Caroline Tran Photographer – Los Angeles Wedding Photography bio picture

about the artist

I've always loved telling stories, but never enjoyed writing. When I
found photography, it was the perfect medium for me to express myself. With each shoot, I unveil the unique stories of
my subjects, and tell them with beautiful imagery. People often tell me
that they feel like they know my clients just from reading my blog.

They say photographs are the only tangible memories after a wedding,
which means that my perspective is how you will remember your big day.  With that in mind, I have to capture the details (big and
small) in the most beautiful light. I want you to laugh and cry (tears
of joy, of course) when you look at your photos. Whether it's your wedding day or your babies growing up, time goes
by so fast, so it's
my job to document your story... beautifully.

I am based in Los Angeles, but love to travel.

Destination weddings are most certainly welcomed!

In order to give each client my full creative energy, I only take a limited number of weddings a year. (aka I book up fast and don't offer discounts.)

stylized vintage inspired photos | jen + jason

I’m sad that my Whistler trip has come to an end.  I’m probably flying home as you read this.  To brighten my day, ready for part 2 of Jen & Jason’s awesome anniversary session?  Well if you haven’t checked out part 1 yet, go check out their stylized vintage picnic photos first and read about the making of it on Green Wedding Shoes.

I love that photo of the lonely arm chair.  Isn’t the color of the upholstery awesome? 

vintage-engagement-photo-05

I have a thing for trees, especially cool symmetrical trees like above.  I’m a sucker for symmetry… and trees.  You can imagine how excited I was to have found those trees!

Jen’s dress & boots were so cute!  It’s SO important to wear something that you feel GREAT in to a shoot.  Your confidence will really shine through.

And this bouquet of blue thistle (is that what it is?) that Jen made for this part is to die for!  It’s simple, organic, and charming!

Doesn’t Jen look fabulous??  Flawless hair & makeup by Fiore Beauty.  Even if you’re going for a natural look, professional makeup will give you that perfect finish.  And one of my favorite parts of her look is that beautiful hair piece by Untamed Petals.  I love the oversized flower!  Amanda of Untamed Petals makes the most amazing hair pieces!

I’m so in love with Untamed Petal‘s hair pieces!!

And I adore Jason’s outfit!  Love the vest & hat.  Their outfits coordinate perfectly!  When planning your session, you don’t want to match like twins, but you do want to coordinate your outfits to that they complement each other.

It’s really cute watching them together.  Jason is so so sweet to her.

Jen couldn’t decide what color balloon to go with, so she brought both a pink & a green.  Good thing she had 2 because after we took those last two shots with the pink balloon in part 1, it hit a tree branch and popped.  It was loud!

Then Jason busted out his guitar.  I love it when a guy plays an instrument… and girls too!  I just love hearing live music.  Makes me wish I didn’t quit piano lessons back in high school.

I really enjoyed watching them interact together.  They really adore each other so much and share so many laughs together.

And another gorgeous bouquet Jen put together!  I love how organic they look.  And another gorgeous headpiece by Untamed Petals!

That’s right, love is all you need!

Greetings from Whistler!  Before I hit the slopes, I wanted to share with you an awesome session stylized by Jen of Green Wedding ShoesGreen Wedding Shoes is one of my all time favorite wedding blogs.  Jen has amazing taste and shares the most wonderful inspirations.  We got the ball rolling at the end of summer and shot this past fall, right at their one year anniversary!  What a great way to celebrate!  Jen is an amazing stylist!  We came up with a look and Jen stylized the entire thing.  I love the outfits and props she put together!  Many people don’t realize it, but a lot of thought and planning goes into a shoot!  If you haven’t, go to Green Wedding Shoes to read all about how she put this session together.   She is amazing!
