Media That
Drives Results.
Nova Coast Media is a San Diego-based photo, video, and marketing company. We help real estate agents, hotels and resorts, commercial clients, and brands look exceptional and generate real business.
Rick Ryan
Lead Photographer
Great media changes how a property is perceived, and perception drives results. Every listing, every hotel, every commercial brand deserves photography and video that makes people stop and act.
"I kept seeing incredible properties marketed with photography that did them no justice. Agents were losing deals they should have won."
Based in San Diego, Rick leads every production personally — FAA certified, MLS compliant, and equally at home shooting a luxury listing, a hotel lobby, or a commercial brand. Beyond the shoot, Nova Coast also handles social media and lead generation. One team, every deliverable.

Rick came through for me last minute to film my daughter and husband via drone doing a pier jump for San Diego Junior Lifeguards. Rick was responsive and immediately confirmed all permit/drone regulations. He showed up on time, got great footage, and turned around the final product on the same day. Core memory caught on film.
