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.)

While Tina and I were brainstorming for their engagement shoot, she sent me a photo from one of max wanger’s engagement session as her inspiration. I was in love with the pink balloon! When they showed up to our shoot with a pink balloon, I was as like a kid in a candy store! They are so fun and cute together. It was pure joy running around Griffith Observatory with them. I love the pink balloon they brought along – I’m so glad they came across the idea! Thanks max for the inspiration!

Aren’t they so so sweet?! I love how loving he is here.

Such a gorgeous view there. And such a gorgeous couple!

Don’t let the balloon’s cuteness fool you – it was really strong!!

And I just love the next few photos.

up up and away! Disclaimer: we secured the balloon so it didn’t really fly away – wouldn’t want it to land in the ocean or anything like that!

Thank you Tina & Tim for such a fun shoot! I can’t wait for your wedding in April!
