My husband and I loved working with Andrew and Brandon! I can confidently say that they work they deliver will exceed your expectations!

Salty Trades Media - Here's a special moment of our wedding day - the petal toss! - Video/Film Production Near Me

See all

On 5.23.19 at 4:30pm, the love of my life and I shared the most beautiful moments together on the island 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. With much love and happiness, Jordan and Bianca Epperson Please find below the link to our wedding cinema: https://youtu.be/s5bOKIeJvIk read more

Andrew was our cinematographer for our wedding in Maui, and I am so elated with the cinema he has made for us. It's beautiful, it is touching, and I have received so many compliments! Many people expressed to me that they have cried watching the cinema. Others have said they could feel the love expressed through the cinema. I have shared a few comments that family and friends have made in the picture section. Andrew's work speaks for itself, and the comments from my family and friends are proof of how amazing his work really is. I am so happy we found Andrew, I will forever have his cinema as my memory of our wedding and I can see it and share it whenever because it is on YouTube. The YouTube link to our video is so easy to share with family and friends through text. I highly recommend going with Andrew- Salty Trades Media. Thank you so much Andrew! We so appreciate you! read more

Andrew, you were a pleasure to work with. You did a fantastic job capturing the mood, setting and family chemistry in the cinematography of Bianca and Jordan's wedding. The final product was amazing. How you filmed the angles and remained undetected throughout the wedding ceremony and reception is an ability/skill you are great at. Ecclesiastes, a word I'll never miss pronounce again. read more

Andrew and his assistant are very professional. My husband and I are not the kinds of people who take a lot of photos, so we are pretty clueless about what kind of photos we want and what kind of pose should we be doing LOL Andrew just told us what to do, and the photos came out great! He is very accommodative and his rate is very reasonable as well. Would definitely recommend to friends and family! read more

Andrew and Sarah (who assisted with lighting) far exceeded our expectations! From the very start Andrew was prompt, informative and engaged in setting up the perfect time and place for our sunset pictures. I was so surprised when I received the email with the link to our professionally edited photos the next day after our photos were taken. They were both very attentive during the whole shoot. Really took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. Took many poses and locations to make sure we got every possible picture we could want! Andrew had awesome ideas of groupings for our photos and really knew his stuff. They also made it a fun experience for my two young boys which is a total plus! I only wish we lived on Maui so they could take our yearly family photos! We would definitely recommend them for a great experience! Mahalo! read more

If you are in Maui and need a great photographer with lots of patience I truly recommend Andrew. I worked with him and his wife for our wedding pictures and we love all of them. Easy to work with fun and outgoing. read more

I am so glad we found Andrew and Sarah to do our family pics! I was really looking for a photographer who would be able to capture a family shot that could stand the test of time. I definitely think understanding lighting is the key to beautiful images and Andrew understands lighting well. He brought along extra equipment to help get the nicest skin tones at sunset without shadows and without having to overedit the shots like I often see photogs do when they just don't address lighting properly at the time of the shoot. The pictures were beautiful straight out of the camera, he showed me as we went along so that he could tweak anything if necessary. Great communication! Andrew and a Sarah were friendly, they helped direct all 4 of my kids well, pricing was very reasonable, and we got exactly what we wanted. I will definitely be using them again! read more

I am never a person that's huge on writing review, but I really want to say we were so lucky to have found Andrew's company Salty Trades cinematography service on Maui. We watched a lot video and we decided to go with Salty Trades because Andrew's video stood out from the rest. And we couldn't be happier with the whole process, the finished video and all the responses we have gotten from family and friends! Andrew was great to work with, always prompt and easy to communicate with, and he answered any concerns we had and reassured us with our decision. He invited us over to his house before the wedding to go over what to expect on the day, recorded our vows, and answered any last minute jitters. He really made us feel comfortable with the process from beginning to end, and it was a huge relieve from the stress of planning out the wedding. He invited us back to watch the video before we left the island. The video is amazing, it really captured everything we had hoped for and much more! Please see for yourself, https://youtu.be/vf5PFGu1eFs It has been a while since the wedding, we still get the raw emotions of the day every time we watch it. If you are thinking about booking him for your wedding, don't hesitate!!! He have captured memories we will cherish forever! read more

Andrew and his team did an outstanding job producing a video for our vacation rental on Maui! Others have commented on the professional look of the video and how it helped our website stand apart from other rentals. He was very creative in his camera angles and editing using professional video equipment that would have cost us an arm and a leg with another producer. read more
