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!

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!
