Caroline Tran Photographer – Los Angeles Wedding Photography bio picture

about the artist

I've always loved telling stories, but never enjoyed writing. When I
found photography, it was the perfect medium for me to express myself. With each shoot, I unveil the unique stories of
my subjects, and tell them with beautiful imagery. People often tell me
that they feel like they know my clients just from reading my blog.

They say photographs are the only tangible memories after a wedding,
which means that my perspective is how you will remember your big day.  With that in mind, I have to capture the details (big and
small) in the most beautiful light. I want you to laugh and cry (tears
of joy, of course) when you look at your photos. Whether it's your wedding day or your babies growing up, time goes
by so fast, so it's
my job to document your story... beautifully.

I am based in Los Angeles, but love to travel.

Destination weddings are most certainly welcomed!

In order to give each client my full creative energy, I only take a limited number of weddings a year. (aka I book up fast and don't offer discounts.)

Los Angeles Pregnancy, Labor, and Newborn Photography

Things happened faster than I can blog, so this entry will have to cover all 3 events.  It has been amazing watching little Zoe’s life unfold before my eyes.  Our adventure began when she was still in mommy’s tummy.

Look at all the people waiting for Zoe’s arrival:

She carries Zoe with so much strength and pride.   I hope to feel as empowered as she is when it comes my turn.

And in just a few weeks, we were all at the hospital waiting for Zoe’s arrival.  She was so eager to enter this world!  At 10:10pm, we were all just waiting around.

And by 11pm, the nurse was already cleaning you up!  Delivery was relatively quick, and SUCH a miracle!  It amazes me what our bodies can do!  O_o  And even more amazed me how the baby knows what to do!

happy birthday, zoe

Proud mommy with little Zoe.  It’s amazing how as soon as the baby enters the world, you forget all about the labor and delivery.

Lucky for me, I got to see Zoe again at 2 weeks old.  Must be so frustrating being a baby – there’s no way to communicate what you need.

such a hard life

But then I see moments like these and feel life as a baby must be so easy and peaceful.

Look at her cute, little, newborn feet!  Her toes are like little grapes!

I love the silly little expression!

Welcome little Zoe to this big world.  You will soon romp around and explore the greatness of this world.

Newport Beach Yacht Wedding Photography | Lisa & Khai

Lisa and Khai had such a cute wedding from beginning to end.  The beginning was a great indicator of what type of day we would have.   We began in Pasadena as the girls got ready:

Lisa is all ready and ready to get married!

We then headed over to Caltech’s campus in Pasadena for some portraits.  Good thing we had a permit to shoot because as soon as we stepped foot out of our car, a security drove right up to us asking for our permit.  They’re quick!

I also love this next photo.  It’s so nostalgic to me.  My aunt actually has a very similar photo like this from her wedding over 25 years ago.

Then we left Los Angeles and drove down to Newport Beach to board a 3 deck yacht for their ceremony & reception!  It was so beautiful.  Lisa had to hideout while they boarded all her guest on the yacht, so that gave me some alone time with her.  I love the anticipation in the bridal room.

Mean while on the upper deck… I love this little boy waiting in the aisle:

I love these large, candid, group photos we’ve been doing them.  I have started to call them “Roll Call”.  These have been taken during the recessional.  I love the candid/fun spin this puts to group photos.

I love their “Message in a bottle” favors that also doubled as bells/noisemakers during the reception.

Chicken or Fish?  Isn’t it the cutest?

I wish you two much happiness and love in this next journey together.  Congrats on a beautiful wedding!
