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.

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!

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!
