Jordan + Lauren

Johnathan Edwards winery wedding

North Stonington, CT

We sure do love a good winery wedding. There’s just something about being surrounded by grape vines that makes everything feel that much more classy and romantic.

In early September of last year the team traveled a bit father North to Stonington, CT for the highly anticipated celebration of Jordan and Laurens wedding. We say highly anticipated because of how much we adored their engagement session that we shot in April of that year. They were super fun to work with, confident in front of the camera, and head over heels for each other. All those things rung true on their big day. A day filled with emotions, a little bit of nerves, and a lot of disco balls.

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.

Rob + Kathleen

Stonehurst Wedding

Hampton, CT

It’s always a treat being able to work with new venues and such amazing couples and that’s exactly what this wedding was. We shot Rob + Kathleen’s wedding in Hampton, CT at Stonehurst Barns, the venue and grounds make for a stunning wedding scene for any bride. The whole wedding day was laid back and super fun just like Rob + Kathleen’s engagement session in Providence. Not to forget the drop dead gorgeous florals from Golden Gate Florist that were draped throughout the wedding venue and ceremony. We had such a great time working with Rob + Kathleen and can’t wait to be back at Stonehurst Barns!
