Hi, I’m Kelsey!

Behind the lens

At Kelsey Sheehan Photography, I specialize in documenting romantic, genuine, and timeless wedding celebrations in Newport, Rhode Island, and across the globe. My passion lies in preserving the raw emotions and unforgettable moments of your wedding day, so you can relive the joy and love for years to come through stunning photographs and heirloom-quality albums.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m often elbow-deep in flour baking —fun fact, I can tell when something’s perfectly baked just by the smell! I also love coaching kids’ kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, training in Muay Thai, or tackling DIY projects around my home. I take pride in rolling up my sleeves and getting things done. And whenever I can, I’m traveling to new places.

I bring the same dedication and attention to detail to your wedding day. You can relax knowing that Kelsey Sheehan Photography will be there to capture every heartfelt moment of your special day.

Meet your new best friend

Kind words:

My fiancé and I were blessed with the opportunity to get our engagement pictures taken with Kelsey. The moments she captured were so special. She made us feel comfortable from the start & really made us fall deeper in love during our shoot. I can’t emphasize enough that she is the best! We were blown away when we saw the sneak peeks. She is more than a photographer she’s an artist.

Tanya & Richard
Kelsey is so genuine… working with her was a true experience and not just a session. She is so kind and fun I would often forget that we were her clients. I feel I have found a friend in her throughout! She has an amazing eye for the little details and did a spectacular job on our shoot. It perfectly captured such a happy moment in time for us and I will forever cherish and look back on our pics.

Stephanie & Andrew
The experience was nothing short of amazing. Kelsey captured the essence of our love and the beauty of the city in every shot. The attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism were outstanding. We felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire session, which translated into stunning, natural-looking photos. The final results left us in awe; they were simply breathtaking.

I absolutely love Kelsey. She's such a sweetheart and a calming presence.

Kelsey will forever be our photographer for every event and important moment in my husband and I's life!! 5/5 stars!! More like 10/5 stars if that were possible!
