ASHLEE + ROBERT // CHURCH OF ST. NIKOLA WEDDING
What made you decide to invest in wedding videography?
​
Our wedding day is going to be a big day filled with a lot of cultural traditions and special moments that we would love to have captured so that we can relive them in the future.
​
​
Why did you choose Castle Media?
​
We loved the idea of having a videography and photography dream team in you and Simone. Knowing that you and Simone have worked together to capture many amazing weddings made us sure we were making the right choice.
​
​
What do you do?..How do you spend your days?..What's important in life?
​
Rob is a Financial Controller and Ashlee works in Admin & Marketing. We both love sport (especially AFL) and good food so our weekends are usually filled with watching sport over a few drinks and food. Our friends and family are very important to us and we love spending time with them.

​
The proposal...
​
It was on the second day of our 5 week Europe trip in 2023. We went to the Copenhagen Botanic Gardens early in the morning when it was quiet. We were looking out over a beautiful pond and Rob got down on one knee and proposed. Ashlee, in the midst of crying from happiness, was so concerned with that we were getting in the way of the lady behind us taking pictures of plants - not realising that Rob had hired her to capture the proposal!
​
​
The venue? Why St Nikola and Chapel Farm Estate above anywhere else?
​
The Macedonian Orthodox Church of St Nikola is where a lot of Macedonian wedding ceremonies take place in Perth. It has a beautiful interior and a welcoming atmosphere created by Father Stanko
For our reception venue we always knew that we wanted it to be in the Swan Valley. As soon as we walked in to Chapel Farm Estate we knew it was our venue. The vibe and aesthetic was exactly what we were looking for and suited us perfectly as a couple.
​
​
What experience do you want to give your guests?
​
All we want on our wedding day is for all of our guests to be happy and have fun while celebrating our big day with us. We want to give them the experience of a traditional Macedonian ceremony to honour the culture of Rob's family followed by good food, good drinks and good music at the reception while we dance the night away.
