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.

southern CA wedding | may + brian

During the beginning stages of our wedding planning, Jonathan and I entertained the idea of getting married on our college campus.  I thought it would be so meaningful and cute because we could DIY everything!  The thought then became overwhelming because I didn’t know how to pull it off with style.  I wish I knew May & Brian then because they DIY’ed almost everything on her college campus and everything was amazing!  You may remember them from their engagement session.  They’re fun, adventurous, and super cute together.  They hosted the perfect wedding on the Harvey Mudd campus.

I love the little lanterns they hung down the aisle.

Eco-friendly tip:  instead of printed programs, they used sidewalk chalk and wrote their program on the floor at the entrance.

I love that image above on the right.  I love the way they looked at each other as they were just about to have their first kiss as husband & wife.

They had their reception in the dining commons!  Check out the transformation!

They came in the night before to decorate the dining hall.  They all manually set up the table & chairs, including the chair covers & sash!  They also hung up all the lanterns themselves!  They tied the lanterns to magnets (neodymium?) and stuck them on the ceiling beams.  So smart!  Of course, they’re both engineers.

Check out their skills!  Brian was a cheerleader in college and did several back flips that night!  He’s also an amazing dancer!

Their cake was also DIY!   And SUPER yummy too!  I think it was a berry trifle.
