Capturing a Lifetime: Josh + Lizzie’s Journey with Move Mountains Co.

At Move Mountains Co., we cherish the opportunity to capture the milestones of our clients' lives, weaving together their unique stories through our lens. One such memorable journey has been with Josh and Lizzie. From their engagement to their wedding, and through their portrait and maternity sessios, it’s been an honor to document their evolving story.

You may even recognize Josh if you were lucky enough to have him as either your wedding photographer or videographer, as he also shoots for Move Mountains. His dedication to capturing meaningful moments has been a cornerstone of their journey, making every frame a reflection of their love and growth.

Where it all started

Our adventure with Josh and Lizzie began in December 2018, when Josh proposed and set the stage for their beautiful love story.

From Engagement to Wedding

Their wedding was in 2019 at Bittersweet Farm and was a celebration filled with joy and cherished moments. It was a privilege to capture their vows and the start of this new chapter together!

Couples Portrait Session

The journey continued with a breathtaking portrait session in Joshua Tree National Park in 2021. This shoot was a stunning tribute to their love, set against the park's unique and picturesque landscapes.


Welcoming a New Life

Most recently, we had the pleasure of photographing their maternity shoot in October 2023 at the Rhode Island Sand Dunes. This session marked another significant chapter in their lives, capturing the anticipation and excitement as they prepared to welcome a new member to their family.

The Value of Consistency

Choosing the same photographer to capture life’s key moments brings significant benefits. For one, it creates a sense of comfort and familiarity that’s hard to replicate. With Josh and Lizzie, this ease was already in place, resulting in more natural and relaxed photos. They didn’t have to start over with someone new, explaining their preferences or adjusting to a different photography style.

In addition, a consistent photography style ensures a cohesive visual narrative throughout all of life’s milestones. From their engagement and wedding to their newborn session, the photos flow seamlessly together, creating a unified story that beautifully reflects their journey. This continuity holds even greater significance for future generations, offering a timeless keepsake of the family’s history.

Being part of Josh and Lizzie's story during these pivotal moments has been incredibly special. It highlights the true value of having a consistent photographer—someone who not only captures beautiful images but also understands the essence of your journey.
