Photography at the Newport Mansions

As a general rule, interior photography in the properties of the Preservation Society is not allowed.  Visitors are permitted and encouraged to take exterior photographs to remember their trip to the Newport Mansions, but may not take photographs during tours inside any house.

Every visitor who purchases and uses a ticket to visit the buildings and grounds accepts this limitation implicitly.  Members, guests of members, persons visiting on passes or escorted as members of tour groups and fam tours agree to the same limitations. Under no circumstance may photos taken under these licenses be used for commercial purposes or distributed to stock photography houses.

Commercial and editorial photography may be permitted with advance arrangement, a written permission agreement and appropriate insurance documentation.  Notable films from True Lies to The Great Gatsby to Amistad have been shot here. Top networks and producers from ABC to the Travel Channel have produced programs and segments in and around these stately and enchanting grounds. Commercial photography for many applications can also be arranged, along with wedding photography.

Requests for commercial or film photography should be directed to the Preservation Society's Special Events office via email to Events@NewportMansions.org, or call (401) 847-1000 ext 120.

Editorial photography requests (ie, to accompany travel articles featuring the Newport Mansions) should be directed to Communications Manager Andrea Carneiro via email to acarneiro@NewportMansions.org, or (401) 847-1000 ext 131.
