The Cove Cabin at Mount Hope Farm is rustic, relaxed and right on the water. Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed 20+ weddings at the Cove Cabin since 2018, 5+ of them between 2024 and 2026. We know the walk down to the cove, the fields and stone walls of the farm, and how the tent glows on Mount Hope Bay at night.
A cabin by the cove, and the open bay
Mount Hope Farm is a historic 127-acre property in Bristol on Mount Hope Bay, with roots in the Pokanoket Nation and Governor Bradford's farm. The Cove Cabin is its seasonal waterfront setting, open May through October, with a floored tent beside the bay. In one of our favorite posts we wrote that "from shots by the cabin to moments by the cove, every frame captured their joy and the rustic elegance of the day."
We're proud to be on Mount Hope Farm's preferred vendor list. The farm's team takes wonderful care of this special place and of the couples who celebrate there.
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.
