Amazing! Went so far above and beyond and made sure everything was extra special. Stop deciding on your vendor and hire Salty Trades!
My husband and I loved the final product. In one word, it was "magical"!
The photos really captured those precious once-in-a-lifetime moments and the video put us and our family/friends to tears because it was extremely warm and emotional - just what we were looking for. Highly recommended!
Andrew is awesome! He captured every moment just as we had hoped! We had a sunset wedding and he made sure our moments looked as amazing as we had hoped. On top of that we got our edited pictures back in days...not weeks or months like you might expect with other photographers. Thank you Andrew for ensuring our special day was everything we hoped for.
As I'm sure most of us know, finalizing all the many details of a wedding is stressful, to say the least, and all while your engagement and wedding prep is supposed to be such an enjoyable time in your life! As I began to focus on the videography details for our special day, I was left feeling disappointed, and discouraged by the lack of professionalism, the untimely responses to my inquiries, and the insanely exorbitant prices I was finding from the vendors I contacted, (simply because the term "wedding" was included...) That was until, I found Salty Trades!
While I felt all the other videographers I reached out to, were needlessly capitalizing on, and taking advantage of the couple's once in a lifetime event, Salty Trades' prices were extremely reasonable for what was being offered, especially for what was produced as our final wedding videography product!
From the first response to my inquiries by owner, Andrew, to the final viewing of our wedding video, all communication was very timely, and impressively professional, yet pleasantly friendly! It was as if Andrew were just an old, close friend of ours, who had known us for a long time, and who wanted to give us the best wedding gift he could, through his talents!
Having never done this before, and having no experience in asking the right questions about wedding videography options, Andrew answered all my many questions with patience, and I felt a genuine interest from him in our love story. Andrew stayed on top of keeping us on track with scheduling our initial couple's interview, and our vow pre-recordings in his personal recording studio. He stayed in contact with our pastor, and requested the wedding ceremony details so that he could familiarize himself with what would take place on our special day, and be ready for all the important moments, so that he could be in just the right spots, and just the right times!
His experience in capturing weddings left me feeling completely at ease, and totally confident in his abilities to make our wedding video perfect, according to our wishes! His focus on us, made us feel as if we were the only couple with which his demands were attentive to! The personal interest we felt he took in us, left us feeling as though we had gained a new friend!
The finished product was completed in a timely manner, as we eagerly awaited the ability to share our video with our loved ones, especially with those who were unable to attend our wedding! We were invited to the first showing of the video, where we were simply blown away at the incredible capture of our most precious day, and moments! He made sure that we had all we needed in order to keep and protect our wedding video, our full sound recordings, and our uncut, full version video! All this was offered to us at a price that two, simple, hardworking individuals could afford without breaking the bank!
Andrew has a true passion for, and love for what he does, and he puts his whole heart, soul, and energy into the finished product! It truly was the best decision we made throughout the whole wedding planning process, and we will be eternally grateful for the gift he gave to us of capturing our very special day, and all our special moments!
Thank you endlessly, Salty Trades!
Salty Trades will deliver as promised! We just had them film our wedding on Maui, and they did a perfect job. The results are stunning, and we've had many compliments from our family and friends! Their attention to detail, calm demeanor, and professional quality make them an easy choice. Thanks Andrew and team!
After looking for videographers for months and months, I was almost settled on having no video as there was nothing within our budget that which suited our style. Andrew was fantastic from the moment that we made contact. We were so happy with the whole process, he was extremely professional on the day and delivered a video that was beyond hat we had hoped for. One of the best decisions we made with our wedding!
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! 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!
Andrew and his team delivered an output that is above expectation. It’s more than we have dreamed or hope for. They’re very easy and fun to work with. Choosing them to do our vid/photo for our wedding is the best decision my husband and I ever made. Highly satisfied with the photos, especially the cinematic wedding film! It’s AMAZING! Highly recommended.
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.
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

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. 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!
*Side Note: I follow Andrew on YouTube, and watching his videos always amaze me and touch me as if I know the couple. Knowing the heart and hard work Andrew puts into making his product, makes them just that more special. With Andrew, I didn't feel like I was just another one of his customers, because the service he provides feels so individualized and personal to both my husband and I. We hope to see you again Andrew!
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
Priceless!
So amazingly talented! I could not stop crying watching our video. The quality, the song choice, and the variety of angles really kept the highlight video engaging. This is the most precious memory that I will cherish forever. Thank you Andrew for capturing our special day.
