ASHLEIGH + TIM // SITTELLA WINERY WEDDING
What made you decide to invest in wedding videography?
Capturing the moments of the day, in particular the ceremony, so that we can look back and watch it over for years to come.
We also have a lot of family and friends overseas in Canada, The Netherlands and Belgium that we wanted to share the special day with.
Why did you choose Castle Media?
Simone was our photographer who recommended you and then after meeting with you we were very comfortable with you as a videographer. We were also very happy with how you and Simone have worked together previously and work well and gel together.
What do you do?..How do you spend your days?..What's important in life?
We both work full-time, Tim is an engineer and Ash works in insurance, we enjoy travelling, going for walks, spending time with our cat Luigi.
For us we find it important to spend quality time together amongst very busy working/social lives and try our best to prioritize that. We both love to joke around, go out for drinks together, and generally just have a fun time.
The proposal ...Tell me everything...
Tim proposed in December 2019, he had asked Ash to look for rings with him previously and she spent months waiting for him to propose even enduring a 20 kilometer hike at Wilson's Prom in Victoria thinking it was going to happen then, for Christmas that year we decided to go to Bali and we went to the island Gilli T. Tim suggested we go watch the sunset on the beach which we love doing on holiday. He wore his best shirt, a button up shirt with parrots and birds all over it. We walked to the beach and all-day Tim was acting weird, Ash thought he was hungover from the shots she made him take the night before. When we got to the beach, Tim took off his sunnies and Ash's too and got down on one knee and asked Ash to marry him, of course it was a yes!! Afterwards we celebrated with mango margaritas at the beach and toasted to our future together!
The venue? Why Sittella above anywhere else?
We went to the wedding expo in 2022 and looked at the venues, after seeing a couple, we went to Sittella and Tim looked at Ash and said I think this is the place we should get married. We liked the gazebo, the vines in the background and that the reception would be on the balcony overlooking all of that.
What experience do you want to give your guests?
FUN & LOUD!
We wanted to have a small & intimate ceremony followed by a fun and loud dance party with all of our closest friends and family.
