About

Stay up to date with me via Instagram at @justpressplayfilms - No longer actively using Hitched - please contact me via Email :)

Just Press Play is a wedding videography and photography business based in Durham.

I'm Aaron! I'm passionate about capturing real, authentic moments from your big day, focusing on creating a fun documentary-style wedding film which you and your family can look back on and love for years to come. Whether you're having a beach wedding with 20 guests, a country manor wedding with 120 guests, or a wedding in a brewery and you want to look back on your day for exactly the way it was - the smiles, the cries, the laughter and everything in between, then I would love to be on hand to capture it for you!

My style is journalistic, and I enjoy telling the story of your big day, letting the day unfold naturally and straying away from formal posing, catching candid moments of the celebrations you'll adore. Portraying your day through fun and creative photos and films which you will treasure for a lifetime.

Amazing experience, could not recommend enough

Aaron captured the day perfectly, he made us and the guests feel at ease in his presence, meaning he could capture beautiful natural moments. The final video was put together seamlessly, we will never get bored of watching the day back. Can’t recommend Aaron enough, thank you for everything you have done.

Amazing from start to finish!

Myself and my husband booked Aaron back in 2018/19 for our wedding in April 2020, after 3 failed attempts we eventually married in April 2022. Aaron was amazing from start to finish and was so understanding and professional throughout. We met a few times prior to our wedding date to get to know each other and feel comfortable infront of the camera!

Our wedding day itself was amazing and I'm so happy we chose Aaron to capture all of our happy memories. He made not only ourselves but also our guests feel so at ease within his company. A memory which will always stick with us is how he interacted with my husbands younger brother who is autistic, Aaron spoke to him about photography and was showing him how his camera worked - this made the day so special for my brother in law!

The photos and video we have from our day is second to none and I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart we wouldn't have wanted anyone else to capture our day. Aaron was absolutely amazing and I would have no quarms about recommending him for anyone else's big day!

Beautiful photographs!

We love our wedding photography! Aaron managed to get so many images without me noticing him there. I'm nervous in front of the camera and he really put me at ease. A few of our guests even mentioned how discreet and quiet he was and we managed to get so many lovely natural photos of our special day. So pleased we picked Aaron. 100% recommend!

Trish and Rory 01/04/23

We were totally blown away by the films that Aaron created for our wedding(s). We have not stopped watching them since! He captured the spirit of the day so perfectly. From when we first met him right through to the day itself he was fab to work with and we knew we were onto a winner. He was so easy to communicate with and get on with, he totally understood what we were hoping for (and what we wanted to avoid!) and delivered something that was way beyond our expectations. Not only that but he put us totally at ease, not easy considering we are both a bit camera shy. Our film is vibrant, quirky, brilliantly edited, full of joy and most importantly SO fun! He knew which elements of the day were super important to us and the film totally showcases and honours them. We are so grateful to him and Gina for capturing the day so incredibly well and making something that we will cherish forever. Thank you so much!
