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.

The Byre at Inchyra 9/11/24 - Amazing work from Aaron

I booked Aaron after seeing one of his videos on Instagram - I thought it was absolutely amazing, not realising it was his first one ever!! We were initially undecided on a wedding video but honestly choosing to get a JustPressPlay video was one of our best wedding planning decisions. I have since convinced two of my pals to get him for their wedding!

Aaron has such a unique, relaxed style which perfect captured our day. Before the wedding, he got to know us well though video calls and instagram - and in doing so he was totally able to capture the vibe of our day. He was there from the early hours and shot til way into the dancing, and the videos we have are some of our most treasured memories. It can be intimidating to be on camera but Aaron makes you feel at ease - it’s like you’re just out with one of your pals having a laugh.

We got our little mini video just a few days after our wedding, and the full 17 minute epic with all the other bits (speeches, ceremony) after only a few months. It is perfect - and made my dad cry again. It is really special to us and we can’t wait to watch it every year on our anniversary.

For anyone thinking of booking Aaron - do it. Best decision we made for our wedding, hands down!

The best choice for your wedding!

Wow. I loved Aaron’s style the minute I saw his videos, and I knew he was right for us and our wedding. When we connected with him he was fun, light-hearted, and always professional. I knew I had made the right choice. On our wedding day he was an amazing presence, keeping us cool headed but never getting in the way. If we noticed he was there it was because he was making us smile. I can’t praise our video enough, it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Our friends and family that we’ve shared it with have all commented that it’s the best wedding video they’ve ever seen. Aaron’s style is cool yet classic, mixing new media with old for a timeless end product. He has an eye for the beautiful moments and captures them flawlessly. He over delivered giving us more than was paid for and a product that is priceless to us in terms of capturing the vibe of the day perfectly as well as masterfully weaving beautiful moments into a coherent narrative that felt theatrical in scope. I can’t thank him enough. If we were ever to need a video again, he’s the first person I’d call. JustPressPlay is very much the best money can buy.

Thanks a million times Aaron.

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!

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
