We are a fun and energetic husband and wife team providing distinctive images to discerning clients using fresh and creative story telling techniques capturing the biggest day of your lives from two perspectives... his and hers, romance and details! Derek and Debbie have been photographing and filming weddings for 15 years in some of the world’s most beautiful locations – from the edge of Victoria Falls in Zambia to country manors in Wales, castles in England and Scotland, mountains, gardens and winelands in the Cape, and the beautiful beaches and exclusive safari camps throughout Southern Africa.​​ We are based in Maidenhead, Berkshire, but are happy to travel to any destination in the UK or abroad. We love colour! Cameras have evolved so much over time and technology is so advanced we can capture millions of pixels in fabulous, bright, colour - you won't find us desaturating the colour from your pictures, we use the light to capture every beautiful moment in bright, real-life colour. Samples of our weddings can be seen on http://www.pressplay.video/weddings however we would love to meet you in real-life and you can get to know us behind the camera and we can get to know you in front of the camera! Every Bridebook couple will receive a free 'engagement shoot' on our first meeting so you can get a feel for our style and personalities - if you like us and want to book us, fabulous! If not, no hard feeling, you still get to keep your pre-wedding pics! We really love what we do and we hope it shines through in our work! We hope we can capture the uniqueness of your special day, give us a call or email us to tell us what you are planning and we’ll tailor a photography package to suit you. We are also fully qualified and licensed drone operators, with a current CAA license (of course fully insured) so we can get a birds eye view of your wedding day too, which is a fun added bonus to booking us!

The Dream Team
Debbie & Derek captured our wedding and we couldn’t have asked for more. Their attention to detail is incredible, and you can see how passionate they are with what they do! Our pictures and video turned out better than we could’ve hoped for. We also got a highlight video back within a week of the wedding, and a couple of weeks on we received our usb with the full length video and gallery of pictures. We would highly recommend Press Play they truly are the dream team thanks a million xxxx

OHHHH MYYYY WORDDDDD! This is the most incredible video. We can’t thank you guys enough. We are sobbing haha! We are on our final day of our honeymoon in Canada and that has just made our day! Thank you so much. I can't tell you how many times we have watched the highlights video - It is better than I could have ever hoped for. You and Derek were absolutely fabulous on the day! Do you have a link somewhere I can leave you a review? We would love to help other couples have the same experience!

The amazing Pressplay
We had the pleasure of having the most amazing couple Derek and Debbie at Pressplay film our wedding. They are so professional, but at the same time so friendly and amazing to work with. They truly have an eye for detail and are amazing at what they do. We honestly cannot recommend them enough.

Could not recommend them highly enough!
If you are looking for wedding photography/videography then look no further! We used Derek and Debbie at press play for our wedding on 11/6/22. We had to postpone multiple times due to the pandemic and they couldn’t have been any more accommodating to this. The communication was second to none, as an anxious bride they reassured me at every corner. Having them at our wedding from start to finish felt more like we had 2 extra guests instead of vendors. They were fantastic at getting beautiful shots throughout and wouldn’t stop until the perfect picture was achieved. Not only were they brilliant to myself and the groom, they were excellent with our guests too, including children. Also having Derek using the drone was an extra layer of photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. When you have a groom that is pretty against standing around for posed pictures, both Derek and Debbie knew how to make it fun and engaged with us so we felt entirely comfortable around them and being photographed. Cannot wait to have our photos back. Could not recommend them highly enough :)

The perfect wedding day!
What can I say about Debbie and Derek at press play? Simply that they are best at what they do. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the day it was without them. Due to covid we had to rearrange our date several times and they were so accommodating to us. We even changed our final date because they couldn’t do the one we’d chose originally and we wanted them to photograph our special day. They had excellent communication from the minute we contacted them to the receiving of our beautiful photos promptly after the wedding day. They arrived at our venue in plenty of time and then they got to work. Ourselves and our guests felt at ease with them all day. Didn’t feel like we were posing for photos, it came very natural. It felt like having old friends at our wedding, we even invited them both to sit down and eat with us. We honestly couldn’t fault them or recommend them enough. Our beautiful photos are the memories we will cherish forever from our special day so having the best photographers was a must, and we found them ❤️

Our wedding day
Debbie and Derek videoed our wedding in June 2022. Finally, we were able to celebrate our big day COVID restriction free! This was our third date after having to move it. They did everything they could to move dates with us and were quick in replying, which was reassuring as there was a lot to rearrange. On the day, Debbie and Derek were relaxed and friendly helping put us at ease on a nerve-racking day! They demonstrated true professionalism as they knew the order of events and had researched the area so did not need much from us. They kept it candid and natural, which is exactly what we had hoped for. After the ceremony, we all went on a boat down the river Thames. It was a beautiful day and they used every opportunity to get amazing shots. We knew that they were going to be using drones, but I did not appreciate how spectacular these shots would make the video. Because there were two of them, they were able to shoot on the boat and from the bank, not missing anything. I was sceptical about having videographers at the wedding as I can feel self-conscious when being filmed. I am so pleased we did it as it was totally inobtrusive and is such an amazing record of the day. The turnaround on the edited videos was very quick so that we were able to share the event with those that couldn’t attend. The short videos were brilliant for social media and the longer ones great to sit down and watch on the big TV with a group. The quality of the editing and choice of music was superb and very professional. I am so chuffed that we had Debbie and Derek capturing our wedding day. They did an awesome job. We high recommend them to anyone else looking to get a top quality video of their special day.

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

We were the photographers & videographers for a "Just the Two of Us" wedding on the edge of the Victoria Falls in Zambia - we were the guests, the witnesses and we documented the day in picture and film - it was truly an honour and the only wedding we have ever filmed that was really as small as bride, groom, minister and us!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Friendly, storytelling, timeless, creative, relaxed

What about your business are you most proud of?

We won the 2022 Global Wedding Awards for Best Husband and wife Wedding Videography Team, and were finalists in the Guides for Brides Best of Customer service award in the UK!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Relax and have fun with the planning, there is no need to stress, if the little details you had your heart set on don't quite work out, it's not serious!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

A beautiful bridal bouquet with little lockets with photographs of grandparents/parents who had passed away.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We like to meet up with the bridal couple, either in our home or at their venue to have a coffee and a chat about their dream day. We like to get to know them and their love story! After they've decided we are a good match and have booked us we like to set a date for the pre-wedding shoot (which is included in all our photography packages) as it's a great way for them to feel comfortable in our presence, for them to see how we work and for us to get to know one another!

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

The First Kiss at the altar - it is a moment in time captured forever - it represents their union and cannot be taken again!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

The bridal rings in a Hindu Girls Hair - her hair was dressed and knotted into a million flowers and hung all the way down her back - it was extremely beautiful, but the poor bride had such a headache as it was a very heavy head dress!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Umbrellas! Oh and wellies! Wellies are great for a fun outdoor shot in the rain

Describe how you got into photography.

Derek started filming and photographing white water rafting from a kayak on the Zambezi River, and then progressed to bungi jumping, elephant back safaris and helicopter adventures... when we moved to the UK in 2000 the adrenalin sports weren't as abundant, and, as we had photographed and filmed several friend's weddings in Zimbabwe, (Debbie as Derek's assistant!) we started to do it commercially in the UK! After several years as the assistant, Debbie has come into her own and you now get two very experienced wedding photographers for the price of one! Two angles and two perspectives! His and hers, romance and details!
