3 Tips for Your Engagement Session

Saint Lucy Vincent Beach

Martha’s Vineyard, MA

At Move Mountains Co., we believe that engagement sessions are an integral part of the wedding experience. These sessions allow couples to celebrate their love and capture memories that will last a lifetime. In this resource page, we share some essential tips that will help you make the most of your engagement session.

Tip One: Choose a Recommended Location

Choosing a location is crucial for capturing stunning photos during your engagement session. At Move Mountains Co., we highly recommend using our preapproved locations for best results. Our talented photographers are familiar with these spots around Southern New England and know exactly where to find the perfect lighting and scenery. Choosing a new location can be a bit challenging, and sometimes, it may not yield the best results. Click here to view our recommended locations for your engagement session.

Tip Two: Wear Clothing You Feel Confident and Comfortable In

Your engagement session is all about capturing your love and unique personalities. To help you feel confident and comfortable during your session, we recommend wearing clothing that makes you feel good about yourself. It's essential to choose clothing that reflects your personal style and makes you feel your best. If you're a bit self-conscious, we suggest wearing clothing that won't exacerbate your insecurities.

Tip Three: Dress for the Weather

The weather can be unpredictable, especially in Southern New England. Before your engagement session, check the forecast and dress accordingly. If you're having a beach session in April, wearing a flowy thin dress may not be the best idea as it can be freezing and uncomfortable. Instead, we suggest wearing layers and bringing a jacket or sweater just in case. Being comfortable during your session is essential, so make sure you're dressed for the weather.

We hope these tips will help you prepare for your engagement session and make it a memorable experience. At Move Mountains Co., we are passionate about capturing your love and creating memories that will last a lifetime. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to working with you!

Nickolas + Hannah

Beavertail State Park engagement

Jamestown, Ri

We’ve always loved Beavertail State Park as an engagement session location because of its simple yet versatile oceanside scenery. Nickolas and Hannah fit beautifully in each scene they were put in. They came bearing fashion and stunning looks. That being said we can only take so much credit for how amazing this gallery turned out to be.

Jack + Madison

Fan Pier Park engagement

Boston, MA

With the new hour change and moments of warmish weather, spring is creeping up on us and we couldn’t be more excited! We’re just counting down the days until we can shoot engagement sessions like Jack and Madisons’. A session you can just take one look at and say “yeah… it was definitely warm.” With the sun being potentially the most perfectly golden we’ve ever seen it be and the two of them radiating that exact same energy, we just couldn’t get enough!

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.

Raul + Nissi

Crowne Plaza Elopement

Providence, RI

On this afternoon we had the delight of shooting two of our close friends’ elopement; high school sweethearts Raul + Nissi. We joined them as they decided to keep this big day short and sweet. But don’t let that fool you, these two sure knew how to make the most out of an elopement and simply have the most fun surrounded by those how they hold closest.

Emily + Cullen

Napa Tree Point

Westerly, RI

Do you know those sessions that are super fun and almost feel effortless because you hit it off with the couple? Well, that’s exactly what this session felt like! Here at Move Mountains Co we always make it a goal to not only provide stunning photographs for our couples to cherish for years to come but also to leave the session knowing we gained two more best friends! We met up with Cullen + Emily at Napa Tree Point in Westerly, RI for a beautiful engagement session on the beach! It felt like there were so many different places to take photos and we’re very eager to take advantage of that! From walks on the beach to golden hour, we adore this session!

Dylan + Ali

Throwback to the fall, we loved doing this shoot with Dylan + Ali in Boston, Ma. It’s always a pleasure going up to the city to photograph a couple in there everyday environment, Dylan + Ali’s love for each other was so evident and made taking these photos a walk in the park. From the warm tones of the city side walks to the moodiness of the season pulls everything together. We can’t wait to celebrate these two on their big day!

Chris + Christina

Brenton Point + Fort Adams

Newport, RI

Chris and Christina held an intimate elopement ceremony this past month to celebrate their love and life together, and our wedding photographers had the chance to document it! This adventurous couple set out against the winter wind and even some rain to get some elegant, dramatic portrait photos at Brenton Point State Park and at Fort Adams. After being together for almost six years, Chris and Christina’s romantic story and excitement to elope came to life in their photographs! It was a misty, magical day, and this bride and groom took it by storm!

“These folks were great. They were a pleasure to deal with and were very creative in their approach. They accommodated all of our random photo requests and their own ideas blew us away, and we got our photos back sooner than we expected. I recommend them whole heartedly!”
