled with so many sweet candid moments that our wedding photography and wedding videography team had so much fun getting to capture. Our wedding photographer and wedding videographer’s photojournalistic approach to the wedding day allowed the wedding team to stick to the background and let the bride and groom really enjoy their day while still capturing all of the heartfelt, beautiful moments in photos and in video. If this laid back photography style fits what you’d like for your wedding photos and wedding film, reach out to us today before our season books up!

Tom + Hana

Engagement Session

Warren, RI

Sometimes the most magical engagement photos can be taken right in the comfort of your home! It was a snowy winter day when our wedding photographers visited this bride and groom’s cozy home for their casual winter engagement session. This was the perfect option for a photo session in February, since the couple was able to stay warm and still take advantage of the snow on the ground outside. We even got some great photos with their dog included! The next time we’ll see these two is at their fall wedding at the Blithewold Mansion in Bristol, Rhode Island, and our wedding photography team can’t wait!

“We are in love with our photos and haven’t stopped looking at them!! We are even more excited than before for our wedding photos and are so glad we have Move Mountains Co to document one of the most important days of our lives!”
— Hana

Aaron + Heather

Salve Regina + Forty Steps

Newport, Rhode Island

Engagement session season picks up right as summer wedding season slows down! Aaron and Heather got to meet up with their wedding photographer right before the winter chill rolled in. This happy couple’s adventure began when they met at Salve Regina in Newport, Rhode Island, so it was such an honor to head back to where it all began for their two-hour engagement session. Our top rated wedding photographers loved getting to know the bride and groom while hearing stories and visiting the spots where they first fell in love. Their engagement shoot was the perfect warm up for their wedding photography and videography this upcoming Fall at Gurney’s in Newport. If you’re recently engaged and looking for a wedding photographer or wedding videographer, we’d love to connect!

“My fiancé and I had our engagement photos taken this past fall by Move Mountains Co. and we couldn’t be happier with how they came out! They were amazing to work with and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We were blown away by their attention to detail. Our photographer brought us back to our first location after noticing the lighting from the sunset, which turned out to be some of our favorite pictures. We are so excited to work with the entire Move Mountains Co. team for our wedding next fall!”
— Heather

Tim + Katie

Beavertail State Park

Jamestown, RI

We’ve been looking back at our favorite weddings and engagement sessions from previous wedding seasons and we wanted to share a throwback to Tim and Katie’s engagement session at Beavertail State Park in Jamestown, Rhode Island! Their love story began with just a high school crush, it was incredible to see how far this New England couple had come. By the time the sun set on the beach at the end of their photo session, this bride and groom was more than ready for their wedding the following summer. If you’ve ever been on the fence about having an engagement session, our photographers always recommend trying it! Feel free to reach out to us with any questions you may have!

“Absolutely incredible team of photographers and videographers! Our wedding day could not have been captured any more beautifully and we are so thankful to Move Mountains for that. If you are looking for a professional, thoughtful and extremely talented group of people- look no further!”
— Katie

Mike + Mary

Fort Adams

Newport, RI

We initially met Mike and Mary through some mutual friends of ours! When they asked if they could bring their dog to their engagement session, we knew right away that we were going to love them. Our wedding photographers loved getting to explore the historic, rustic interior with this down to earth bride and groom. Fort Adams in Newport, Rhode Island was a special spot for Mike and Mary, as they had many sentimental memories there at the Newport Folk Festival every year. It was an easy photo shoot location to pick for their wedding engagement session, and it resulted in some beautiful, dramatic engagement photos! If you’re getting married in 2020, let’s book your engagement session today!

“Sean is so great at capturing moments, it feels so natural and comfortable. I would recommend him to anyone looking for engagement sessions or weddings!!”

Tim + Katie

Aqua Blue

Narragansett, RI

Tim and Katie brought the energy to Narragansett, Rhode Island with their bright eyes and huge smiles. This adventurous couple tied the knot at the elegant St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Church, but our wedding team’s favorite moment of the day easily was climbing the rocky terrain for their photo session at the Black Point Trailhead walking path. Their bridal party was larger than life and their love story was a pleasure for our wedding photography and wedding videography team to retell. Tim and Katie booked the "Deluxe Too" wedding package, which includes two photographers and two videographers. We'll never forget the enthusiastic crowd, the high energy couple, and killer venue that made this wedding what it was!

Jay + Kalyn

Beavertail State Park

Jamestown, RI

Winter’s wind and chilly temperatures couldn’t stop Jay and Kalyn’s waterfront engagement session at Beavertail State Park in Jamestown, Rhode Island! This couple flew in all the way from Michigan to visit family and to get to know their wedding photographer well before their wedding day! This New England couple pushed through the windy weather and their engagement photos came out effortlessly! We loved getting to hear more about their love story, and they were super fun to photograph!

“Sean and the rest of the team of Move Mountains Co. were absolutely wonderful to work with! My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but their easy going and relaxed attitudes made us feel so much better. They are warm and accommodating by nature, so they took all the pressure off and blended in seamlessly, and didn’t in any way make us feel so on the spot. They listened to us and gave us all the space we needed, but somehow captured every moment so beautifully. ”
— Nadine

Jimmie + Kate's Boat Session

Hawthorne Cove

Salem, MA

We’re not gonna lie, our wedding photography and videography team was a little star struck when we first met Boston-based fashion blogger, Prep of Boston! The first time we met Jimmie and Kate was at their favorite spot in Salem, Massachusetts. It was on their boat and by the docks that these two fell in love, and we loved hearing their collection of memories they shared there! It’s always extra meaningful getting to visit different spots that hold sentimental value to our wedding couples for their engagement sessions! Check out their engagement photos and their engagement video below. If you have a special place in mind that you’d like your engagement photos or engagement video taken, we want to hear about it!

