I'm so mad at Coastline. Every time I watch our preview, I'm instantly an emotional mess! They so beautifully captured the day in way that is surreal to watch back, I am right back... in the moment experiencing it all over again. To be able to do that (and I'm just talking about our 3ish minute trailer!) is truly the art of storytelling done to perfection.
As someone with a career in the creative arts industry, who is constantly evaluating our potential partners/studios' work, when we came across Coastline, I knew we'd found our people! I told my husband that doing what I do for work, if I didn't love the video style or editing or quality, it was going to be something very hard for me to watch in the future. I promise I wasn't like this on everything in the wedding, but for photo and video, there was a "standard" on what I was personally looking for. Coastline surely exceeded all expectations.
My husband and I don't take too many selfies/photos/videos in general, and so, to be in front of any type of camera wasn't something we were used to or necessarily comfortable with. However, once we met Ryan and the team who were shooting with him, we instantly felt at ease. Throughout the entire day, and even during our little interview part/gift exchange/story time, it all felt so natural and I 100% wouldn't have expected that. Ryan was so kind and engaging, yet was never in our faces or creating situations that made us feel uncomfortable. Some people just have that ability, and he's certainly one of them. Now, I know everyone will have different experiences, but from a professional production standpoint, from what I saw, they were so on point and ran that shit so smoothly. I love watching creatives work their magic! They're truly professionals.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Ryan, team, Trisha in the head honcho office manager, and all those involved in the behind the scenes and editing process! We are so grateful to have this day so preciously, intimately, and profoundly preserved.
