These are a few of Maria and Jims wedding photos in Punta Cana at The Paradisus Palma Real Resort. Beautiful location and a great place for a wedding. Maria and her sisters were fun to photograph and  the ceremony was at the lakeside gazebo. Quite beautiful.  My wife Angela shot the video with me which came out beautiful. We both had alot of fun covering this wedding. The Paradisus Palma Real Resort is a trully fine resort, and one of ther best in the Punta Cana area.  I have had the opportunity to photograph many weddings all over Punta Cana at many exceptional resorts including The Paradisus Palma Real. Punta Cana also has some beautiful beaches available, and many visitors from Canada and all over Europe, frequent this beautiful part of the Dominican Republic.           

I want to thank Maria and Jim for allowing me to share in their wedding day.

Foli and Rasaki wedding  was at The Gran Bahia Principe in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. They both reside in the New York area,  and had a real beautiful wedding down in Punta Cana. The day of wedding, the weather was  quite lovelly throughout the day and evening. The ceremony was at the gazebo and reception was held indoors in a private resturaunt.  If you have never been to The Gran Bahia Principe in Punta Cana, its well worth visiting as it has spectacular resturaunts and is known for its overall great service. A trully fine resort.  Foli was  real happy she did not use the hotel recommended photographers, but instead selected to bring her own photographer to photograph her wedding.  Thanks Foli for allowing me to be part of your wedding day.  To see more of Foli’s photos, just go to my website.

Welcome to Gillian and Gareths wedding at Bottom Bay Beach in Barbados. Both Gillian and Gareth are from the Washington DC area and decided to get married in fabulous Barbados. They contacted me to discuss having me shoot the weeding, and within a few weeks they decided on me as the photographer. Barbados is another great Island and lots of good times here so I always love visiting this prestine and picturesque Island. On the wedding day we started  at a  beautiful villa by The Sandy Lane Resort in St. James called  Mon Caprice with their families. Real beautiful home and great location for photos. Then we headed over to Bottom Bay Beach for the beachside ceremony. Bottom Bay Beach is a trully beautiful beach and away from all the busy areas.  Real peaceful and a lovely location to get married.  After the ceremony we took a good amount of real nice photos before heading over to Oistons to the Cafe Luna which is on the roof of The Little Arches  Hotel.  Beautiful beach also outside the hotel and great sunsets from this area.  Barbados is definitely one of my favorite Islands and love shooting weddings here. I love the Christ Church area in Barbados as this is where I generally stay depending on location of wedding.  Any brides looking for one of the best Barbados wedding photographers available to shoot your wedding day, just contact me. I know the Island of Barbados very well and may also help you out in your wedding planning needs on the Island.  Barbados is a great Island to rent a car and see all of Island. There are many beautiful beaches available and weather is preety good all the time. Locals from Barbados are special also, in that they are always friendly and always ready to help out, so go to Barbados one day if you have never been there. You will like it garanteed and many thanks to  Gillina and Gareth always !!!!

These are photos from Tina and Brians courthouse wedding and then on the beach over at The Bucuti Beach Resort in Aruba.  All the other photos are in another post. What can I say but thanks Tina and Brian for picking me to photograph your wedding in beautiful Aruba. Love the opportunity to get back to one of my favorite Islands.  A few things I can say about Aruba is that its always hot and windy,  the people are super nice and friendly, the local foods of Aruba is also quite good,  the beaches are spectacular, the nightlife is fun in Palm Beach in resort areas, and if you like it quite, there is plenty of areas that offer tranquility .and peace. Enjoy all Aruba has to offer and also viewing Tina and Brians wedding day photos in Aruba. As they say in Aruba Bon Bini

These are wedding day photos of Tina and Brian who live up in New Jersey and were married on the beautiful Island of Aruba. For those of you, who have never been to Aruba, I recommend you plan a visit, as its quite lovelly if you like real warm temperatures, a constant breeze which definitely helps you cool down a bit, and gorgeous beaches and white sand. Eagle Beach in Aruba is nice and quite and away from high rise area, so theres a bit less people. Tina and Brian were married earlier in the day at the Courthouse in Oranjestad, and then again later in the day at the beautiful Bucuti Beach Resort in Aruba at Sunset. These are  the photos from Bucuti Beach Resort only. We took alot of photos prior to ceremony which was a good idea as it became dark quite quickly after the ceremony. Tina and Brian were a great couple to photograph and we had good time throughout the day and evening. Food and service was great at The Bucuti Beach Resort as always.  Beautiful location if you are thinking of having a wedding in Aruba.  OK, enjoy Tinas photos,  and give me a call so you may arrange having me photograph your wedding in Aruba.

