Kimaya's 5th Birthday at Malagueta Mediterranean Family Restuarant | Children's Birthday Party Photographer Johannesburg

-
We met Kimaya and her family last year when we were first starting out. One of the best things about photographing parties for repeat clients, is that we get to marvel over how each of the kiddies has grown. Kimaya turned five and was still the cheerful and bright little lass we met last year. Her party was held at the Malagueta Mediterranean family restaurant in Edenvale. It's such a lovely place for children and the beautiful foliage in the background definitely adds to the charm. Thanks Kubeshnie for calling on us to photograph Kimaya's party once again.

  I photograph events for a living, but it's not the pretty decor or perfect lighting that sticks with me—it's the speeches. The awkward, the heartfelt, the hilarious, and the downright tear-jerking. This piece is a love letter to those moments when someone grabs the mic, ditches the script, and speaks from the heart—reminding us all why we gather in the first place. Whether it’s a 21st birthday or a backyard wedding, a great speech hits harder than any photo ever could. Here's why I live for them—and why every event needs one. Ashleigh Seton-Rogers Look, not only do I love photographing events, but I'm also a sucker for good human-made prose, and nothing beats a great speech at an event, right?

While it’s everyone's worst nightmare, I feel it's a must at any decent gathe...
