2010 Wedding Highlights!

Congratulations to all of our wonderful 2010 brides & grooms and their families & friends! We had such a fun year with such a great group of people. We traveled to Orange County, Indianapolis, Chicago and of course every nook and cranny of the San Diego area. But what was really neat was to witness wedding traditions from all over the world; Poland, China, Korea, Denmark, India, Mexico, Vietnam, The Philippines, & Iran. This year there were a lot of creative ideas for entertainment like; candy buffets, photobooths, caricature artists, bands, freshly made donuts, a belly dancer, brides & grooms singing to each other, & choreographed dances…but enough from me, just enjoy this recap filled with all of our couples (yes everyone should be in there at least once!) celebrating with excitement and emotion! Thank you all for allowing us to be part of your big day and trusting us with protecting your memories, we LOVE OUR JOB!!!

If you’re new to visiting SidebySide Video, we have been using Canon High Definition DSLRs (5D mkii & 7D) for a little over a year now. We enjoy the cinematic look, the color, the crisp images, and the variety of lenses these cameras give us. Contact us if you are interested in having us at your wedding, we’d love to chat over coffee or tea.

P.S. come see us at the bridal bazaar this weekend in booth #934 for a special deal!

We have been planning on editing together some inspiration boards like photographers do (check out Style Me Pretty for some examples) – but in video!

SO – what we need are ideas. Well, we have ideas but we want to know what you want to see! What would help you come up with ideas for your own wedding?

To make this a little more fun, if you leave a comment with ideas you will be entered to win a little contest (prize TBD) so please, comment away!

We’re excited to share ideas with the wedding community and hope that you enjoy watching our videos as much as we enjoy making them:)

SidebySide Video – Real Weddings

So in the past month, we’ve been in 3 “real weddings” articles listed as vendors! I’ll put them in order of when they each got married. First we have the online version of Exquisite Magazine. We shot Shane and Katherine’s wedding back in the fall of ’08. Here’s a screen cap of that review, click on it to go to the site:

We were also in San Diego Style Weddings Magazine. We shot Lisa and Brent’s wedding in March and here we are listed as vendors for their Prado wedding! Click on the photo below to see the online version:

Last but not least, you might remember our postings from Brooke and Brandon’s wedding from back in April, well they even put a little blurb about all their vendors in Perfect Wedding Guide so check that out as well! Click on it to see their online version.

Needless to say, we’re pretty excited to have all that happen in one month! It’s neat to see people sharing their wedding ideas with all these “real weddings”. It’s nice to know there are other real people planning their weddings out there:)We hope to see some more of our couples out there sending in their wedding experiences!

Stay tuned…we have a bunch more recaps coming up!

…because life moves

News Update – win…win…win!

So here’s a little (or long) news update since it has certainly been a while!!

First of all, we came in 3rd in the 10News A-List competition! Thanks to everyone who voted, you are all so awesome! We are really excited to have this honor:)


Over the summer we’ve been busy! One thing we did was enter a video into the San Diego Fair and it won first place! We got 2nd and 3rd last year so we’re really excited that we moved up this year. Here’s the award winning video:

One thing to say about that video too is that it is one example of a promo spot which we have so much fun doing! The cool thing is that they can look any way you want, more like a commercial like the one above or more like a highlight of how you work or just a cool fun video showing off your company’s personality. We have a few examples…Here’s one example, here’s another, and here’s another one. If you are interested in something like this for your business, please give us a call! We LOVE doing these and would love to work with you.

We also got to go on a trip this summer! One piece of advice that we have taken from other married couples when we got married was to make lots of good memories. We’ve really striven to follow that advice especially before we have kids and still have time to go lots of places…so here’s where we went this summer! We took two weeks and went to Ireland, Germany and The Netherlands. Here is a teaser pic and I’ll post the video soon (after I catch up on some wedding videos)

Stay tuned…our next wedding recap video is from New Jersey!!
