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.)

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!
