Chequessett Club Wedding Photography
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
The Chequessett Club sits atop the bluffs of Wellfleet Harbor on the Outer Cape, with its own beach, a long wooden dock and a barn-style Boathouse on the water. Move Mountains Co. photographed Kyle + Alexandra's wedding here: vows beneath a wooden arch on the sand, portraits on the dock and the dune stairs, and a cozy Boathouse reception to close the night.
Beach vows, a Boathouse reception
The Club, formally Chequessett Yacht & Country Club, is at 680 Chequessett Neck Road in Wellfleet. Its Boathouse has hardwood floors, exposed beams and a full bar, plus a tented deck looking out over Wellfleet Harbor and Great Island. Beach ceremonies are set where the tide allows, so every wedding here feels a little different.
The Chequessett team keeps a small, coastal wedding feeling relaxed and personal, and it's a joy to photograph somewhere this peaceful.
Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed weddings across Newport, Boston and beyond for 10 years. We're a preferred vendor at 100+ New England venues, a ten-time The Knot Best of Weddings winner and a member of The Knot Hall of Fame.
