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.

Since Diane and Eric both live up north, I didn’t meet the two of them until they came down to LA for their engagement photos.  Right from the start, I could see how genuinely they admire, love, and care for each other.  And at their wedding, I was reminded again how perfect they are together.  They both have an amazing love for each other, life, the people in their lives, and God.

They met through a mutual friend while Diane was visiting New York and it was instant chemistry.  A few years ago, they moved to San Jose and here’s the beginning of a new chapter in their lives…

Their wonderful day took place at Hotel Valencia.  Diane’s beautiful dress is by Vera Wang.

Eric’s a car fanatic, so it was only appropriate to have carbon fiber cuff links & tie clip from Mont Blanc.

Anyone looking for an alternative to your traditional cocktail hour?  How about a Pinkberry hour!  To cut cost, Diane and Eric decided to cut the alcohol and do something more fun.  Everyone loved the Pinkberry and it was enjoyed by everyone of all ages!

While guest enjoyed their Pinkberry, we ran around Santana Row for some fun couple photos.

And a giant chess board!  There was actually a game going on at the time, but they were so nice to pause their chess game for us to take a few wedding photos.  King and Queen!
