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.

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!

You have to stop by Green Wedding Shoes next (if you haven’t already) to read Jen’s perspective & her process of putting this all together!

So what do you think?  Love this stylized photo session?  Well, you could have your very own stylized shoot!  Jen & I will be giving away one stylized photo shoot!  Details will be announced tomorrow, so start dreaming about what you would want your shoot to look like!
