RELIVE THE MOMENTS YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW YOU MISSED

Your wedding day goes by in a blur. I make sure you get to feel it all - again and again with a film that’s as real, emotional, and joyful as the day itself.

YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE TO CAPTURE IT ALL

Your ceremony. Your vows. Your best friend’s toast. The teary-eyed hug from your Grandmother. It all flies by so fast and the truth is, you won’t get to take it all in on the day. You’re in it.

You want to see your people. To hear the laughs.

To catch the glances.
And later, when it’s all a blur, you want to relive it—unedited, unforgettable, and beautifully real.

KIND WORDS FROM REAL COUPLES

I FILM YOUR WEDDING THE WAY YOU WANT TO REMEMBER IT

At Symmetry Wedding Video, your story comes first. No awkward posing. No dramatic acting. Just the real moments that matter: your people, your vows, your joy.

I’m Derek Preston, and I’ll be your videographer and your editor. From first meeting to final delivery, you’ll never be passed off to a stranger. This is personal—your story deserves that kind of care.

My style is calm, hands-off, and documentary. You just be in the moment—I’ll make sure it lives on, exactly as you remember it.

    Feel At Ease the Whole Day

    Couples say, “we barely noticed Derek was there”—but somehow, he caught every moment. My quiet, friendly presence helps you relax and enjoy the day without performance pressure.

    Relive Your Day Like It Just Happened

    Your film includes your ceremony, speeches, reactions, and every candid bit in between. Couples tell me it’s “like living the day again.”

    A Film Full of Your People

    You’ll see everyone you love - laughing, dancing, hugging you. Your wedding film becomes a time capsule of the people who made it unforgettable.

MEET DEREK

I’m Derek Preston, founder of Symmetry Wedding Video. I live in Abruzzo with my wife Gem and our three dogs: Luna, Tofu, and Nori.

I filmed my first wedding in 2017 for a friend and fell in love with it instantly. Every wedding is a thrilling and fascinating experience for me - sharing the best days of people’s lives is completely addictive! The smiles, laughter and energy of the day is contagious, and I often catch myself with a goofy smile on my face when I’m editing!

For me, wedding films are like a time capsule and what lights me up is capturing the real stuff: Your uncle’s dance moves, your partner’s tearful vows, your friend’s joke during the speeches that had everyone in stitches.

I film every wedding myself and personally edit every frame. You’ll never be just another booking in a busy queue - you’ll always know who’s behind the camera, and who’s crafting your film.

Choosing the right wedding videographer isn’t just about style—it's about trust. I offer three tailored collections to suit different wedding sizes and storytelling needs.

CHOOSING A WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER IS A BIG DEAL

Let’s be honest—hiring a videographer isn’t a small decision. It’s an investment, not just financially, but emotionally too. You’re trusting someone to capture one of the most important days of your life, and that comes with a lot of questions, and sometimes, a bit of overwhelm. I completely understand.

That’s why I’ve put together an FAQ section—no fluff, just honest answers to the things couples ask me most. Whether you're wondering about coverage, delivery times, or what it’s actually like to have a videographer around on the day, it's all there to help you feel informed and at ease.
