Daniel + Chelsea

The Bohlin

Newport, RI

One thing’s for sure: Dan and Chelsea know how to throw a party! Our wedding photography and videography team had a blast at this bright summer wedding! This fun-loving couple had an effortless wedding day seeing all that Newport, Rhode Island had to offer! They took on the nautical town by trolley and hit some classic Newport landmark spots for their wedding photos and wedding film! After starting the day at RaNew Salon, we were able to have their first look photographed at the elegant and beautiful Salve Regina University! After saying “I Do” at The Bohlin, they were whisked away to the sailing docks to take a quick breath and get some beautiful photos along the water! After this, it was straight to the tent reception that they had all been waiting for! Our bride and groom danced the night away, and our photo and video team was there to catch all of the best moments! We hope you enjoy!

“I wish I could give 10 stars! I am so happy that we found the team at Move Mountains Co. to be our photographers and videographer for our special day. Our engagement session with Sean was awesome because it gave us an opportunity to meet each other before the big day and for him to get to know our personalities. Nicole, the Studio Manager, was great to work with, as she was quick to respond via e-mail and always available to answer my never ending questions over the phone. Day-of shooters were Sean and Tiahna and they were so great, especially because they patient with our large bridal party, which at times was a rowdy crew!”

Glen manor house

portsmouth, ri 

Dan and Sarah's wedding at the Glen Manor House was not one to miss! After photographing their engagement session at Fort Wetherill in Jamestown, Rhode Island a few weeks prior, we couldn’t wait to see them again at their mid-summer wedding in Portsmouth, Rhode Island! Our team had the pleasure of shooting both photography and videography on their sophisticated day! Since they took advantage of having an engagement session, when it came time for their wedding they were naturally calm and super comfortable in front of the camera. There were no nerves to be seen! Beyond the bright, beautiful weather and gorgeous venue, Dan and Sarah’s chemistry was unmatched and unforgettable. Their custom ceremony vows and the support expressed in their family’s speeches spoke so eloquently of their five-year journey to this day! We’re honored to retell their story to you today, take a look!

CASTLE HILL INN

NEWPORT, RI

Photographing some weddings are just a dream! Peter and Jean’s wedding at Castle Hill Inn happened to be one of those. Sometimes as wedding photographers we get the perfect mix of a sweet couple, a chic feel, and perfect weather!

Soft details complimented their tangible love all throughout the day. Peter and Jean booked Sean and Tiahna for “I Do Too” wedding photography package. You can meet them, and the rest of the team here. The bright sun tends to bring intense exposures and crisp shadows, which can be a challenge for shooting wedding portraits. But for this couple, our team knew how to make it work! The light complimented them perfectly, creating bold but beautiful photos on this memorable day! We can’t get enough of Newport!

Top 5 Engagement Shoot Locations in Rhode Island

Couples can sometimes get caught up on choosing a location for their engagement shoot (whether you should have an engagement shoot is another blog post for another time, the short answer is, yes.) This blog post compiles of some of our favorite places to date!

When choosing a spot, we like to first defer to the couple as to what they like: nature, the city, their home, etc. Personally, we love nature and we've found that Rhode Island has plenty of versatile spots from the cliffs of Jamestown to the trails of The Audubon Society.

Botanical Gardens

Providence, RI

You really can't beat the Botanical Gardens in Roger Williams Park. There's nowhere else like it, and can be shot in year round which helps for those wintery sessions, not to mention that the light is always great!
