Sanjeev + Larisa

the state room

BOSTON, MA

This wedding was all about the details & the couple for us. Individually, the details were clean, colorful and elegant but all together, they were show-stopping! We had so much fun shooting Sanjeev + Larisa’s wedding at one of our favorite Boston, MA wedding venues, The State Room. We had our full team there to capture photo & video. Now It was hard to choose, but here’s a few of our favorite shots from the day (get your wedding inspo pinterest board ready)!

Jerry + Laura

Gurney's Newport Resort & Marina

Newport, RI

We had the privilege of capturing both photo and video for Jerry and Laura’s wedding at Gurney’s in Newport, RI. We couldn’t have loved this wedding more, from the couple, to the location, to all the classic New England vibes! The personal details were immersive and strung throughout the entire wedding day. Whether you came here for inspiration or just to admire, this won’t disappoint!

Danilo + Andrea

Tower Hill Botanical Garden

Boylston, MA

We loved shooting this wedding! Danilo + Andrea’s summer wedding at Tower Hill Botanical Garden in Bolyston, Ma was made for a romantic day. Danilo + Andrea are the most easy going and care free people, their love for one another is real and a kind of love you know that lasts. The couple was so fun and laid back which was an overall feel that encapsulated their day. We love the elegant and clean details that were intertwined throughout the aesthetic of Tower Hill Botanical Garden which is a great venue for the modern bride & groom.

Dave + Lyndsey

The Lace Factory

Deep River, CT

Dave + Lyndsey’s wedding day consisted of simple classic neutrals for the bridal party and a rustic, romantic feel for The Lace Factory creating the perfect juxtaposition. With so much character in one building there is no need for over kill on the decorations. We say keep it simple and let the bride and groom be the focal point of the day and let me tell you, Dave and Lyndsey did nothing less than that. They have such a sweet genuine love for each other. let’s just say there was tears during the intimate ceremony. Ending the night with a candle lit dinner, dancing and cake this day couldn’t have been better!

Casco, ME

Nick and Courtney’s destination wedding at Migis Lodge in Casco, Maine was a dream come true! Our wedding photographers and videographers teamed up with an all-star vendor crew to make this Maine Wedding one of our favorites of the season. It started with a drive up the day before the wedding to capture their rehearsal dinner to morning yoga the day of the wedding. We can’t wait to do it all again soon! #ProchPartyInThePines

Drew + Jacqueline Engagement

Rome, Italy

Okay, not trying to get cheesy or anything but shooting this engagement shoot felt a bit like a scene out of a movie. Some of our team members flew to Rome, Italy to capture all the nuptials surrounding Drew + Jacqueline’s wedding. A few days before the wedding, we spent the better half of the day adventuring around Rome and photographing romantic and carefree moments with Drew + Jacqueline. Though their wedding was only a few days later, we enjoyed getting to know the couple and experience one of their favorite destinations with them!

This summer, we had the opportunity to head to Rome, Italy for the most exquisite intimate wedding.

Connor + Amanda

Newport, RI

We had the privilege of capturing both photo and video for Conor and Amanda’s wedding at Fort Adams in Newport, RI. We couldn’t have loved this wedding more - from the couple, to the location, to the classic New England vibe! The personal details were immersive and strung throughout the entire wedding day.

Nick + Natalie

The Providence G

Providence, RI

We had the pleasure to capture Nick and Natalie’s beautiful day in downtown Providence, RI. We loved how they were able to fuse traditional wedding beauty with more modern details sprinkled throughout the day. It was a full day of celebrating with friends and family who travelled from all over to be at the wedding, so when we had a moment in the reception to sneak out with the bride and groom to get a few extra shots, we took it. What happened next was one of theirs (and our) favorite parts of the day! A friendly stranger saw the newlyweds, offered his congratulations, and asked if we wanted to use his classic car for a few photos. Of course, we said yes as this perfectly fit the vibe of the day. Take a look at this fun and spontaneous moment as well as a few of our favorite shots from the day!

Top Reasons To Hire A Wedding Videographer

We can't tell you how many times we hear brides tell us they weren't planning on hiring a videographer initially but are so glad they did. Don't get us wrong, we love wedding photos and do our best to capture the moments that make your special day magical. But there's just something about being able to look back on your day - see the movements, hear the sounds, and watch the day unfold. So if you're going back and forth on whether or not you should hire a wedding videographer, here are a few of our top reasons as to why it's a wedding day must.

Re-Live Your Favorite Moments

Video is immersive. Watching your wedding video brings you back to those very moments you're watching unfold on the screen. There's much to be said about wedding photos, but video takes it a step further by capturing the overall atmosphere and essence of the day. There's just something special being able to watch back your own expressions and reactions in real-time. Not to mention all the moments you missed! Which brings us to our next reason...

