Newport, Rhode Island
Newport Wedding Photographer & Videographer
Newport, Boston and beyond.
Newport is home. Move Mountains Co. is a wedding photography and videography studio in Providence, about 45 minutes up the road, and we've photographed and filmed 300+ weddings at our six featured Newport-area venues alone, from Gilded Age mansions on Bellevue Avenue to waterfront lawns on Narragansett Bay.
Newport weddings, documented by the team that knows them
Newport weddings move fast. Summer traffic downtown, ceremonies on ocean lawns where the wind changes by the hour, mansion ballrooms that go from daylight to candlelight, and a golden hour you only get once. We've planned enough of these days to know where the light falls at each venue, how long it takes to get across town in July, and when to step back so the biggest moments happen on their own.
Every photo on this page comes from one Newport wedding: Michael + Dassah's January celebration at Rosecliff. A ceremony under white roses, families cheering, a chair lift beneath the chandeliers and a kiss at the ballroom doors while guests waved ribbon wands. Real moments, in a room built for them.
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.
Michael + Dassah at Rosecliff
A January evening on Bellevue Avenue: a ceremony under a canopy of white roses, a chair lift in the gilded ballroom and a send-off through a tunnel of ribbon wands at the Rosecliff doors. Press play for the film; every photo on this page is from the same wedding. See more at our Rosecliff venue guide.
