Coastline Studios

Hiring a videographer was a last minute decision for us and I am so thankful John was able to shoot our wedding. He was great to work with and I would recommend him and his team to anyone and everyone. If I had to go back and re-plan everything, this is definitely something I would not go without! Thank you SO much John - I can't wait to see our video!

We were told by many people that their only regret from their wedding day was not having captured it on video. Once we decided to make the investment, we sought a story-teller who would not only be able to capture the moments between the still photos, but someone who could truly let us re-live our special day for years to come. Thankfully for us, the incomparable John Pottenger, at Coastline Studios, was able to join us and share in the celebration. John is quite the talent and did an outstanding job! We couldn’t be happier.

Ladies, Gents,Let me be perfectly honest with you. Video was something we added in the final hours of our planning. We had originally planned on doubling down on our photographer and nixing the video. That was, until we saw some of Coastline's work. Jaw-droppingly good. We worked with John Pottenger, who cold not have been any more patient, accommodating, or just a pleasure to be around. He and his team showed up like ninjas on our wedding day and we didn't even notice they were there. Once or twice, my husband caught them peering out from behind a tree to catch him chatting with his boys. Insane. I could keep writing this review all night, but I'll stop here and simply say: For a top-notch, cinematic (not cheesy) quality, high-def, beautiful shot, edited, and directed feature film of your special day, Coastline Studios would get our business again and again. I'm currently thinking of throwing a big party later this year, just so I can hire John and the gang to come on out and film us again! :)Very, very, happy.

My wife and I just received our wedding video from Coastline Studios in the mail. We had already spent many hours reviewing our wonderful picture proofs (by Darrin Wassom), so we weren't sure what more the video could offer. The video began with several scenic shots of various decorations while catching glimpses of guests arriving. As the church filled up, the camera was able to catch most of our friends and family as they anticipated the big event. Upon seeing just this portion, I turned to my wife and exclaimed, "Getting a videographer was totally worth it!" The rest of the ceremony was absolutely gorgeous and the video allowed us the opportunity to relive it--but this time without the nerves!We were very cautious to hire a videographer because of our limited budget and certain logistical concerns. I decided to contact John Pottenger to discuss our options. He was very friendly and accommodating to us and our situation. When it came time for the wedding, the video crew arrived promptly, did not disturb anyone (not even the photographer), and was supremely professional. In the end, our video arrived on time and we look forward to watching it again with friends and family.

John and Holly did an absolutely wonderful job! They captured everything, and did it beautifully! They were so easy to work with, and offered wonderful suggestions. We are recommending them to all of our friends who are getting married!

Coastline Studios was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. The pictures turned out amazing and John has been wonderful to work with. I recommend his services to everyone!

My husband and I had an outstanding experience working with John Pottenger of Coastline Studios. As we considered the vision/details for our wedding, John was prompt in responding to our questions and was extremely flexible. His work is professional, creative, and most importantly, it captures the precious candid moments that most couples can only hope for. There were several photos that were taken without us even knowing it, and these are some of our favorites because they exude the joy of our wedding day in such a natural way. John and his assistant, Ryan, had an excellent way of making everyone feel at ease during our photo sessions. We honestly could not have chosen a better photographer. The friends and family who have viewed our wedding photos have responded with rave reviews--so many of them have told us our pictures look like they belong in a bridal magazine. In all, John's work truly speaks for itself, once you view it, nothing else compares.

John did an AMAZING job on my pictures. I thought mine were awesome, but if you check out coastlinestudios.com you can see all the other work that they do. He was very flexible considering we did a very different kind of wedding and he was more than happy to be accommodating.

I knew after meeting John that he had the journalistic style that we wanted for our wedding pictures. Ultimately, my husband and I were thrilled with John and his work. He did an amazing job at capturing who Josh and I are as a couple without being obtrusive. He helped create a natural and comfortable environment, which made it easy for us to enjoy the day and not focus on posing (especially my husband who doesn�t like pictures). Everything felt so natural and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing to say the least. People are still talking about them and how they should be in bridal and golf magazines. We can hardly wait to see our video!

Coastline Studios was an excellent choice for our photographer. John was very flexible and professional. He was always prompt to answer our questions and he even dealt with my stressed out mom expertly (which was impressive). Whenever I wanted him to take a picture at the reception, he was always within ear shot and ready to do what I asked. The pictures turned out amazing and I have had MANY compliments on them. He was dedicated to helping us pick the pictures for our wedding album as well by sitting with us for 4 hours in his studio going through every single photo. I would definetly recommend Coastline!

Coastline Studios is an excellent photography company to go with. You won' be disappointed with the pictures after the wedding. I had one of the associate shooters shoot my wedding. The pictures turned out amazing but now I am wondering what they would have looked like if the head photographer shot them. I would highly recommend them though.

We were very please with our final photography product. John was very easy to work with and gave us the most beautiful pictures we could ask for. We still receive comments from friends and family about how our pictures look as though they belong in a magazine. We were most pleased with the fact that we did not have to constantly pose for pictures all day long. We hardly noticed John being there for moments of our day, but he still managed to capture everything. We would definitely use John again if the budget allows.

John was great the day of our wedding. The video and photography was journalistic and turned out great. It did take longer than we wanted to received our DVD for the video, but our photos came fairly quickly. Overall I would recommend him.
