Salty Trades Media
My name is Andrew Barrera. I've always had a passion for capturing moments. I was first handed a camera on my 12th birthday. By the age of 16, I placed 3rd in the national "Buckle Your Seat Belt Video Commercial" competition. Now 32 years young I bring over a decade of experience to you. My company is built on the standards of "No Limits".

I represent a network of skilled professionals ranging from Audio Engineers to Graphic Designers. No project is too big or small. Everything from commercial video production to simple family photo shoots. My experience is in anything a camera should be placed in front of. I was an award winning Top Sales Executive for multiple fortune 500 companies.

Using slower pace music, with a relaxing tropical style vibe, can make a viewer feel as if they are on vacation! If this is your preference, we have you covered! Our most popular cinema style for real estate! While it's neither relaxing/tropical nor edgy/exciting, it's certainly captivating and radiates pure emotion through absolute beauty!
Having professional photos is crucial to generating traffic to your listing and very necessary to establish a good first impression on potential buyers. We use ultra wide high quality lenses, compose with a mixture of natural and artificial lighting, and often times blend multiple exposures to create the perfect shot!
The top Real Estate Agents on the island not only market their listings, they advertise THEMSELVES! We produce effective result driven content for those looking to increase their internet searchability and join the 21st century of marketing. Amongst too many benefits to list, having a Professional Profile Video adds a high level of sophistication to your business.
There is no better way to relive the precious moments of your special day then with cinematic video. It starts with the audio production. Your spoken vows, the officiant's prepared script, to the guests' sniffles from the tears of joy. We use studio quality wireless microphones to ensure crystal clear recordings of every single word.
Maui is a popular destination for Family Vacations! Leaving the island is never easy! Nothing helps commemorate the good times like a Professional Photo shoot! We work with children of all ages, and groups of any size! Our typical recommendation is staged on a beach with a sunset background! These shots require professional lighting and an assistant, but yield the most upscale and beautiful photos!

Andrew produced terrific photos and a video of our short term rental condominium. The shots were well composed and really showed off our place. He turned the work around very quickly and we are very happy with the results.

WOW! I was beyond impressed with Andrew and his amazing work! We hired Salty Trades to film our wedding ceremony and our video was more then we expected! Our cinematic video was produced to perfection, from flow to every detail of the ceremony, Andrew captured our story and created an absolute stunning video! People who have seen it tell us they felt like they were at our wedding and they tear up watching it! Andrew is so much fun to work with as well! I didn't know what to expect and he made us feel very comfortable the entire process. He took time to get to know us and our story, then asked us

If I could give 10 stars or more I would. While searching for a videographer, I was on youtube and stumbled upon one of Andrew’s wedding videos. From the transitions of scenery to the couples saying their vows, to his beautiful drone shots. It immediately caught my attention, his attention to detail and catching those special moments, showed me his passion and it was shown through is artwork of cinema. Andrew was there from the start of our journey, he was outgoing, passionate and showed so much love throughout the process of explaining his process. We knew that the final outcome would be Epic

I can confidently say that they work they deliver will exceed your expectations! The photos really captured those precious once-in-a-lifetime moments that any couple would dream of for their wedding day, and the video put us and our family/friends to tears because it was extremely warm and emotional - check it out yourselves:

Andrew is the best of the best. He made the most stunning and entertaining video of our B&B in Maui. From our first conversation I knew he was our guy; he listened, internalized, and came up with a plan for our video and had the confidence, experience, skills and equipment to execute it beautifully. I can go on and on about how awesome the end result is, but why don't you check it out for yourself and be the judge! :)

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.

Andrew and his Team at Salty Trades Media did an AWESOME job with capturing photo/video footage of our wedding day! In planning our wedding my husband and I were debating as to contract a photo/videographer; we are extremely happy that we did!!! Andrew was on top of everything, he replied and answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner.

Andrew and his Team have the highest quality audio, multiple Ultra HD cameras and "DRONE" coverage! Andrew provided us with a "Cinematic" that highlights our wedding and it is BEAUTIFUL!!! We have watched it over and over again

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

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

As a real estate professional, I understand the value of video for my sellers and buyers alike. His professional sales background in combination with his communication skills, make any client visit a real pleasure. Scripting a story for video is not easy. Andrew has perfected this ability and manages to smoothly integrate those ‘golden moments’ captured on video. Weather the final product is a listing video, a testimonial video with clients or a personal introduction, Andrew has the gift to virtually express what is important to the viewer. He is a master with his camera equipment, the post

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

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

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.

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

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!

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.

We decide to get our Vrbo updated with new photos and a video.. Good news the photos are so fabulous and so is the video! We've been with Vrbo for a couple of years and some how our September and October were totally open!! After the photos were redone we were completely booked in 2 weeks!!! No joke, maybe it was a fluke or the AMAZING job!! I highly recommend!!
