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.)

UCLA engagement photos | kim + minh

ucla engagement photos

Kim and Minh met while attending UCLA, so it was only natural to go back to where they met for their engagement photos!  Their wedding colors are blue & yellow too, so the whole UCLA theme just worked out perfectly!  Kim brought a whole bag of props, so it was fun rummaging through and deciding what/how to use them.

Here is their fun love story!

We figure we might as well get an obligatory shot with the bear, but as I was photographing it, I realized how scary the bear actually is!

I also loved how the bubbles went with the balloon.  I think it takes skill to blow good bubbles!

I know I’ve done this before, but I had to do a shot of him being carried away by the balloon too.  :)

And of course you have to have a shot in front of Royce Hall.

To get this last shot, we were literally communicating via cell phone.  I would give them instructions, then we’d put our phones down, do the shot, then pick up our phones again for the next set of instructions.  haha.  gotta love technology!

Can’t wait for their wedding THIS Saturday!!!  They’re such a fun, loving couple and so good together.  I know we’re going to have fun at their wedding!
