I can’t say enough good things about this crew! They made planning so easy—they actually listened carefully to what we wanted and were super responsive the whole way through. On the day of, they kept everything running smoothly and captured every little moment without us feeling rushed or staged. When we saw the final video, we thought they really nailed the unique vibe and style of the wedding. Brides, if you want a team that feels like they’re in your corner, these are your peeps!
Absolutely thrilled to have the CMM team along for our destination wedding! Strongly recommend the drone footage package, along with the music and everything really made the whole thing special, and now we've got it all as memories!
Definitely would recommend to any couple who are looking for an energetic team to come in and make the whole affair more smooth and exciting than you could possibly imagine!
Oh my gosh, Coastal Motion totally knocked it out of the park! The drone shots were insane—we got this epic view of our whole venue that just blew us away. And the music they picked? Spot on! It was like the whole video just synced up perfectly with the vibe of our day. Honestly, if you want a wedding video that feels like a movie, go with these guys. We’re obsessed!
Any questions?
Coastal Motion provided exemplary service for my wedding. I could not speak any higher of Jonny and his team. The communication was excellent and I felt understood and heard of all the requests I had made. Overall it was an incredible experience and will be recommending this company to anyone who asks!
Lord have mercy!! These fellahs know what they’re doing! From the moment Jon and his team showed up, they felt like family. They had a way of catching all the sweet, candid moments without us even noticing, and when we got the film, it was like reliving the day in the best way possible. If you’re looking for folks who can bring warmth and heart to your wedding memories, these are the ones to call."
Hiring Coastal Motion Media was the best decision we made for our wedding! Jon, Cyprian, and Lance were incredible from start to finish. They totally understood what we wanted and made the whole process feel natural and fun.
On the big day, they captured everything beautifully—especially the amazing drone shots of the coast that Cyprian got! Our film feels like a true reflection of us, and watching it brought back all the emotions. If you’re looking for a videography team that really cares and goes above and beyond, these are your guys!
