I loved having SidebySide Cinema as our wedding videographers! They truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was special! The prices were reasonable and I loved that they f...
ilm the entire ceremony, speeches etc on top of the video they put together. The day of my wedding I just felt they were so helpful and really captured and the different things we wanted but also weren't in the way of guests! I'm so glad I picked them as our wedding videographers!
WOW! Danielle and Jared are the best team that you could have to do your wedding video. They are so kind and made us really feel special while filming our wedding day. We cried w...
hen we got our wedding video back because of the beautiful job SidebySide Cinema did. 1000% worth what you pay for. We couldn't have asked for anything more!
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 s...
how 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!
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.
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 lov...
e 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!
We had a great experience working with SidebySide for our wedding video! They were such a nice team to work with and they did an amazing job putting together our videos. I am so ...
happy we have all these special moments captured so beautifully. The wedding day gets so busy that the bride and groom miss out on lots of little moments your guests are sharing - so we are so grateful to have worked with SidebySide to have these memories with us forever. They did a great job capturing it all and making it easy on us! Highly recommend!
Side By Side was amazing! Words can't describe how they were able to capture all the sweetest moments and splice them together so perfectly. They were extremely professional. showe...
d up on time. were polite, and extremely easy to work with. Additionally, they turned the video around super quick. Please pick them to do your wedding! They are great and super responsive.
SideBySide Cinema was absolutely amazing!! They are extremely responsive with any and all questions before the wedding, and continued to be amazing to work with on our wedding day!...
From getting ready to ending the night on the dance floor, they captured every memorable moment allowing us to relive that day whenever we press play.
My wedding video made everyone who watched it tear up because of how thoughtful and beautiful it was. It was better than I could have ever imagined. Truly a wonderful tribute to our big day. I’m forever grateful for the memories they have captured, and I cannot recommend them more!!
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!
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 and telling them which parts we’d like to use. 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!
Great professionalism. Easy to work with. Can't recommend highly enough.
I'll be honest - I initially didn't think getting a videographer was worth the added expense - my now wife proved me wrong (not the 1st time & not the last of course)! I've watche...
d the videos more than she has already. Priceless memories captured in motion really helped absorb the moments in time. When you're in the midst of your wedding you don't get the chance or time to fully grasp everything that is going on right in front of you because you're pulled in so many directions at once. Video really helped to re-live the event and see the finer details of the night that we missed the first time around.
Danielle & Jared were very courteous with their set-up and got fantastic shots of our procession, ceremony, recessional, reception, etc. The microphone planted on me was unnoticeable and the sound came out really clear and didn't sound muffled or too loud during our vows.
The highlight reel was a great summary of the evening and quality was stellar. We wanted our highlight video to look a little different than most of the sample videos we'd seen - Danielle & Jared listened to our wishes and our highlight video perfectly captures what we wanted more than we could have imagined! They also worked hard to give us song suggestions for the highlight video that matched the tone we wanted.
Highly recommend this team!
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 Daniel...
le, 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!
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!
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!
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 fo...
r 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.
Danielle and Jared did an INCREDIBLE job on our wedding video. I was truly blown away. They captured the essence of us perfectly and nothing brings me more joy than this video. I n...
ever realized how essential wedding videographers were until I saw that video! BOOK THEM!
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.
I am absolutely thrilled with our wedding videos from SidebySide Cinema. I'll start by saying that Danielle and Jared are lovely themselves and it was a pleasure having them there...
with us throughout our special day. I never felt like we were being filmed yet they captured so many candid moments and put together the most beautiful highlight and feature films. I love the way they edited the videos and timed it with the music. The end result is really cinematic and so professional. I have loved watching the videos and sharing it with family and friends. I feel like I relive the day and remember all the special moments every time I watch it. Also, I shopped around before selecting SidebySide and I can say with confidence that their rates are so very reasonable, especially for all you get. A lot of other vendors offered a lot less for a lot more money. I HIGHLY recommend SidebySide. Can't say enough great things about them.
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.
We loved working with SidebySide Cinema. We are so glad that we chose them to capture all of the memories of our wedding. It was such a special moment to watch this back for the fi...
rst time. Our wedding day went by so fast and it's so wonderful to have this video to look back and remember the day. Danielle was extremely responsive and they were so easy to work with. It's so important to hire a talented videographer for your wedding day and SidebySide Cinema will not disappoint you!
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. T...
he 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!!
If you are unsure of hiring a videographer for your wedding, JUST DO IT and hire SidebySide!! We were on the fence on getting a videographer and last minute decided to hire SidebyS...
ide- we are SOOO thrilled that we went with Danielle & Jared! They were so easy to work with and the quality of their work is OUTSTANDING! We would definitely recommend this great duo to any family/ friends!
