Capturing a Lifetime: Danilo + Andrea's Journey with Move Mountains Co.

At Move Mountains Co., we are honored to capture life’s most treasured moments, crafting timeless memories that reflect each couple’s unique story. One such story is that of Danilo and Andrea, whose journey we’ve documented since Danilo’s proposal in 2018. From their engagement and couples portrait session to their wedding, and most recently, their maternity shoot in 2021, being part of these significant chapters in their lives has been a truly special experience. It highlights the value of having the same photographer to preserve these cherished memories across life’s milestones.

Where it all started

Our journey with Danilo and Andrea began in the heart of Times Square in December 2018. Amid the dazzling holiday lights and bustling energy of New York City, Danilo got down on one knee and proposed to Andrea, creating a moment as unforgettable as their love. Capturing this milestone marked the start of a beautiful story that we’ve had the privilege to document.

Engagement Session

In February 2019, we had the joy of photographing Danilo and Andrea’s engagement session at the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill, the very place they would later choose for their wedding. The lush greenery and serene atmosphere provided the perfect contrast to the winter chill outside, creating a dreamy and romantic backdrop for their photos. Surrounded by vibrant plants and natural beauty, their connection and love shone through in every frame, making it a truly magical session to capture.

From Engagement to Wedding

In June 2019, Danilo and Andrea returned to the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill to celebrate their wedding, turning the same beautiful location from their engagement session into the setting for their “I do’s.” Surrounded by blooming gardens and the warm glow of summer, their special day was a perfect reflection of their love story—elegant, vibrant, and full of joy. From heartfelt vows to a lively reception, every moment was a testament to their deep connection and the beginning of their next chapter together.

Welcoming a New Life

In September 2021, we reunited with Danilo and Andrea for a heartwarming maternity and baby announcement photo session. The session beautifully captured their excitement and love as they prepared to welcome their little one. From tender moments to joyful smiles, every photo celebrated this new chapter in their journey, marking yet another milestone in the story we’ve been privileged to document since the very beginning.

The Value of Consistency

Having the same photographer capture life’s most significant moments brings unmatched benefits. For Danilo and Andrea, the journey from their Times Square proposal to their engagement, wedding, and maternity sessions has been built on a foundation of trust and familiarity. This comfort allowed them to feel at ease in front of the camera, resulting in natural, authentic moments that truly reflect their love story.

Beyond the comfort, there’s the beauty of a consistent photographic style. From their winter engagement session at the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill to their summer wedding and heartfelt maternity shoot, every image aligns harmoniously, creating a cohesive collection that tells their unique story. This continuity will become a treasured part of their family’s history, cherished for generations to come.

A Special Connection

Documenting Danilo and Andrea’s journey has been a reminder of the special bond that forms when a photographer is part of a couple’s life through multiple milestones. It’s a relationship built on trust, understanding, and shared experiences. For us at Move Mountains Co., it’s not just about capturing moments—it’s about creating a visual legacy that celebrates love, growth, and the beauty of life’s most cherished chapters.

Today, we’re switching things up on the blog with a proposal shoot we did a few weeks back. This one felt extra special for us, because they are 2 of our dear friends here at Move Mountains Co. Alfredo + Paige are 2 of the most fun-loving and thoughtful people who you’ll always find with genuine smiles on their faces. They both have a special gift to make people feel cared for and deeply loved. So it was only fitting for Alfredo to propose in one of their favorite cities, Providence, Rhode Island, surrounded by friends who are more like family.

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!

Josh + Lizzie

Goose Rocks Beach

Kennebunkport, Maine

This past weekend, our wedding photography team bundled up and made the journey to Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport, Maine for our most recent adventure! We braved the brisk winter breeze and caught some romantic golden hour beach photos for this surprise engagement session! This wasn’t your average wedding proposal, but this wasn’t your average couple either! It was such an honor to photograph one of our own team members, Josh, as he proposed to his fiancé, Lizzie! Josh is one of our multifaceted creatives on our wedding team, specializing in wedding photography, wedding videography, graphic design, AND he’s one of our drone pilots! Josh has been with us since the beginning, and we’re so excited for him as he enters into this exciting new season! Congratulations, you two!

Move Mountains Co. is by FAR the best wedding photography/videography services in Rhode Island, if not the entire East coast. The camera crew not only feels like family at the end of the wedding, but works hard to get to know the bride, groom, family and guests. I found myself at the wedding standing and talking to each photographer individually for a good chunk of time - each and every one has a heart of gold...I will never forget these guys and I will forever recommend them to anyone getting married. There is nothing better than not worrying about your big day and getting the calming attention of your photographers. Not to mention the enthusiasm when amazing photos are taken - these guys really do love what they do and they make the biggest effort to help you love your wedding day!
