KIARA + ANDREW // STONEBARN WEDDING
What made you decide to invest in wedding videography?
​
Memories will last you forever and although we already have a photographer, being able to capture moments in video allows us to revisit and look back on memories in clearer details, as if we could relive them. We also thought videos would be a great idea particularly for things like our first dance, or capturing speeches so we can remember important messages people have said on the day.
The capturing of video and music on our special day creates a wholesome magical moment that we can share to our loved ones and future generations.

Why did you choose Castle Media?
I was drawn to the stories you tell in your short Instagram posts. Each one captures such genuine moments and emotions. When I saw your work, I immediately thought about how perfect you would be for our wedding. Your videos feels authentic and heartfelt, which I hope that you'll capture on our day.

Andrew
I really enjoy playing video games, Whether I’m teaming up with friends for a multiplayer adventure or exploring a captivating single-player campaign, gaming is a fun way for me to unwind and challenge myself.
Kiara
I really enjoy reading, as it opens up entire worlds and perspectives. . There's something magical about getting lost in a good book. I love the fantasy genre, give me anything with dragons!
Andrew & Kiara
Hiking and spending time in nature are especially fulfilling for us. There’s something rejuvenating about being outdoors, surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Whether it’s a challenging trail or a leisurely walk, we love the sense of adventure that comes with exploring new terrains.
Camping also holds a special place in our hearts. It’s a wonderful way to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with nature. We enjoy setting up camp, roasting marshmallows over the fire, and stargazing at night.
Above all, hanging out with families and our cats is what we cherish the most. Whether we’re having a game night, going for a hike, or simply enjoying a meal together, those moments strengthen our bonds and create lasting memories. All of these brings us joy especially if we are with each other.

The proposal...
​
I had planned an exciting surprise for Kiara. I managed to book leave from her boss without her knowing and told her we were going down south for a little getaway. But the real destination was New Zealand! I had everything lined up for a two-week adventure filled with breathtaking scenery and unforgettable experiences. Especially seeing Hobbiton.
On one of our hikes, we had an unexpected and amusing encounter—three chickens decided to follow us! It was such a unique moment, especially since there was no one else around. The quirky company made the hike feel even more special. That’s actually where I proposed. Best part is I didn't lose the ring.

​
The venue? Why Stonebarn above anywhere else?
​
Stonebarn was such a beautiful location for our special moment. As I looked at the inspiration photos, I could really envision the stunning backdrop it would provide. The lush grapevines growing this time of year amazed us. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the landscape, it felt like the perfect place to celebrate.
​
​
What experience do you want to give your guests?
​
We really want everyone to have a fantastic time and celebrate with us on our special day. Each person we invite holds a significant place in our lives, and we believe that their presence will make the occasion even more meaningful. We’re excited to share this moment with our loved ones and create lasting memories together. From heartfelt laughter to joyful dancing, we want everyone to feel the love and connection that brought us all together. It’s important to us that everyone enjoys themselves.