Back in the Bahamas once again.  This wedding took place at Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. A quick 30 minute flight from Ft. Lauderdale, and I was there. Kertu and Kris are from Austria and hired me to shoot their wedding at Sandals Royal Bahamian. Sandals has a fee that you must pay to use an outside photographer which is not cheap. Its a real bad policy, but bride and groom paid for it regardless as they wanted some beautiful wedding memories. For me, working on any Sandals property is a dream as they offer so many opportunities to create stunning photos. Sandals Royal Bahamian on paradise Island in Bahamas is no exception. This is a trully spectacular property, excellent beach and the food is very good. It was just me and Angela-my wife and Kertu and Kris. We stayed with them for about 4 hours in total. They were a really nice couple to photograph and had lots of fun taking these photos in the beautiful Bahamas.  My advice to all, is to visit the many different Islands of the Bahamas, and also The Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island which is awesome. Me and Angela went for a visit and WOW, its real nice. Well worth a visit as it has wonderful resturaunts and nightlife. Its a huge property so be prepared to walk alot. Downtown Nassau is also nice for shopping as they have lots of stores and sell everything. You can get some good deals there.  Thanks Kertu and Kris for picking me as your photographer in the Bahamas as it was lots of fun.

Jennifer and Jerry were getting married at Couples San Souci in Ocho Rios, Jamaica and hired me to shoot their wedding day photos.  Couples San Souci is fabulous and I also love shooting on that property as it offers some beautiful backgrounds. They braodcast the actual live video of the ceremony  to all their family members who could not attend. It rained a bit that day but no problems at all in capturing some great shots. These are some of the photos taken for my very happy bride and groom. I really enjoy working in Jamaica, so give me a call so we may speak about me shooting your destination wedding in Jamaica.

Let me start by saying about how much I love shooting weddings in Jamaica. Jamaica is a very unique Island. So when Ann and James contacted me about shooting their wedding at The Tryall Club in Jamaica, I was real happy. Ann and James are from Chicago area and selected Tryall Club for their wedding. The owner of the villa was a personal friend of the bride.  The Trall Club is an exclusive private community about 30 minutes outside of Montego Bay. Private villas nestled up in hills overlooking Montego Bay and ocean. Beautiful homes and views. The villa we were at was enormous and all open with incredible views of mountains and sea. Many types of birds would fly thru open home and the evenings were  musical with the tree frogs singing all night.  We took photos the day before wedding around pool and on beach and also on wedding day. The next day they were married at the clubhouse area and there were about 15 people attended  the wedding. It was a great time for me.  I have photographed so many weddings in Jamaica at Sandals, Riu, Couples Swept Away Resort, Couples San Souci , The Tryall Club,Half Moon and Sunset at The Palms, Negril Escape, and many more and know the Island very well.  Jamaica is trully a beautiful Island, and would be a great choice for a wedding, especially if you call me to be your photographer.  These are just a few photos  throughout the 2 days at Tryall Club in Jamaica.

I recently had the opportunity to shoot a wedding at Sandals La Toc in St. Lucia for a couple from Savanah, Georgia. Paula and Tim had planned their wedding at Sandals but did not want to use Sandals photographers and gave me a call if  I would be interested in capturing their wedding day memories. Sandals does not want you to use an outside photographer, but their are ways around that, as all brides should be able to use whoever they desire. The wedding planner at the resort is not getting married so why use who they tell you to use.  The bottom line is that its  your wedding day so you select who you want, not what others tell you.

If looking for best St. Lucia wedding photographer, then give me a call to discuss me photographing your wedding in St. Lucia or anywhere in Caribbean.

Paula and Tims  wedding  was real nice. It was just the bride and groom and me. There were no guests. We had lots of time to take some real nice images. We also went around in my car to take photos off the Resort property. We took some beautiful images.

They had a reception back home afterwards where my photos were shown to all.

If you have never been to Sandals La Toc in St. Lucia, I highly recommend a visit, as St. Lucia is spectacular by all means.

Overall St. Lucia is a lovelly Island and the people area also real nice. Lots of fun in St. Lucia always.

I spend a few days extra as a tourist with my wife and really enjoyed the Island which was excellent.

Then I had to go back to Miami !!!!

