Black Tie Photography and Cinema

Shawn shot our large format photos for our trucks auto wrap. Essentially it is a billboard on wheels 4 ft wide by 13 ft long where you need exceptionally clarity.The photos can out fantastic and besides using them on our six roofing trucks for LeakMaster Roofing, we also use them as a header for our new, soon to be updated website at www.leakmaster.com.You can trust Shawn to be attentive to detail and make the shoot a pleasant affair.He was the only photographer allowed to shoot the official photos at Pres. Obama's recent fundraiser at APEC in November. Imagine working with the President for over two hours alone with his most enthusiastic supporters, and being trusted to get the pictures just right! At $5,000 a handshake you better not blow ia single shot. And he didn't. Be sure to check out his photo with the President which was shot by a Secret Service agent. Classic!I've known and trusted Shawn for 22 years and I highly recommend him.

Black Tie Cinema shot our wedding day with astounding vision and expertise. We were very critical in planning our special day, and we were also budget conscious. Shawn and Cory went above and beyond our expectations not only in their performance on the wedding day, but also in every correspondence before and after the event. They beautifully captured all of the special moments in our day with an artistic flair in some photos, but a journalistic style in others. Even though this was a destination wedding with a 6-hour time difference, communication was fluid and Shawn was committed to our concerns. We are so thankful for their hard work and dedication to our amazing wedding, and we very highly recommend Black Tie Cinema.

Amazing Photos! Shawn did our engagement and wedding photos and I couldn't be happier. He had a perfect custom location picked for the engagement session and his personality was extremely calming, which made us look so natural and happy in the final results. Capturing those special moments on our wedding day was even more important and I will cherish them forever. Thanks Shawn!

Shawn was the photographer we selected to take some professional photos on our family vacation in Hawaii. My family isn't really easy or cooperative when it comes to taking pictures but Shawn did an excellent job in keeping them calm and relaxed so we all looked natural in the pictures he took. The end result... the pictures came out fantastic! We loved the pictures he took! In fact we're ready to take one of his pictures and have it blown up and printed on canvas so we can put it in our family room for our friends and family to enjoy! We were very impressed with his work and the professional and responsive manner he runs his business.I'd definitely recommend Black Tie Photography and Cinema to anyone who has any professional photography needs in Oahu.Last couple notes - Our photo session was at Ko'olina near Aulani and Paradise Cove Luau. Black Tie prices were very reasonable and they are very responsive to any questions you might have via yelp or direct from their website.
