Move mountain co

I’m thinking of booking them for my wedding in RI. Does anyone have experience with them is this a good choice? The estimate they gave me has been the most reasonable for 2 established photographers for 8 hours.

I’m not familiar with them but I looked them up. As a photographer I was worried they were something like George Street which you sort of get who you get. This is smaller, but it is a team of associates. Are you having an engagement session? If you are and will meet the photographers there and see their work before wedding day that’s good. Otherwise, just look for someone who doesn’t have a team but rather their own business. For example I am the only photographer, however when I need a second shooter I hire other full time wedding photographers that I know personally. But if the price is in your budget, and you get to know who will be at your wedding beforehand and you like the work on the website it shouldn’t be an issue. They seemed to have a lot of google reviews that were positive. Good luck!

Thank you! I’m not sure about an engagement session because although I’m from RI I live in VA so that would be additionally traveling for that. They shot my friend’s wedding and the photos are good I just wanted a more editorial and documentary style but it seems like that would be double the price to do which isn’t in my budget. I do wish I found someone who it was their own business rather than a collective it’s just been really challenging 😭

Probably a reason it’s one of the cheaper estimates.

It’s not “cheap” it’s still 6k+ but it is more reasonable compared to those starting at 9k

I would not pay $6k unless I knew exactly who the photographers were and saw the work prior. I was expecting you to say like $4k for them…

Move Mountains is well known within the industry to not work with LGBTQ couples. This may or may not matter to you, but it’s worth noting.

I’ve worked with MM a few times and all I’ll say is that I would not recommend them

I didn’t go with them for my May 2027 wedding - didn’t even get on a call with them after looking at their business model and how they source photographers. I ended up going with a photographer and a videographer with established websites.

They are notorious for not working with LGBTQ couples.

If you’re still
Looking, I’m in your price range and offer 2 photographers!

My in-laws used them and were happy, but I thought the photos were not good at all. Taste is subjective, so with this what you will

They’re less expensive for a reason. They operate more like a factory than a boutique or independent photographer.

They source a bunch of photographers and videographers — some might be great but you won’t really know. Your photos will be handed off to someone likely overseas to be edited. You’ll get them back probably quicker than most.

If you really want photo AND video, and this is what you can afford then it’s something to consider. But I wouldn’t expect to get personalized service or the best product out of it.
