CANDICE + BARRY // RUSTICO HAY SHED HILL WEDDING
What made you decide to invest in wedding videography?
​
Initially we weren't going to use a videographer at all but while discussing this with friends that had gotten married they had told us that we'd be mad not to as they'd done it and it was amazing. We'd be able to watch it again down the track to relive the amazing day and show Hudson what he was up to on such a special day for him mum n dad as no doubt being 3 at the time he'll have no recollection of the day at all.
​​
​
Why did you choose Castle Media?
​​
We didn't really have a choice as yourself and Simone are a package deal and after the 2 of you getting highly recommended by a mate that used both of your services and showed me your work it would've been ridiculous to even look elsewhere.
​
​
What do you do?..How do you spend your days?..What's important in life?
​
Candice runs the household while i'm away for work, she does online picking for Woolies and as if that's not busy enough she also has to chase our little man around the house making sure he get everything required to grow and thrive all while also having to deal with a crazy Vizsla named Darcy that doesn't have any idea what personal space and boundaries are hahahaha.
I work away on an 8/6 roster as a shutdown mechanical planner so once i get home we all enjoy going on adventures as a family to make awesome memories, work in the gardens and around the house together.

​
The proposal...
​
We were all down South staying in an Airbnb on a lake for our anniversary. We went out for a lovely lunch as a little family to a vineyard and once we got back we all started to just relax, while Hudson was hanging off 1 hip on Candice i snuck off to our room and grabbed the ring and stuck it in a pocket. While walking back into the lounge area i started telling Candice how much i loved her and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her......she was facing the other way and as she turned around i was down on 1 knee with the box lid open and ring on show....... She was a little set aback to say the least and with cheezel dust covering her fingers I had to give them a clean before slipping the ring on her finger. we then went out and sat on the veranda and started making calls to the close friends and family to give them the good news.
​
​
The venue? Why Rustico Hay Shed Hill above anywhere else?
​
We'd been to a few venues and none of them had everything that we wanted in the 1 place, Rustico ticked every box aside from the accommodation on site and that's something we just had to deal with as the positives of the venue far outweighed that point. The Vineyard and the surrounds are absolutely stunning, the food WOWEE that's next level amazing and the the actual restaurant / reception area is amazing so why would we chose anywhere else.
The staff are are also so very welcoming and willing to please so our guests will have an amazing experience overall and hopefully come back to the place another time.​
​
What experience do you want to give your guests?
​
We are hoping that everyone has an absolutely awesome time as it's in essence just a party and who doesn't love a good party where you get fed, boozed up and you don't need to clean up after woods hahahaha
Life long memories I hope will be made by everyone that attends.
