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
Founder & Creative Director
Great media does more than document a property. It shapes how people experience it before they ever step inside.
At Nova Coast Media, we create photography and films designed to elevate perception, build desire, and make exceptional properties and brands impossible to overlook.
"I started Nova Coast because I felt real estate media was missing something: emotion, story, and a real commitment to quality. An incredible property should make you feel something before you ever walk through the door. I wanted our work to create that feeling."
Based in San Diego, founder Rick leads each production with a hands-on approach, combining cinematic storytelling with the technical precision required for luxury real estate, hospitality, and commercial work.
From photography and cinematic video to aerial production, social media, and lead generation, Nova Coast brings everything together under one creative team.

Rick is amazing to work with! He’s professional, reliable, and delivers exceptional work. You can’t go wrong with Nova Coast Media. I highly recommend and will definitely use him for future projects!
We had such a great experience working with Rick! He was an absolute professional, friendly, punctual, and an excellent communicator from start to finish. The photos came out amazing and really captured the property beautifully.
Extraordinarily courteous, prompt, professional, and created excellent drone video/still content for our property marketing efforts.
Rick came through for me last minute to film my daughter and husband via drone doing a pier jump for San Diego Junior Lifeguards. He was responsive, confirmed all permit and drone regulations, showed up on time, and turned around the final product the same day.
Worked with Rick a second time within three months after previous tenants moved out. Great Zillow 3D tour created for the now empty house. Prompt, friendly and super efficient, with a high quality product delivered a few hours after the appointment.
Nice job! Efficient and high quality photos with a Matterport walk-through and drone shots. These will make my listing pop!
