A Lot for a Little $$$$

As an older bride, I wanted a video with emphasis on family and friends. I got that plus so much more. Somehow SidebySide conveyed the feelings, the love from our guests to us. Everyone at our wedding was captured at just the right moment. We highly recommend them based on ease of communication, reliability and cost.

Absolutely Amazing!!!

I cannot say enough good things about SidebySideCinema. Danielle and Jared made the whole experience of finding and hiring them to be our videographer so easy. They were able to show us some amazing productions from past weddings and answered my millions of questions about the packages and their services and responded in such a timely manner. My husband and I cried seeing our highlight reel, ceremony and reception videos. Danielle and Jared truly made magic and let us relive our perfect day through their videos. We can't thank them enough for the high quality videography they produced. They truly are an amazing team!

An easy-going, professional power couple!

I found Danielle and Jared, the owners of Side by Side, online.

Upon reaching out, I spoke with Danielle and she was super easy-going and professional. It was stress-free working with them -- they asked me to fill out a page or two about my preferences, we had a phone call a few months before our wedding to meet each other, and then got back in touch about a month before my wedding date about scheduling and logistics.

The day of, Danielle and Jared reflected that same easy-going attitude. They worked with my photographer to partner up when it made sense to. They worked really well as a team (they are husband and wife, after all :) ). As a bride, my definition of an amazing vendor is when they're quiet. This might be a weird thing to say, but that's when I know that they're professional and confident, and for a videographer, able to focus on capturing as much footage as possible without getting in the way of any other vendors.

We got our videos a few weeks after our wedding and they're SPECTACULAR. They gave us a couple of videos to help capture different elements of the day (highlight, ceremony, reception, and bonus footage). Nothing felt overproduced or undervalued -- they truly hit the mark on showing how our wedding was, representing every element really well. The end result looked natural and reflective of our day. We showed the videos to some family members who fell ill and couldn't attend last minute, and they thoroughly enjoyed all of the footage.

The most important vendor you will hire!

Making the decision to hire a skilled videographer is the best money we spent on our wedding day. Danielle and Jared are professional and extremely talented with their work. We love watching our wedding videos and get to relive our special day every time we do. Their disposition was calm and never distracting. Having vendors with big personalities can be overbearing and stressful on your big day. These guys did their work quietly behind the scenes and provided a beautiful result.
One of the things I wanted so badly on my wedding day was some drone footage. Jared managed to pull this off despite the strong winds and poor weather we had on our wedding day. The sound quality was also incredible despite the wind. I give these guys 5 stars and highly recommend them!

Great team to work with!

We had a great experience working with SideBySide! As stressful as the wedding day can be, having a video team that's patient, helpful, and understanding is critical! They were all of that and genuinely nice people to work with. Our videos came out great and the way they were provided made it easy to download and share. Highly recommend working with this team for your big day!

Absolutely Exceptional

Without a doubt, SidebySide is absolutely exceptional.

In addition to being incredibly professional and talented, Danielle and Jared are some of the most thoughtful and kind people we met.

We are so impressed with their knowledge and ability to make sure that the moments from our wedding day were effortlessly captured. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour to dinner to the dance floor. It was beautifully captured. SidebySide clearly spent time preparing before and after our event - and this showed.

We knew that we trusted SidebySide from the first phone call and had no doubts that they would be able to preserve these precious moments.

The videos and footage we received following our event were so meticulously curated. We cannot stop re-watching these videos.

Incredible team, professionalism, and talent!

Incredible!

My best friend came across sidebyside and I instantly fell in love with the way they captured each wedding. So it was an easy decision which videographer to use on our special day. It amazed me how Danielle and Jared were able to piece together hours and hours of footage into 4 or so minutes, highlighting the most important parts of that day for us. It’s as if we were right there with them while editing. From start to finish they were so sweet and professional and they made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. Whenever I hear of someone getting engaged I say use sidebyside each time, you won’t regret it!

Jared & Danielle made my wedding video dreams come true

As someone who practices videography in their daily job, I knew that trusting someone with my wedding video would be tough. However, as someone who has worked with Jared and Danielle, I have seen the work they do. I was almost intimidated to ask if they’d be willing to work with my budget, but they were flexible in making my dream video come true. They are the epitome of professionalism. They take what they do seriously and it shows. I had my initial wedding in 2020 during COVID, and I think the best part of hiring Jared and Danielle is that they were aware of this. They intended to make our video a celebration of us and the friends and family that were finally able to join us for our wedding anniversary. They followed my detailed shot list to the T (which I very much appreciated), and still left room for creativity. Their editing style exceeded my expectations, including not only shots of my husband and I together but also lots and lots of smiles from our guests. I also loved that they were able to incorporate a special speech from one of my husband’s groomsmen throughout the video, showing that they are truly gifted storytellers. If you are looking for a videographer duo that listens to your desires, executes them beautifully, and is fun to work with, look no further than Side By Side Cinema. THANK YOU JARED AND DANIELLE!

So glad we found Side by Side to be our videographers

Honestly, don't read my review -- just book Side by Side Cinema now! It was difficult to decide on a wedding videographer -- I watch so many videos trying to find the style that appealed most, and I found that with Jared and Danielle's work. They are so adept at capturing the emotions of a wedding and I liked their editing style. Leading up to the wedding, they were quick to respond to any questions and were very organized. At the wedding we honestly forgot they were there -- you barely notice them filming, but it is obvious that they are catching every detail.
My husband and I just received our wedding highlight film and featurette film and are SO in love. The editing, music, and attention to detail is amazing. We were both crying at the end of the video because Jared and Danielle captured so many beautiful moments from our wedding that mattered to us, like our first dance and first look, and clips of our family and friends enjoying the wedding and having a good time. They really conveyed the joy of our wedding with our close family and friends. I am so happy that we found Side by Side and that we now have these beautiful films to revisit year after year. Thank you, Jared and Danielle!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I am a professional wedding photographer and I needed a promotional video to showcase my business and myself while I was working. I commissioned Jared and Danielle to create my video after working with them at a previous wedding where we were both vendors. Jared and Danielle are so easy to work with - they are laid back, but professional at the same time. I did not know how difficult talking in front of a camera actually was until I sat down to do it. I thought for sure I had ruined the video and wasted everyone’s time. But when I got the video back from Jared and Danielle they had worked their editing magic and it was awesome! They had listened to all of my input and let me make changes to the video (which were actually very minor; they nailed the promo video from the start). I needed the video fast because I was relocating my business from San Diego, CA to Virginia Beach, VA and they were so accommodating. Jared and Danielle picked the perfect music to set the tone for the video. They are so amazing and professional I felt like I had to do very little work on my end for such an amazing product. If your business does not have a promotional video then you are missing out. I can’t thank Jared and Danielle of Side By Side Cinema enough.

Side by Side was a fabulous company to work with! I worked with them in February of 2012 and the entire wedding was so smooth. They are a very easy going and highly professional couple to work with. The wedding video was absolutely fabulous. My clients had videography high on their list. I recommended them to Side by Side and they were VERY pleased!!