I absolutely recommend SideBySide for your wedding videography! Danielle and Jared are amazing - super professional, friendly, and sweet - and they produce AMAZING, beautiful work....
I cried my eyes out when I saw our finished wedding video, and I am so grateful for the beautiful memento of our day. They also provided bonus reels of random footage, which we LOVED because we missed so much of it on the actual day. I trusted their creative direction, though Danielle of course took my ideas into consideration, as well as captured our personalities and wedding atmosphere (Disney romantic/fun) perfectly. I am so happy with our video and would highly recommend them to ANYONE. <3 Thank you guys!
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 co...
mmunicative 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!
SidebySide made a beautiful wedding video for my brother and so I wanted them for my special day 4 years later. What impressed me most is that they do NOT have a cookie cutter app...
roach. We asked for some things to be similar and some things to be different from the work they did for my brother's wedding, and they listened carefully to our requests - providing a product that is exactly what my husband and I wanted! I highly recommend.
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 ABSOLUT...
E 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 nickle 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 did an amazing job on our wedding video. It was SO worth every penny, and the videos will be something we cherish for years to come! We were especially happy wi...
th all of the small details that they captured throughout and their ability to tell the story of the day in a way that we'll never forget. They were extremely easy to work with, showed up on time, kept on schedule, and went above and beyond afterwards to ensure we were happy with the final products. Highly recommend the two of them! They did a spectacular job.
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 vi...
deo. 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!
We are so thankful that we decided to have Danielle and Jared of Side by Side Cinema with us on our big day. We went back and forth on videography but knew it would be worth it an...
d it absolutely was....we received our videos in the mail this weekend and were AMAZED with what they put together for us. We can't thank them enough for capturing our most special moments and allowing us to experience it all over again. It was a pleasure to work with both of them and we would recommend them to anyone!
I can’t even begin to express how well SidebySide Cinema captured our wedding day on film and on top of that, the pleasure it was to work with them. Not only were Jared & Danielle ...
flexible enough to accommodate our timeline without ever making us feel rushed, but they worked so well with our photographer. They were both seemingly always in the right place at the right time to capture the most candid and heartfelt moments of our wedding. And to top it all off, Danielle & Jared had this effortless air about them that made it all look easy.
As if we didn’t already love SidebySide after the wedding, we were absolutely blown away when we received our videos! Everything was A+, from the top-notch quality of every single shot to the way they seamlessly edited it all together to tell a story that truly embodies how we felt and the way we always want to remember our wedding. SidebySide Cinema was indispensable in making our wedding a once-in-a-lifetime, overwhelmingly enchanting, all-around awesome memory that we’ll cherish forever.
Danielle and Jared are amazing. We couldn't even decide if we wanted a wedding video. I am so happy we were able to meet Danielle and Jared and had them as a part of our special da...
y. The video is incredible and they were so fun to work with. Can't recommend them highly enough!
Danielle and Jared are absolutely amazing!! They captured every moment and detail of our wedding day perfectly, and created the most beautiful films for us! We just received our fi...
lms and cannot stop watching - they did an AMAZING job! We cannot thank them enough! They are both so easy going and fun to work with, and put my husband and I both at ease in front of the camera on our wedding day just by being themselves. It was like working with old friends! Their talent is way beyond incredible, and you absolutely should hire SidebySide Cinema!

Danielle & Jared of Side by Side Cinema were amazing to work with and the quality of my videos has me watching them frequently. I planned my wedding from Texas and our venue was th...
e La Jolla Shores Hotel. It was challenging to choose vendors from so far away but not with Side by Side. The quality of their work speaks for itself. They outrank every videographer's work I've ever seen. After watching just one of their videos the decision was made for me. I am so happy and thankful to have been able to use Side by Side Cinema for my La Jolla wedding and would recommend them to anyone. You will not be disappointed with Side by Side Cinema! Thank you again to Danielle, Jared and Side By Side Cinema!
Sidebyside was our first choice for videography, and good thing I booked them well in advance of the big day, since I heard Oct was a busy month for weddings. Their pricing is comp...
etitive, but their video quality and filming professionalism is top notch.
I wanted to save the proper review for after the final product is out...We recently got the film back for our wedding out in Temecula...It turned out so great ! We were so lucky and blessed with good weather on our wedding day, and our venue (Villa de Amore) just looked so special on film. Jared and Danielle were amazing to work with, they showed up early to film at the house we were getting ready at. They even accommodated our requests to film a short tea ceremony we did with family, before our actual ceremony with all the guests. The music and captured moments were so great...Especially the detailed shots of the decor, flowers, wedding attire and the like. It really is like reliving your special day all over again! Thank you so much and I highly recommend their service :).
