    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.

    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!

    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!

    Couldn't be any a happier!

    It was such a blessing to have found Jared and Danielle! They were fun to work with and handled everything with professionalism and poise. We were blown away when we saw our final wedding videos. The videos were more beautiful than we could have ever imagined and they captured the day perfectly. They had multiple types of shots, awesome lighting and sound. We couldn't be any happier with how everything turned out!

    Amazing Videographers

    My husband was on the fence about whether we needed a videographer for our wedding and thought that having a photographer would be enough. One year later, his family still asks for links to our wedding videos. Our photos are treasured by us, but nothing could capture the exact energy and tone of the night like our partners at SidebySide could.

    We found Danielle and Jared to be wonderful partners through the entire process. They explained everything we needed to do and were patiently in the background for all of the most important highlights of our big day. The end result is just so impressive to us and is something we keep going back to one year later. Their sense of timing and framing is impeccable.

    Our wedding was exactly one year ago. Many of our vendors told us we were the last event that they worked for a long time. As we look to a brighter future, here’s hoping you have the opportunity to work with Danielle and Jared at SidebySide to capture your own incredible memories.

    Hire Them Now!

    Hiring Danielle and Jared was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding: they were creative in their filming approach, collaborated well with our photographers, and were communicative and accommodating throughout the entire editing process. They were amazing to collaborate with and delivered exceptional work for our wedding. We would wholeheartedly recommend them if you're looking for wedding videographers who are professional, fun, and a pleasure to work with. You'd have a hard time finding anyone better than them. Thanks Danielle and Jared!

    We LOVED Jared and Danielle! We knew a few people that used them for their wedding and they went above and beyond our expectations. During the first look we were both so nervous and excited to see each other but they both made the situation easy and comfortable. They were professional, friendly, and so much fun to be around. We can't wait to see our videos!! I definitely recommend using this amazing talented team! Thanks for everything!!

    We randomly found SidebySide online doing research on a potential wedding site and really loved the wedding video we were watching. So we investigated who made the video and it was done by Danielle and Jared.

    They are a husband and wife combo and let me tell you, they know their stuff! We watched other videos on their site and just continued to fall in love with them. Once we found our wedding site was going to be in Long Beach, we were thrilled they were still willing to make the drive.

    The two of them work so well together, they are on walkie talkie constantly communicating with each other and just seemed to be in all the right places the entire wedding. They even had 3 camera angles during the ceremony. They had every key moment in our video and did an amazing job at capturing the moment of the evening. As we watched the video it brought back all the exact emotions we had the night of our wedding. The transitions were smooth and they found great clips to match with the music we picked out ahead of time.

    They may be just a little pricey but let me tell you, IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY! They caught what my photographer didn't get. On the DVD we got pre-ceremony footage, ceremony footage and reception footage. All lasting a little over an hour. Then they recapped all the footage with a 5 minute video for friends and family.

    Amazing Team, Amazing footage, Amazing Final Product.
    Do yourself a favor and BOOK THEM NOW, you wont regret it!

    Danielle and Jared are really wonderful to work with. They are very responsive to email and phone calls. They are very professional and a pleasure to have at the wedding. On the wedding day they arrived on time and were filming the entire time. Their documentary style was prefect for us; they were not invasive to the ceremony or reception at all. They captured the evening without bothering the guests or us. I cannot wait to see the final video, I am sure it will be fantastic! Thank you Jared and Danielle!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    The most incredible team!

    Danielle and her husband Jared make the most incredible team! They are such warm people and are phenomenal at what they do. On the day of, they really make you feel comfortable and are so discreet, you don’t even realize you are being filmed. The final result of all their hard work is just breathtaking, and a true testament to their craft. I am so incredibly happy with how the films turned out and I can’t wait to be able to relive such a magical day year after year. I can’t thank them enough for capturing and being a part of the big day.

    There is no better team

    I'm a pretty dumb guy and wedding videography hadn't really registered in my brain as a thing until the missus and I started planning our big to do. I confess I was hesitant a bit at first . . . I have zero regrets. Videography is critical to capturing and holding onto the vibe of the big day. Jared and Danielle are a fun couple, so they know how to get the fun of the day into their work. Sometimes the fun is a glance between bridesmaids or a sideward remark from a groomsman. Along with the laughter they also capture the pauses, the silence when it's most meaningful. The capture the environment, the friends, the family, the memory. There is no better team.

    Can’t say enough good things about SidebySide!

    My wife and I had a fairly small and simple wedding, but planning our special day and being in the wedding itself was nevertheless stressful. Working with professionals like Jared and Danielle of SidebySide Cinema helped alleviate that stress and ultimately left us with happy memories. From the very start, Danielle listened to our needs and expectations and helped make the videography costs work for our budget. On the day of the wedding, the two videographers worked efficiently to capture all of the important moments, were very pleasant to interact with, and made us feel special on our big day. We enjoyed watching Jared and Danielle collaborate with our photographer to create the best shots possible. We opted for the edited ceremony plus a highlight video and were extremely pleased with our finished product. We could see the care and expertise that they put into their work as we watched our wedding videos. It brought tears to my wife’s eyes and smiles to our faces to be able to relive those moments from our wedding. My wife and I strongly recommend SidebySide Cinema to anyone wishing to film their special day.

    Love them and their work!!

    Love this husband wife team!
    Danielle and Jared are amazing at what they do! They both make you feel so comfortable and at ease. Very professional and so friendly!
    All smiles. The venue we were at was large (The San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park) so transportation could’ve been sticky but they rolled with it and everything fell into place.
    I can’t wait to see their finished product!!

    An extra bonus; hearing some of my other vendors commenting on who I booked for videography, and they were super excited to work with them.
    Highly recommend SidebySide Cinema!!

    I absolutely recommend this husband and wife team!!! We booked SidebySide for our wedding. From the get-go Jared and Danielle were organized, professional, detailed, and an ABSOLUTE pleasure to work with. And in the end the edited videos met my extremely high (aka picky) standards. Danielle was always responsive even when I was not. She kept me on track, and did not bother us with additional/unnecessary questions like some other vendors did. The video came out exactly how I imagined it would, and they went above and beyond to package the final thumb drive nicely in a wrapped package with a personal note. They did not nickel and dime us. They were accommodating in so many ways. They even drove me to the ceremony (because the rest of my wedding party was running late)! They were honestly the best vendors at our wedding. (Danielle and Jared: In case you were wondering, you were the ONLY vendors we offered shots to because we loved you guys!) And they are a very affordable price. I highly highly recommend them. And in the end, the video spoke the loudest. What you see in their portfolio is exactly what you should expect to receive: just BEAUTIFUL work. I wish there was a way to give them more props. I love love loved them! I hope to get to use them again soon.

    Jared and Danielle of SidebySide Cinema were amazing to work with! We were referred to them by our DJ, who spoke highly of their work and even used them for his own promotional video. As we watched sample wedding videos from a few videographers, it was evident that we loved their style of storytelling the most! On the day of the wedding, Jared and Danielle were both so friendly and our bridal party loved them! We took a while choosing the songs we wanted for our wedding videos, but they were super patient with us. We recently received the films and absolutely loved all of it! We had so much fun at the wedding that we wanted to do it over again, and watching the videos allowed us to relive all the fun and excitement again! We received a ton of compliments from friends and family on how the videos turned out. We would recommend SidebySide Cinema to any couple searching for a videographer for their wedding!
