Newport Beach House Wedding Photographer & Videographer
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
Newport Beach House puts your wedding right on the sand. Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed 40+ weddings at this oceanfront venue, so we know how to handle bright beach light, a sea breeze during the vows and the glow of the ballroom once the sun goes down.
A wedding venue on the sand
Newport Beach House is a Longwood Venues property at 3 Aquidneck Avenue in Middletown, Rhode Island, on the beach at the edge of Newport. Couples can marry outdoors on the lawn facing the ocean or indoors, then move to the ballroom and terraces for the reception, with the beach a few steps from the door.
The beach gives you something most venues can't: open sky, waves and a long stretch of sand for portraits. Inside, big windows and a modern coastal ballroom keep the ocean in the frame all evening. We plan your coverage to use both.
Move Mountains Co. is a Northeast wedding photo and video team based in Providence. We've photographed and filmed weddings across Newport, Boston and beyond for 10 years, we're a preferred vendor at 100+ New England venues, and we're a ten-time The Knot Best of Weddings winner and a member of The Knot Hall of Fame.

Planning your Newport Beach House wedding timeline
- 1
Getting ready
Many couples get ready at a nearby Newport or Middletown hotel; we plan travel time so you arrive relaxed.
- 2
First look
A first look on the sand gives you a quiet moment and frees up time later.
- 3
Ceremony
Ask the venue about outdoor and indoor ceremony options, and confirm the rain plan early.

Portraits
Plan for golden hour on the beach; the light softens beautifully late in the day.

Wind
Beach breezes are part of the fun. Bring a few bobby pins and consider a veil weight; we'll work with the wind, not against it.

Reception
Give us a few minutes in the ballroom before guests enter to photograph the room and your details.
