It was really stressful to find services from a different location based on the internet. I am only writing this review to help others. Sheryl was amazing! She puts so much thought into each photo to make sure you get the photos you want along with her expertise. I would recommend her over and over. She really put my mind at ease and captured exactly what we were looking for. She really went above and beyond. Not being very photogenic myself, she really helped us with poses and made us comfortable. I would strongly recommend using Sheryl!!!!

From start to finish, they captured every tender, joyful, and unforgettable moment with such care and artistry. The final film brought tears to all our eyes--it was simply stunning and so thoughtfully crafted. Stephan was an absolute pleasure to work with: professional, kind, and incredibly talented. If you're looking for a wedding videographer, I cannot recommend him highly enough. A+ all around.

I don't even know where to start with how fantastic it was working with Napili Studios for our Maui…read morebeach elopement! My husband and I had never been to Hawaii and were unsure with how it would be planning a wedding somewhere we've never been. After some research, it's was crystal clear that Napili Studios was the best choice for us . This was based on reviews and the photos posted within reviews simply spoke for themselves of the quality provided by Napili Studios! We reached out via email and heard back almost immediately from Christine, who wears many hats. Christine set up a time for a call and went over our options and described areas to us. She sent a very thorough email with links to help us decide what was best for us and within an hour, we were ready to book! The responsiveness and customer care we received every step of the way from Christine was nothing short of absolutely flawless! Other businesses could really take some notes from this stand-out company on how to treat their customers! Within just a few days, we had all the details nailed down. Initially, the thought of booking a wedding many states away was so stressful and held many unknowns, but it honestly couldn't have been any easier or more stress-free! Weeks before our wedding, the tragic fires in Maui happened. The area we were supposed to have our ceremony in was closed off due to damages. Christine reached back out and gave us a ready list of options to pivot to. Once again, this should've been extremely stressful to pivot just weeks before the big day, but Christine had it completely handled and it was a piece of cake! Our wedding day was picture perfect! Napili Studios didn't skip a beat. All the details of our day were perfect from our leis and flowers, to my hair and makeup done by the lovely Jen Castelo, to our sweet officiant Joe! It was wonderful meeting Isa, the owner/photographer and our photo shoots went off without a hitch! Upon meeting Isa, I knew our photos would be stunning. He communicated well and was fun to work with! Hands down, if you're planning an elopement in Maui, don't hesitate! The island is open and we had the very best time! If you're reading this review, look no further than Napili. Working with them is everything could you possibly hope for when it comes to planning your special day! We're so thankful for our beautiful memories and know we picked the very best team to make our wedding day truly a dream come true!

She helped walk me through all the steps to set up our appointment with the marriage agent. And we absolutely loved our officiant (Euta) and wedding photographer (Isa) too! Everyone was so kind and friendly. They really made us feel so at ease and able to really enjoy the special moment. The photographer and his assistant were so kind and took a few extra photos on my iPhone so that we could share a few with family back home since we eloped. We're really looking forward to seeing the professional wedding photos! I highly recommend Napili Events!

On 5.23.19 at 4:30pm, the love of my life and I shared the most beautiful moments together on the…read moreisland of Maui at Sugar Beach Events. Surrounded by family and friends, Andrew Barrera of Salty Trades Media captured not only the visual representation of our wedding, but all of the raw passion, support and sounds that accompanied it. Andrew was able to record over 7 hours of love on our big day and poetically composed a 7 minute cinema for us to enjoy, share and reminisce upon. I feel it's very important to note that Andrew of Salty Trades is NOT A VIDEOGRAPHER. Andrew is a CINEMATOGRAPHER. He will not just record your day, he will turn it into a movie fit for the big screen. The difference is in the way he captures the events and later edits them. The difference is in the passion and love he puts behind his art. Most wedding vendors see the event as a paycheck or a simple "money-maker" so to speak. But not Andrew. From the beginning, when we first found Andrew, he was so elated and excited to help us capture our big day. He was so helpful and answered every single one of our questions without dancing around it. He was super kind and friendly but also straight to the point when it came to answering our questions which made it easy to understand him. He took his time explaining each option that he had available to us and went in-depth about what the difference was between him and everybody else. Needless to say, we made the right decision. Andrew brought a personal touch to the entire wedding. He brought us into his home to record our vows in his PROFESSIONAL RECORDING STUDIO. This gave us the opportunity to recite our vows in a quiet place that would allow for "crisp and clear" audio for our cinema. His wife Sarah welcomed us with open arms and his dogs Lily and Charlie were the most loving little pups on island. He made us feel like family. He coached us through the entire recording process and made us feel comfortable so that we had very little to stress about (because if you're getting married, you already understand that you've got enough stress on your plate as it is) because he understands what it's like to be in our shoes. Andrew gave us peace of mind, which for newly weds, is all we want. But above all, He gave us the best cinema that we could have ever asked for. Our family, our friends, our coworkers, everyone that has ever taken them time to view it, have stated it's not just a video, "it's a movie". We've received so many texts and comments about how much they love it and how they cried while watching it, accompanied with crying emojis. It's a fairytale cinema that every bride and groom want. At the end of our trip on 5.30.18, Andrew again, asked us to stop by his house to check out our cinema. Please note that we were married on 5.23.19. Andrew completed our cinema in 6 days and he presented it to us on the 7th day. This meant he worked tirelessly through the days and nights to provide us with our movie. His hard work went above and beyond anything we could've ever asked for. He provided us with 7 hours of raw 4K footage, our full 25 minute ceremony in 4K(on a separate file), over 50 still-shots captured from the 4K footage (in separate files), our very own YouTube link that NEVER EXPIRES, a 60 second snippet for social media that then redirects to our YouTube link with a simple click, and explained that he would keep all of it himself on a personal hard drive so that in case we ever lost it, he would have it. As well as to pull still shots from at a later date should we choose to. Andrew provided us with the professionalism and quality cinema and was absolutely worth every dollar. He is not just a cinematographer. Andrew and his wife are now family to us both. We cannot emphasize enough how proud we are of his work. I hope that everyone who reads this, sincerely considers every word and discusses with Andrew what he can do for you at your special event. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Andrew for everything you've done for us.
