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’m slowly catching up with my blogging!  We have our studio’s open house event next week and I stayed up until 4:30am last night working on favors.  It’s like planning a wedding again… well, like 1/10th of a wedding, but still fun.  If you’re in the LA area and would like to stop by, drop me an email and I’ll send you an invite!

Today, I’d like to share with you the full set of Janet & Benedict’s wedding, which was featured on Style Me Pretty!  You may remember Janet & Ben from their fun LA engagement photos.  Well, they got married and everything was just amazing!

I love her gorgeous dress by San Patrick and adorable shoes by Badgley Mischka.

Her bouquet is so fun & romantic!  Great job to LV floral events.

And I LOVE all these fabric/ribbon boutonnieres that Janet made herself!  I LOVE DIY!

And isn’t this the most adorable cake ever?  The cake is from Beverly’s Best Bakery.

And this is one of the most charming guest book I’ve seen.   Their silhouettes & the Rolodex is so simple, but so clever!

And as if things couldn’t get any cuter, the escort cards were buttons!  Yes, another genius DIY project.

You may have noticed that they had a very small cake.  So how were they supposed to feed their 200+ guests??  Matching cupcakes!  I love the signage they got from Indigo Bunting!

Their reception setting was so enchanting!  The twinkle lights, the trees, the fountain… would you be surprised if I told you that this was right smack in the center of LA?  Right at the intersection of two main freeways.  I’m so thankful for such a retreat in the middle of the city.

And I’m a sucker for little vases, especially milk glass!

Does it get anymore romantic than a first dance at twilight??  …it actually does!  Keep reading!

Janet then changed into her traditional Korean hambok and when she same out, Ben surprised her by bringing her onto the middle of the dance floor and serenading her!

Janet said one of her most memorable moment of the night is when Ben would sneak in smiles to her from behind the drum set during the serenade.  so so sweet!

Everyone had an amazing time!  Would you believe me if there were hiccups on this day?  Janet later told me that many of her other DIY stuff were forgotten in the car, but Ben reminded her to look around and see all the people who came to celebrate with them, and nothing could’ve made her any happier.  Sometimes during the planning, it’s easy to get lost in the details, but never forget the bigger picture of why you’re getting married.  As you can see, this wedding turned out perfect.
