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
