Rhode Island Wedding Photographer - Kelsey Sheehan

Hi, I’m Kelsey!

Behind the lens

I'm a Rhode Island wedding photographer specializing in classic, heartfelt, true-to-color imagery that lets you relive your wedding day for decades to come. Whether you're saying 'I do' with sweeping Newport coastal views or celebrating in a historic New England venue, I’ll capture your love story in a way that feels effortless and true to you.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai, coaching kids’ classes, baking up something sweet, or tackling my latest home project (even if it means getting my hands a little dirty).

I believe that love is in the details. I love being outdoors, finding beauty in the little things, and capturing love stories that stand the test of time. I’m here to document yours in a way that feels effortless, authentic, and uniquely you.

Let’s create something beautiful together!

Client Love:

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.

Ryan & Mario
Kelsey is one of a kind! When we saw the pictures I almost cried - she captured such genuine moments. She is highly professional, friendly, accommodating, and just a fun person to be around.

I absolutely love Kelsey. She's such a sweetheart and a calming presence. We just got our sneak peeks from our wedding and I was screaming because I was so blown away with how amazing the photos turned out. 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!
