Wedding Venues
New England is home to some of the most timeless and emotionally rich wedding venues in the country, from coastal estates in Newport to historic mansions, waterfront properties, and destination style settings throughout Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and beyond. My approach to photographing weddings is rooted in presence, allowing couples to fully live their day while I document the story as it naturally unfolds.
Below you’ll find a curated collection of wedding venues where I frequently photograph, along with the New England regions I serve most often. Each venue and location is paired with real wedding imagery, planning insight, and resources to help you envision how your day could feel and photograph in these spaces.
Glen Manor House feels like stepping into a French countryside estate along the Rhode Island coast. With its manicured gardens, waterfront views, and classic ballroom reception space, it is perfect for couples who want an elegant, storybook setting that still feels relaxed and intimate. The grounds offer endless portrait variety while still allowing the day to flow naturally and comfortably.
Rosecliff is one of Newport’s most recognizable Gilded Age mansions, known for its grand staircase, ocean views, and light-filled ballroom. Weddings here feel both historic and celebratory, with space for sweeping portraits while still creating intimate, emotional moments throughout the day. It is especially stunning for couples drawn to timeless Newport elegance with an editorial edge.
Wychmere is one of Cape Cod’s most sought-after waterfront wedding venues, offering private beach access, ocean views, and a light-filled reception space overlooking the water. The coastal light here is incredibly soft and romantic, making it ideal for couples who want that classic Cape Cod coastal wedding feel with a polished, elevated finish.
Aldrich Mansion is one of Rhode Island’s most iconic estate wedding venues, offering waterfront views, historic architecture, and a timeless, European-inspired atmosphere. The light here shifts beautifully throughout the day, from soft coastal ceremony light to dramatic golden hour portraits along the shoreline. I’ve photographed multiple weddings here, and it consistently allows couples to stay present while creating refined, heirloom-worthy imagery.

Hi, I’m Kelsey!
I believe in the power of presence. That belief comes from personal experience. I've seen how quickly moments become memories and how meaningful photographs can be when the people in them are no longer in the room. It changed the way I value being present and the way I approach documenting the people we love.
Because of that, I photograph wedding days with a calm, guided documentary approach. I focus on real connection, the relationships around you, and the moments that often pass quietly but matter most. I guide when it's helpful, step back when moments deserve space, and work intentionally so your day never feels rushed or staged.
Based in Rhode Island and serving New England and destinations.
