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!

Travel welcomed!

Booking exclusively for 2010.

FYI, there is only one Saturday left for each April, May, and September.

Wednesday, April 22, 2009 Posted in engagements

Vivian couldn’t decide between the city or the beach, so she ended up adding on an additional session to do both. We ended our fun afternoon together at the beach. After Union Station and Walt Disney Concert Hall, we headed to Santa Monica to catch sunset. The light was amazingly beautiful! I really love how this bird flew into our picture!

Check out the goooorgeous light! I love sunset!

And I love how this bird (same bird?… probably not, but still cool) flew into this last picture too!

Vivian and Sean, thank you so much for letting me witness and document such an exciting and intimate time in your lives. I am so so honored to have been part of this whole process even before your engagement! I cannot wait to see all the gorgeous details you are planning for your big day come together!
