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!

Calamigos Equestrian Wedding | Cindy + Andy

I’ve fallen behind with blogging!  I’m playing catch up since my return from Whistler so things are all a little out of routine at the moment.  Whistler was AMAZING, btw – I’ll have to blog about that soon!

You may remember Cindy & Andy from their two part engagement photos.  It was so emotional and special for me to have been part of their big day, especially since I’ve known Cindy for over 15 years now (back story here).  It’s amazing to see her go from a little 12 year old girl to a beautiful woman who has found genuine true love.  Cindy and Andy could not be anymore perfect for each other!  They love each other so much that they declared it 3 times!  Last year, they had their civil ceremony.  Then in August, they had a Chinese wedding for their families.  And now, this is their party!  It is my first friends-only wedding and it was SO much fun!

Cindy had 2 garters – the one with the bow is to throw and the one with their initials is to keep.

Cindy had her invitations in these beautiful silver Thai silk boxes.  She ordered the boxes directly from Thailand, and assembled everything else herself!

All ready to go!!  I love the excitement in her face!

Before Cindy headed out, she tucked her their two children, Monkey-bear and Andy-bear.  If you squeeze Andy-bear’s hand, it says, “Love, will you marry me?”  *melts!*

All the guys sported matching Nike Dunks with purple accents!

Escort cards were placed in custom toasting flutes.  And the perfect heart shaped cookies for their Valentine’s wedding!

The room was filled with lavender uplights.  Uplights not only create such great ambiance, but also provide wonderful lighting for photography.  Each centerpiece also had pinspots to make them pop.  Check out the gorgeous centerpieces!  I love the pair of tulips in the vases!

And a big group shot of everyone who came to celebrate their wedding!  I’ll end their story here because after this shot, the rest of the night was filled with 151 shots.  Crazy partiers!
