About - Forever By Your Side Films

Hi, we’re Shawn & Alex!

We want to personally thank you for visiting our website and viewing our work. We are excited about the opportunity of getting to know you and being a part of your special day!

We love filming special moments

A little about us

We’re husband and wife, best friends, parents and passionate filmmakers. We have 3 wonderful kids, Alexander, Sophia and Hannah. We love admiring the colors of nature on family hikes, trying out any new ice cream shops we stumble upon, and exploring our world through our kids’ eyes. At home you can find us making silly home videos with our kiddos who, funny enough, are not camera shy at all!

We love filming all the special moments and we believe that those moments should be captured and preserved forever. Our Films are story driven and customized for each of our couples. We are based in Kansas City but we are passionate about capturing love stories around the world. We love to travel and we would be delighted to be a part of your special day.

We look forward to getting to know you and telling your love story.

Passionate about filming weddings since 2014
