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.

los angeles wedding photography | jen + kevin’s diy urban travel themed wedding

los-angeles-travel-themed-wedding-photo-01

This was just featured on Brooklyn Bride!  Check it out!  You may remember Jen & Kevin from their engagement photos.  In a nutshell, Jen lived in LA & Kevin in NY.  They spent most of their relationship apart, so a travel themed engagement session & wedding was fitting.  Since Kevin is a pilot and they spent most of their relationship traveling to see each other, they wanted to incorporate their travels & the different destinations into their wedding.

In keeping with the travel theme, she lined her shoes with NY subway maps – so simple to do and so personalized!  She hand folded hundreds of little paper airplanes and used them in her centerpieces.

Her friend DIY all their adorable flowers!  I love all the boutonnieres!

After their first look, we headed to Union Station for their portraits.  Her fabulous makeup was done by Echou makeup.

Their ceremony & reception took place at J Lounge and Restaurant in downtown LA.  I love all the exposed brick!  And wait until you see the view from the courtyard!

All her stationary had silhouettes of buildings from the different places they have lived.  And her escort cards were like plane tickets!  Each table was a different destination that they had went to as a couple.

One of my favorite detail is the trees above.  Kevin’s mom painted these amazing trees on canvas.  The trees had bare branches where guests would then leave their thumb print on as the leaves and signed their name.

Their reception took place in the outdoor courtyard, right in the middle of downtown LA.

I LOVE their s’mores bar!  There was a fire pit in the courtyard, so Jen had them set up a s’mores bar!  So simple to set up too!

I love all the stationary by Love~d designs!  Another favorite of mine is how they had a cute buffet menu, but also a cute sign that invited guest to come back for seconds & thirds, but to only get what they’ll eat because the rest will be donated to the LA regional food bank.
