Caroline Tran Photographer – Los Angeles Wedding Photography bio picture

about the artist

I love having fun, learning new things, making people smile, and telling stories. I love seeing life through fun angles. I enjoy inspiring others as well as being inspired by others. I have the most supportive husband, best friend, and partner. We enjoy hiking, traveling, our furry kids, snowboarding, weddings, and of course, photography.

I love weddings.  Weddings are filled with thoughtful details and emotions, and I love capturing those precious memories. I love telling vivid wedding stories. I put my heart into every photo, so you will see personality, new perspectives, a great story, and life in my photos.

I work unobtrusively, using my mix of photojournalism, candid, and fine-art portraiture style.  I document those important moments with the most interesting, truthful and beautiful perspective.  I understand how much time and thought is put into each wedding - that’s why it is so important to me that you to experience your big day all over again every time you see your pictures.

The opportunity to capture your memories and tell the story of such a special day is truly an honor to me. I enjoy developing relationships with each couple, which allows me to make each set truly unique & memorable.

This blog is where I will update my most recent photos along with random bits from my life. It is a casual place to get to know each other. If there are specific photos you want to see more of, you can click on the categories at the top to see photos of that category. I hope you find what you’re looking for here. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments!  I’d love to hear from you!

Rancho Capistrano Wedding Photography | Angela + Charles

edit: I just added a few more photos. I keep wanting to share more as I’m working on their photos!

Chemistry with each couple is really important to me, and Angela & Charles was a reminder of why I limit the number of weddings I take a year so that I can really personalize the experience for each couple. From our first meeting, to our walkthrough, to the super fun engagement shoot, we shared some good times together and great meals. I saw them through their planning, and they saw me through my growth. When their wedding day finally came around, I totally shared in the excitment and whole surrealness of it all.

Angela and Charles had a very touching and personal wedding. Even with nearly 400 guest, the entire day felt extremely intimate. The day started out with hair & makeup by makeupartist247. Yessenia & Cynthia did a fabulous job and Angela worked on memorizing her vows.

Meanwhile, bridesmaid and flowergirl got ready upstairs:

Together with Isabelle of Taylor Your Memories, Angela & Charles came up with their beautiful Spanish Tiles theme.

Then it was off to Rancho Capistrano, where Charles was also hard at working groom-ing up:

I love the Spanish tiles all around Rancho Capistrano! I had to take some detail shots with it. Their gorgeous rings from Simon G. I love how dainty her band looks next to his.

And then off to get married! It was such a sweet moment when Angela’s mom walked her down the aisle. That moment when Angela and Charles saw each other, they both broke out in tears. I was literally tearing behind my camera!

And then a roll call picture on the dance floor! Jason from Visions Entertainment did a fabulous job, as always! In every event I have worked with Jason, he has run the show seamlessly. Any event where I know he’s DJ/emceeing, I know it will be a smooth night for me!
