Alexia & Xavier's Four-ever Wild Party | Professional Event Photographer | Ashleigh Rose Photography

-

Alexia and Xavier celebrated their 4th Birthday with a 'Fourever Wild' themed party and it was an absolute treat for the eyes. With a safari theme evident in all the details, there were oohs and aahs as guests arrived and took in the delightful display. The most excited at the prospect of having lots of fun, were definitely the Birthday twins. Dressed for the occasion, Xavi made a beeline for the jumping castle and Lex posed next to her cake for us. 
 
Both kiddies may be twins, but their personalities are vastly different. We've known this sprightly pair since they were tiny bumps in their mom's tummy and over time we've witnessed how both children have blossomed and come into their own. For all their differences, one thing is for sure, they're both gorgeous. Big, bright eyes and heart-stopping smiles. Family and friends were all on hand to celebrate and dote over the twins. One thing is for sure, together with the devotion and love of their parents, these 4-year olds will never be short on hugs and kisses. With other activities such as face painting and balloon modelling, everyone had a ball. 
 
Thank you Chantal for calling on us to capture moments from this beautiful occasion. We really cherish this time with you. Enjoy your sneak peeks.

The Power of a Great Speech: What I’ve Learned Photographing Events | Ashleigh Rose Photography

  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? Let's be real though—who actually likes public speaking? Very few people in fact it’s probably no. 3 of most people’s phobia – one being fear of spiders and the second, losing one’s phone. While it’s everyone's worst nightmare, I feel it's a must at any decent gathe...
