Matt + Sorina

Regatta Place

Newport, RI

Talk about magazine cover worthy! We knew from the minute we showed up to the scene that this was going to be a spectacular day. And boy were we right. Matt + Sorina knew about luxury almost as much as they knew about their love for one another. Beautiful weather, beautiful details, loving atmosphere. There’s not much more we could ask for. But better believe that this couple went above and beyond, serving for an awe-inspiring gallery. Make sure to save this one to your pinterest board!

Kevin + Marissa

Belle Mer Wedding

Newport, RI

There are some weddings that really do stick with us. Kevin + Marissas definitely being one of them. The fun loving and warm energy that they carried throughout the whole day made it for a wonderful experience that we will always think back on. But that warmth didn’t only pertain to the couple but it seemed to be the common theme of the entire event. Warm colors and beautiful details. Supportive and excited loved ones all around. It all came together seamlessly and we’re honored to have captured a few glimpses of it all.

Casey + Cassandra

Rosecliff Mansion Wedding

Newport, RI

As you scroll down, does it look like we’ve just photographed a royal wedding? Yeah we thought so too. Although Casey + Cassandra aren’t technically royalty they sure got in front of our camera as if they were and we were not complaining. Their venue can definitely take some credit for this effect. If you’re getting married at Rosecliff Mansion you can only expect to feel like you’re in some sort of fairy tale. Along with about every other detail, this day couldn’t have been more picture perfect (which is all we could ask for). So, we were obviously more than head over heels for their gallery. Take a look and I’m sure you will be too.

Tim + Olivia

Shorehaven Golf Club Wedding

Norwalk, CT

Call us biased but we consider Tim + Olivia’s wedding a gold mine. From the photos to the highlight film this couple truly showed how they can become unintentional movie stars in a matter of hours. Who would’ve thought two people can make a Golf Club look so luxurious. Are you jealous? Because we definitely are! But we cant just thank the couple (as much as we’d love to) we have to tip our hats to all the vendors that truly made this wedding as beautiful as it turned out. The stationary details, the flowers, the Venue, we could go on. We also can’t neglect the main focus of this day; LOVE. Tim + Olivia have been together for more than seven years and have been waiting for this day for almost two. So you could imagine their anticipation and overall excitement to get to say “I do.” There was no denying that these two were meant to be together.

Spiros + Bianca

Peconic Bay Yacht Club Wedding

Southold, NY

Its not often we go on somewhat of a road trip with our team for a wedding but we took on this day with much anticipation. Shooting in a new venue quite a ways from our home base, we didn’t know what to expect but, in the end, we couldn’t be happier with the turn out. The minute we met both Spiros and Bianca we knew they were going to be a down to earth couple that were gonna click so well with our team. You know the stress that comes with wedding days? Yeah, that was nowhere to be found here. Nothing but smiles and excitement from these two. Thank the Lord for their wonderful taste as well! Did you see those center pieces?! And don’t even get us started on the music. This couple partied all day and all night all the while basking in their new titles as Husband and Wife.

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.

Danilo + Andrea

Tower Hill Botanical Center

Boylston, MA

This New England wedding couple happens to be good friends of ours, so it was an honor getting to capture their engagement photos (and engagement video!) in preparation for their spring wedding at the Tower Hill Botanical Center in Boylston, Massachusetts. This down to earth bride and groom are full of charisma and pure love for each other, it’s actually contagious! In the winter season their creative wedding venue serves as a lush oasis for plants, and in the summer it’s the perfect romantic spot for a wedding! We had a ton of fun at this winter engagement session and we’re in love with how beautiful their photos and engagement film came out. June 8th can’t come soon enough!

“Our engagement photos came out looking incredible, we love them!”

The Morning Of

Getting the Best Bride Prep Photos

You wouldn't think it at first, but some of our favorite wedding photos/videos are taken in the morning when the bride is getting ready! It’s the beginning of the day, excitement is in the air, and we don’t want to miss a thing. This is a critical time for your wedding photographers to capture some really important photos that you’ll love to look back on later. In order to make sure that your bride prep looks great, here are a few suggestions that we can offer!

Location

We recommend choosing a space/location that is open, has plenty of natural light and is free of clutter! This will ensure the photographer or videographer has plenty of light and room to work with and will keep your photos looking nice and clean! Try to avoid hotel rooms that are cramped and don't provide much natural lighting. Indoor lighting can be difficult to work with and usually produces orange skin tones, and hotel rooms can also be limiting when trying to find a nice place to shoot details, such as the dress! Often times these rooms have TVs, phones, desks and lamps which can take away from the elegance of the dress and other details that need to be shot.

If you've already scheduled a hotel or are in a smaller/darker space this is totally okay! Here are a few tips for working in this type of space:

  • Make sure your hair and make up artists position you by a window (This is important in any scenario, we love natural light!)

  • Keep indoor lighting off, it may feel dark but the pictures and video will still come out bright!

  • Keep the space clean

 
 

Details

Be sure to bring all the details that you want us to photograph or catch on video on the morning of. This may include but is not limited to:

  • Shoes

  • Dress

  • Wood or Custom hanger for the dress (Example)

  • Bridesmaid dresses

  • Invitations

  • Rings (All 3)

  • Ring Box (Example) (Another Example!)

  • Any jewelry 

  • Any card/gift you'll be exchanging with your fiancé

  • Your bouquet

 
 

Time

Bride prep is such an important part of the day and can sometimes be neglected and undervalued. This is the most relaxed time of the day: you're spending time with your girls, getting pampered, and getting ready to say I do! It’s a great time for your photographer or videographer to warm up and build a rapport with you, your bridesmaids, and your family! But beyond that, shooting details takes time! We ask that you give our team at least an hour (but we recommend more) to style invitations, rings, florals and shoes, and also find the best place to hang your dress!

If we are shooting video and you're planning on exchanging cards on the morning of, please allow your videographer an extra 15 minutes to capture good visuals and audio!

We hope that this is helpful for you as you continue your wedding planning! As always, feel free to reach out to us with any questions you may have!

We had the whole team on for this one shooting photo and video. We started at The Hampton Inn in Providence,  RI, venturing over to Waterplace Park for the first look, formals at Rhode Island's State House and partying at The Dorrance in Downtown Providence. Here are some of our favorites along with a highlight video we shot.
