WHY CHOOSE COASTLINE?
If you've never hired a videographer before, you might not know what to look for (or AVOID!). As you seek to educate yourself and compare videographers, here are a few things from our 20+ years of experience that we think are important to consider...
Coverage
more operators are essential
Coastline Studios is the only videographer in Michigan that includes 3 or more camera operators on 80% of its packages. Having more operators results in better storytelling, more complete coverage & unmatched creative opportunity that can't be found in 1-person, or even 2-person crews.
HELPFUL TIPS!
- Avoid "1-person coverage" packages. One person is simply unable to professionally and adequately capture the most important day of your life by themself at a level of quality that your wedding day deserves.
- Don't be fooled! More cameras (without an operator) DOES NOT equal quality. Without an actual person running each camera, you cannot ensure the quality of what is filmed. Unmanned cameras are often blocked by photographers & guests and lower the quality of your video.

storytelling
your story, beautifully told
Beyond just filming your wedding, we place a high value on telling your unique story so your kids and grandkids to come will get to know you, and the story that lead to this pivotal day in your life story.
- In our "Cinematic Packages" we conduct a short interview of each partner on the wedding day about how you met, and masterfully weave your story into your wedding film (participation optional).
- Our films carefully balance your interviews (when available) vows, toasts, readings and sermons to craft a wedding film that goes beyond just a musical montage.

... simplified into three payments of $966
