OUR STORY
Thanks for checking out 4 EYES PHOTOGRAPHY
We are Kellie Walsh & Rupert Rogers and we're the "4 eyes" in our company name...and the Principal Photographers' and owners of 4 Eyes Photography ( 4EP).
We're also a couple... and so partners in photography & in life !
We both have extensive backgrounds in New York Fashion, Commercial, Advertising & Stock photography. Back in 2001 we met at a photo industry party, quickly became a couple... and eventually decided to team up and work together on photography assignments & Weddings.
Our plan was to shake up the image of dull, predictable, traditional Wedding photography and approach every wedding as if it were an individual assignment to capture the essence and atmosphere of the day - with our 4 Eyesconstantly scanning the action for candid or romantic moments.
In 2001 we opened our studio, in the heart of Manhattan's Flatiron Photo District in New York City. Our Mission Statement was simple - ' consistently produce authentic, modern, and elegant imagery, with a fashion edge, for clients with a demanding and discerning eye'. ( Oh yeah - and have fun doing it ! )
We feel SO lucky to have been photographing amazing Weddings, Fashion shoots, Galas & Events and custom Portraiture for a diverse array of Celebrities, Small Businesses, Corporations and Magazines around the World ever since.
We're honored to have been asked to capture the Weddings of everyone from eloping couples to events of all shapes & sizes- including the high profile nuptials of celebrities like TV & Film Actress Alyssa Milano, ABC TV Anchor Stephanie Sy, Fox / Bloomberg TV News Anchor Lisa Murphy , ‘Arrow’ TV Star ( and daughter of Pop Star David) Katie Cassidy ...and the star-studded wedding celebration of ABC TV's Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts !
We believe all photography is story telling. We’re proud to have over 20 years experience telling stylish, fun, gorgeous 'stories' around the World, through our photography. Shooting as a team, we remain committed to blending our backgrounds in high-end luxury Fashion & Advertising Photography to create captivating, stunning imagery for our clients.
Kellie’s extensive experience in Commercial and Fashion photography gives her an eye for beauty in all things. She knows how to skillfully direct a shoot - & make you look good.
Rupert’s background in Advertising & Stock Photography draws him to the detail and the message of an image - always with an eye for all those decisive, candid moments that must be captured to tell the story.
Together we make an unmatched team for your wedding or photography assignment. 4 Eyes Photography.
It’s been an extraordinary and successful journey, and we’ve shot hundreds of amazing weddings together and have a roster of loyal commercial clients.
We are proud to have our photography featured in VOGUE, Cosmopolitan, Town & Country, Harpers Bazaar, Martha Stewart Weddings, New York Magazine, Wedding Wire, Real Simple, The New York Times, Style Me Pretty, The Knot, Miami Herald and many others - including the cover of Grace Ormonde Weding Style Magazine - 4 times !

KELLIE WALSH, PRINCIPAL PHOTOGRAPHER
"I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, and I found my passion and love for photography in college—where I first picked up a camera—and I never looked back. I have been a professional photographer my entire working life. I just loved the way I became an observer, experiencing the world through the lens. Learning to see the play of light and shadow in a landscape or the feeling of interconnectivity when shooting a portrait or a wedding.
I still remember how excited I got watching a print emerge from the chemicals in a dark room (yes, I learned with film)—and the thrill of seeing what I had photographed! Having that
moment in time, forever captured. I loved spending hours in the dark room, mastering the craft of the print.
Now, years later and the medium is digital, the same thrill is there, as I watch the files input into the computer. The excitement of seeing the faces and the moments again, reliving the experience of connecting with a client at a wedding or photo shoot.
In 2001, my life partner Rupert and I created 4 Eyes Photography. With our different but complimentary photography backgrounds, aesthetics and styles, we crafted a unique approach to capturing our subjects. Clients love that we’re a couple and work as a team to document their day. I love that I can draw upon my experience as a fashion and commercial photographer to direct the portraits, while knowing Rupert is there to capture the candid, unscripted moments.
I feel so honored and fortunate to be a part of both a successful Wedding & Event Photography company and a Fashion & Business photo studio ( Kellie Walsh Photography ) here in New York City. I'm so thrilled for the opportunity to photograph and connect to Brides and Grooms and clients all over the globe.
I also teach photography to students one-on-one in my studio and at a private academy. It’s so much fun to teach kids how to find their own personal 'vision' using the camera—passing on the thrill I had first experienced.
I could never be anything other than a photographer. It has defined me for years. I’m great at making people feel relaxed and drawing out their true essence. Even without a camera in my hand, I see so much detail and beauty in the world. I am so grateful that I had found my true passion so many years ago." - Kellie Walsh

RUPERT ROGERS, PRINCIPAL PHOTOGRAPHER
"I was born in Northampton, England and spent two years traveling the World - exploring Africa, Europe, India, South East Asia, Australia and the Pacific, visiting over 40 countries along the way. I wrote and photographed the entire time and developed a passion for photography. This period of observation and emersion in so many cultures really shaped and sharpened my eye for detail and understanding of the diversity and beauty in the world.
After living and working in London, Sydney and San Francisco, I decided to settle in Greenwich Village, New York City. Where else but the ultimate melting pot of cultures ? I began a career in professional photography, spending over ten years at Manhattan Advertising & Commercial Photography Agencies Comstock Photography and later as Managing Director of both Nonstock Photography and Popwire.
I met Kellie in 1998 at a photo industry party in NYC. Through a mutual love of fun, life, travel and photography, we quickly became a couple. In 2001, we decided to start a new adventure together and merge our fashion and advertising photo backgrounds and shoot together, with a shared vision, opening our own studio - 4 Eyes Photography , in the heart of Manhattan's Flatiron District.
After shooting 1000's of weddings & photography assignments around the world we are still thrilled every day we get to do this for a living!
Since we began, we’ve always encouraged new talent through our Intern and Assistant Programs, and have put together a great group of Team Photographers that are available for Weddings & Events, as well as In-house Album Designers and Photo Booth Photographers - all available through our studio.
When I’m not shooting for clients or fun, I still love to travel and have a passion for live music, theatre, comedy and politics ….and spending time with Kellie in our old 1800’s Victorian house near the Hudson River with our labradoodles Winston & Bernie and a good cigar!" - Rupert Rogers