“We got married at a residential home in Rhode Island in October 2017 and Move Mountains did an exceptional job capturing the gorgeous weekend. I absolutely love our photos and really enjoyed working with the photographers. Among what I appreciated: their prices were reasonable, they were willing to customize a package that made sense for our wedding needs and the photographers were very responsive to the style of photography we were going for. My only regret is not booking a bit more time with the photographers. Thank you Move Mountains!”

Josh + Lizzie

Goose Rocks Beach

Kennebunkport, Maine

This past weekend, our wedding photography team bundled up and made the journey to Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport, Maine for our most recent adventure! We braved the brisk winter breeze and caught some romantic golden hour beach photos for this surprise engagement session! This wasn’t your average wedding proposal, but this wasn’t your average couple either! It was such an honor to photograph one of our own team members, Josh, as he proposed to his fiancé, Lizzie! Josh is one of our multifaceted creatives on our wedding team, specializing in wedding photography, wedding videography, graphic design, AND he’s one of our drone pilots! Josh has been with us since the beginning, and we’re so excited for him as he enters into this exciting new season! Congratulations, you two!

“Move Mountains Co. is by FAR the best wedding photography/videography services in Rhode Island, if not the entire East coast. The camera crew not only feels like family at the end of the wedding, but works hard to get to know the bride, groom, family and guests. I found myself at the wedding standing and talking to each photographer individually for a good chunk of time - each and every one has a heart of gold...I will never forget these guys and I will forever recommend them to anyone getting married. There is nothing better than not worrying about your big day and getting the calming attention of your photographers. Not to mention the enthusiasm when amazing photos are taken - these guys really do love what they do and they make the biggest effort to help you love your wedding day!”

Chuck + Kristin

Newport Officers Club

Newport, RI

After Chuck and Kristin’s dramatic, stunning engagement session with their lead engagement session photographer, Tiahna, we were beyond excited to reunite with this Arizona-based couple for their glamorous summer wedding at the Newport Officers Club in Newport, Rhode Island! Chuck and Kristin purchased the Deluxe wedding photography and wedding videography package, which includes one wedding videographer and two wedding photographers! Thanks to our team, we were able to start the day in two different getting ready locations: the Homewood Suites, and Hotel Viking! After our bride and groom tied the knot at Saint Lucy’s Church in Middletown, RI, the bride and groom, and bridal party were whisked away to explore the town with their photographers and videographer before celebrating at their beautiful reception! It was an honor getting to capture and retell their story for them to relive in the years to come! Congratulations again you two!

The Bohlin

Newport, RI

One thing’s for sure: Dan and Chelsea know how to throw a party! Our wedding photography and videography team had a blast at this bright summer wedding! This fun-loving couple had an effortless wedding day seeing all that Newport, Rhode Island had to offer! They took on the nautical town by trolley and hit some classic Newport landmark spots for their wedding photos and wedding film! After starting the day at RaNew Salon, we were able to have their first look photographed at the elegant and beautiful Salve Regina University! After saying “I Do” at The Bohlin, they were whisked away to the sailing docks to take a quick breath and get some beautiful photos along the water! After this, it was straight to the tent reception that they had all been waiting for! Our bride and groom danced the night away, and our photo and video team was there to catch all of the best moments! We hope you enjoy!

“I wish I could give 10 stars! I am so happy that we found the team at Move Mountains Co. to be our photographers and videographer for our special day. Our engagement session with Sean was awesome because it gave us an opportunity to meet each other before the big day and for him to get to know our personalities. Nicole, the Studio Manager, was great to work with, as she was quick to respond via e-mail and always available to answer my never ending questions over the phone. Day-of shooters were Sean and Tiahna and they were so great, especially because they patient with our large bridal party, which at times was a rowdy crew!”

Chuck + Kristin

Fort Adams

Newport, RI

Wedding photographers are always on the hunt for the best, most awe-inspiring spots to shoot! With old style engineering and rustic structure, Fort Adams in Newport, Rhode Island was just that place! Chuck and Kristin chose to explore Fort Adams and it’s rich history with their wedding photographer, Tiahna, for their dramatic and stunning engagement session. This couple flew all the way from Arizona to be here in Rhode Island for their Newport destination wedding! Chuck actively serves in the United States Marine Corps, and we were honored to spend some time with them before their wedding at the Newport Officer’s Club just a few days later! They brought the energy and excitement to this engagement session (I mean, did you SEE that dip?) and we had a great time photographing their beautiful engagement portraits. Stay tuned to see their wedding photos and wedding video from their wedding day!

Mike + Christie

aldrich mansion

Warwick, ri 

If you looked up the word classy in the dictionary we're pretty sure that Mike and Christie’s Aldrich Mansion wedding would be pictured in the definition. Wedding photographers live for elegant wedding details and magnificent Rhode Island mansions like this, so photographing this beautiful summer wedding in Warwick, Rhode Island was a dream come true! Mike and Christie booked the "I Do Too" wedding photography package with Tiahna on lead and Emma as the second shooter. Every part of their wedding celebration screamed elegance and sophistication from start to finish, it’s almost like Aldrich Mansion was made for them!
