Incredible memories of our day

Josh was the videographer for our wedding and hiring him was one of the best decisions we made for our day. Josh was brilliant to have around on the day, so relaxed and calm and great fun. He turned around some clips for us so quickly so we could have a sneak peak just after the wedding which was really special. The videos that Josh took for us we have watched over and over. It’s so nice to have our ceremony, our speeches and our first dance for us to watch anytime we like. The compilation video and clips that Josh put together for us looks like something out of a movie. The lighting, editing and quality is just beautiful. The day goes by so quickly but he captured the vibes of day absolutely perfectly and we’re so grateful to Josh for the memories we get to look back on.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Josh Couchman
Founder

Hey, I’m Josh! 👋

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was a kid, it just kind of stuck and became my happy place. I launched Side By Side Weddings back in 2019 because I’ve always loved capturing the magic, the moments, and the good vibes that a wedding day brings. Telling your story in a way you and your family can look back on for years to come is something I genuinely love.

I find that a lot of wedding photography or video can feel overly staged and not truly authentic to you. With my work, I always aim to keep things natural, capturing real moments and genuine emotions in a way that feels true to who you are. No cheesy poses, just fun, relaxed moments that feel like you.
