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.)

I invite you to share in Jennifer & Matthew’s beautiful wedding at the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden. It was full of culture, beauty, and tons of DIY!

Her beautiful dress above is a traditional Korean dress called a hanbok, but with a modern twist. It was designed by the talented Kim Mehee, who designed Sandra Oh’s dress for the SAG awards. The colors just make me smile!

So crazy part… Jennifer DIY’ed all her flowers! Check out these cute boutonnieres she made with peacock feathers.

AND she made her own bouquet!! amazing, isn’t it?? Want to know a secret? They are fake flowers. O_O Can you tell? I saw them in person and couldn’t even tell! They were even real to the touch!

I love it when couples give lots of time beforehand for portraits. I know the garden is beautiful, but check out this gorgeous field I found! I’m a sucker for open fields!

And then some portraits in the beautiful garden. I just love her bouquet and his boutonniere.

Isn’t the garden just so dreamy? I LOVE it!

She decorated with lots of cultural touches – her guestbook was a scroll, programs in a chest, and the Japanese garden lent itself to the Asian theme well. And then the ceremony began!

Her beautiful cake was by Rossmoor. Look at the detail on the cherry blossoms! I love her cherry blossom cake!

Congrats you two on the perfect wedding for the perfect marriage!