Working with Side by Side Cinema was a fantastic experience! Both Danielle and Jared were incredibly professional and courteous. My wife and I were floored after watching the video...
s they created to capture the essence of our wedding. My wife and I have loved going through the raw video files to witness moments that we may have otherwise missed during the wedding which is why the Collector's Edition is highly recommended! But ultimately, the videos they shot and edited told our story perfectly. Thank you again to Danielle, Jared and Side By Side Cinema!!
Jared and Danielle do truly amazing work! My husband and I watch our film almost weekly. They captured the essence of the day and it is so professionally done. They were super ea...
sy to communicate with before the wedding, very professional and great to work with the day of the wedding and then the finished product is really priceless! I cant say enough positive things about this team!!! I would use them over and over!
Danielle and Jared were wonderful! They were able to work independently, but were still flexible enough to honor our requests, which was helpful to us, as we didn't exactly feel co...
mfortable in front of the camera. We loved the variety of options that were offered with video lengths, which made sharing our day easy, depending on the audience. There seemed to be the perfect video length for any situation. Sidebyside really did capture our wedding beautifully, and we love having a wedding video we actually want to watch!
I definitely recommend that every bride & groom hires a videographer and it should be SidebySide Cinema! It was the BEST decision we made. Getting your photos back is great and all...
, but when you get the video, it's even better!!! You get to relive it all over again and that is priceless. My husband and I have watched it on our anniversary and anytime we feel like reliving that amazing day. Jared and Danielle are so sweet and make you feel comfortable. They're professional and reliable as well. Go with sidebyside and you won't regret it.
If you're on the fence about having a videographer at your wedding, definitely go for it!
Jared and Danielle are amazingly talented at what they do, and they're a ton of fun! Th...
ey were respectful of our photographers, but also assertive - they made sure to get the shots they wanted and it shows. They captured elements of our wedding I didn't even know were happening, and after watching our highlight videos I immediately requested the raw footage (and extra DVDs for our parents). I highly recommend just buying everything they have up front. It's well worth it, and their rates are incredibly reasonable.
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 an...
d 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!!
Best money spent on our wedding!!! We had exhausted our budget and put off videography towards the end of planning. After talking to family and friends, they told us it's so differ...
ent having the wedding on film to look back on....they were soooo right! At your wedding, you get pulled in so many directions and there are so many events happening through out that you don't get to see all of the details or special moments that happen around you. SidebySide returned our video only a month after our BIG day and we had the opportunity to watch all of the footage video after our honeymoon. It was like reliving it on film!!! They did an incredible job capturing all of the details...my family thought our highlight reel was a trailer for a show...yes it's that great! They pay attention to every detail, all the way down to the packaging they send the DVDs in. Even the DVD menu incorporated the live music played at our wedding. Their personal touches are incredible!!! Highly recommend!!
I am over the moon with the work Danielle and Jared did for our wedding!! They are an awesome couple to work with, very easy going, and did I mention super talented! After watching...
several of the videos on their website (well maybe most of them because I couldn't stop, they are so good!) I knew we had to have them for our wedding and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the finished product! We have shared it with many family and friends and they are equally stunned and brought to tears by the beauty of the films. They captured the day perfectly. You cannot go wrong with Side by Side Cinema, the day is such a blur when it's all said and done and I am so happy we can relive that amazing day over and over whenever we like now!
SidebySide is amazing! We were recommended by 2 of my bridesmaids to use them as they were the videographers for their weddings. Both Danielle & Jared are so friendly, profession...
al and just knew how to make our families, bridal party and us (the bride & groom) feel extremely comfortable. Before the big day we went through with them things that were important to us... and they captured all of it. We went with a package that gave us a 20 minute video of all the highlights plus we got the entire ceremony and all important events during the reception. The videos we received are perfect... the flow of the video, the quality of the camera angles and all the important things we wanted to see were captured. we have now been married almost a year and have at least watched the video probably 30x... each time it puts a smile on our faces and helps us relive our favorite day. I would highly recommend SidebySide to couple looking for a quality videographer! Thank you Danielle & Jared! -The Stavana's
Danielle and Jared are INSANELY talented and friendly!!! They were just the perfect blend for our wedding...LOVE having a married video team! I really enjoyed planning with them bu...

I am in love with this vendor. They have beautiful videos and though they were slightly over my original budget I decided that I HAD to hire them without even meeting them first. T...
hey are extremely easy going, you hardly notice they are even there and they produce AMAZING works of art that I will cherish forever. The format of their videos is easy to share with family.