Take In All The Details You Missed

One of the things we hear from our couples all the time is, "I'm just trying to take it all in!" A wedding day is overwhelming in all the best ways! After spending months preparing and working over the details, you want to be able to enjoy the fruit of your labor! However, you also want to enjoy your guests and, of course, your new spouse! So with all the celebrating, it's easy to miss out on some of the details of the day but with a wedding video, you can take it all in from the comfort of your own couch. Over and over again.

Share The Experience With Loved Ones

A wedding highlight is a great way to share your day with all those who were apart of making it so special, as well as friends and family who weren't able to attend. Having a video allows people to experience (or re-experience) all the beauty and emotion of your wedding day. So whether you post it to Instagram, text it out, heck - you could even send it in an old-fashioned email chain (for once, an email chain we like)...we know it will be something you and your loved ones treasure.

All The Memories For Years To Come

Here at Move Mountains Co., we love curating the most special moments of the day and creating a wedding highlight you'll watch over and over again, for years to come. How cool it will be to one day re-watch your wedding day with your kids, showing them what it was like when mom and dad got married! We make every effort to capture the beauty of your wedding day but even more importantly, we work to capture the beauty of what's to come in your marriage. It’s our hope that when you watch your wedding video, it transports you back to that sacred day and those very moments where you exchanged vows to love and to cherish one another for the rest of your lives.

Jimmie + Kate

Misselwood at Endicott College

Beverly, MA

Let us start by saying - this wedding was one for the books! This Boston couple kicked off our summer of weddings with all the charm and beauty you could handle. You may remember Jimmie and Kate (AKA Prep of Boston) from the engagement session we did with them earlier this year at the Roger Williams Botanical Center in Providence, RI. Well we picked up right where we left off with them by capturing so many special (and fun) moments throughout their wedding day. Every detail was thought through and came together perfectly for this classic New England wedding. This day truly embodied them as a couple and it was our joy to capture it through photo and video. Below are a few of our favorite moments!

        

Andrew + Itzel

Beavertail State Park

Jamestown, RI

This engagement shoot was one for the books! We went with Andrew and Itzel to Beavertail State Park in Jamestown, Rhode Island and captured some beautiful moments. What we love about these engagement photos is the natural and effortless romance that’s portrayed

Jake + Desma

Belle Mer

Newport, RI

This wedding was all about the details for us. Individually, the details were clean and simple but together, they were show-stopping! We had so much fun shooting Jake + Desma’s wedding at one of our favorite Rhode Island wedding venues, Belle Mer. It was hard to choose, but here’s a few of our favorite shots from the day (get your wedding inspo pinterest board ready)!

        

Chris + Brianna

The Atlantic Resort Newport

Newport, RI

Chris and Brianna’s wedding took place at the beautiful Atlantic Resort in Newport, Rhode Island. One thing we loved about their wedding was the flair of drama that was mixed into all the romantic elements of the day. Every detail came together to create a stunning wedding day for an amazing couple!

Fort Adam's and Her Siren

Inspiration and Initiative

This shoot was inspired by Ben Sasso's work! if you don't know who he is make sure you check out his stuff. I love his style, the type of models he chooses, his often odd prop choices, simple wardrobe choices, and his willingness to help other artists like myself, as I attribute 95% of my photography knowledge from pestering other photographers.

Fort Adam's and Her Siren

Fort Adam's was built in 1798 and named after President John Adam's and was active in five major wars. Today it's a State Park, has a great vibe and is a great place to shoot (no pun intended). The inner rooms are covered in old shiplap and there are antique couches floating around that are great for creative shoots, wedding shoots and engagement photos!

I'd been wanting to shoot at Fort Adam's ever since we helped load film for John Abbott as he photographed up and coming Jazz artist's at the Newport's Jazz Festival or maybe it's been since my best friend got married there back in 2015 (truly a unique wedding venue!)

Since we are mostly in the wedding photography game it's rare that we get a chance to get to work on purely creative projects but it's always a joy when we are able to. This was the first time I had shot Briana and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. She was perfect for the fort and brought the exact energy to the shoot that I hoped she would, although as hard as I persisted she would not play that trumpet (or bugle, not pictured).

Frequency Separation

For photographers...

For the editing I used Ben Sasso's Heck Yeah Presets (The Bright Pack) with Lightroom/Photoshop and a method of photo retouching called frequency separation. It was my second time working with this method. I originally went with using the first tutorial I found on Youtube here, but wasn't getting the results I wanted. I emailed Ben and he sent over the video that he learned from which seems like an even more time consuming method but I think the results are better (however, at that point I was about 75% through the photos and couldn't start over). That video can be found here

If you look at the results of the process, it is definitely worth the time invested.

CASTLE HILL INN

Newport, RI

We were shooting video for this one but growing up I loved Mustangs so I had to snag some photos in-between shooting video. Castle Hill Inn, in Newport, RI is always a beautiful spot to have your wedding.