Allison and Ben were married in the Dominican Republic in Punta Cana at the Melia Caribe Resort, followed by the reception at The Jellyfish Resturaunt. It was a great wedding as both the Melia and Jellyfish are gorgeous.
We had alot of fun at this wedding. Punta Cana is spectacular and I also love working there.
See more of their photos on my site.

This wedding was a pleasure to photograph in Negril, Jamaica. It was a real beautiul day and night.  Allison and Coby are from Texas and had me document their wedding day at Couples Swpt Away in Negril, Jamaica, where thru my creative vision, was able to get some real nice shots. It is a great location also to work at. Thanks for selecting me as your photographer as it was fun to be part of your wedding day. I love Jamaica, so I adore opportunities to work there anyway. You can see their slide show on my website also.

Hello everybody and this is my first Blog Post.
Well Tamara and Tom had contacted me and asked if I would like to meet them in Aruba, and be part of their wedding day and to capture the days moments.
I love everything about Aruba and its also where I first met my wife Angela 4 years ago, so I enjoy the opportunity to visit this beautiful Island.
They are from Canada and were on a cruise that stopped in Aruba for a day and where they were married first in downtown courthouse and then again on beautiful Eagle Beach.
There were about 18 guests at the wedding in total.
It was a spectacular clear day as usual in Aruba so it made for beautiful photos.
The water was so blue that day as it always is and I remember thinking how lucky I am to be part of this wedding in beautiful Aruba.
After ceremony ended, we did some family photos and then everybody went for a swim in the crystal clear Aruba waters before heading back to the ship in Orangestad. After a nice cold glass of champagne, Tamara, Tom and myself jumped in my rent a car, and drove around for the next 3hours taking photos at various locations that I love in Aruba.
I am very familiar with all of Aruba and some excellent locations available.
We ended up back in Orangestad ourselves and took some more photos in town before we said goodbye and they got back on the ship headed to the next port of call in Curacao, where I have photographed many weddings at Breezes.
After they received their photos They took the time to write me a real sweet letter below that I would like to share Bottom line is that being they were photographers, and wanted very nice photos on this day, and had the budget to accomodate all they wanted to make their day memorable for years to come.
I work real hard to acheive beautiful photographs at all times for all my brides who beleive in my creativity.

See you all later and check out my website.

This is a letter bride wrote for me. She is a sweetheart.

Hope this email finds you well.
Just wanted to let you know that we received the DVD last week. There were so many, that I am still going through them.
The demonstrated level of professionalism, knowledge of photography and dedication to us, your client, was outstanding. Ours was a unique situation and you handled it with ease. A good photographer was our number one priority. We are planning on projecting all of the images of the wedding on a big screen at home during the reception for those who could not attend, therefore, the pictures had to be exceptional. Both myself and husband are wedding photographers, so substandard photography would not stand up to our scrutiny. We had to be able to trust that all of the elements such as correct exposure and composition would be present as we could not go back to Aruba and duplicate the setting or atmosphere of this milestone in our lives. Frank was a perfect choice.
From the initial contact…the response was timely and communication was maintained until days before our cruise set sail. The cruise ship was in port in Aruba for one day and the details of the exact location on Eagle Beach were not finalized until the last minute. We hired Frank for 5 hours while our ship was in Port. Of course as fate would have it, we were late arriving from City Hall to the beach location. You worked efficiently in utilizing the time waiting for us to arrive by photographing family already at the beach. They were quite impressed with your efforts in ensuring you obtained the best possible shot. In fact, we have a candid photo of you up in a tree taking family photos.
The level of dedication to client satisfaction was evident when you demonstrated your familiarity of the island. To our delight, you doubled as a sight seeing tour guide while on route to our next photo destination. Thank you for sharing your wonderful stories with us throughout the day. You were quite accommodating even when we asked you to take our picture in the middle of the road with traffic busy in both directions (probably a little dangerous) or when we asked that you take our picture of us walking amongst the tourist boutiques to capture the essence of the island. A photographer’s ability to put the subject at ease can be key when photographing people.
Thank you for “going above and beyond” our expectations. Taking pictures right up until the ship was ready to leave was more generous than the arrangement that we agreed upon initially. As we made the mad dash for the ship (ran all the way there in our wedding attire) and we reflect back now, we both agree it was all worth it.
The results show your true passion for something that comes naturally to you. Thank you for joining us on the sand in Aruba. Your new tagline should be “The professional photographer that photographer’s use.”
The Best Aruba Wedding Potographer available.
Kindest regards from Canada, eh,
Tamara and Tom Jensen
