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!

I am based in Los Angeles, but travel and destination weddings are welcome!
I book weddings up to 15 months in advance.

My wedding
calendar is booked through April 2011.

hollywood engagement photos | desiree + steve

Tuesday, May 26, 2009 Posted in engagements

Steve proposed to Desiree up in the beautiful Hollywood Hills, overlooking the entire Los Angeles. When it came time to finding a spot to do engagement photos, the Hollywood Hills was an obvious! I love these two! They are both so much fun and so loving. Coincidentally, I dormed with Desiree back in our freshman year in college, and Steve happens to be best friends with one of my best friends from high school (which we didn’t know until our consultation). I love what a small world this is!

He put a flower in her hair! aww, reminds me of the Jason Mraz song, Lucky. Which I think describes them both very well too. I love the light in the next photo on the right. Gotta love sunset in LA!

I love this next photo. They are so cute & adorable together.

LOVE the light! The light is almost as gorgeous as them.

I can’t wait for your big day!
