Not only do they do fantastic work but they work with you to make sure you are getting what you desire even if it means going above & beyond. That is the kind of vendors I prefer to work with, the team oriented, willing to do what it takes kind of service. You should too!"
"John Pottenger of Coastline studios is an amazing talent. We have worked with him on several events and it's always a pleasure. In fact he just filmed a documentary of our work on a large event and the end result was spectacular. Great talent and kind person which makes for a wonderful combination."

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!

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 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.

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.

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.
