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.)

One of the beautiful people I got to meet at A Lovely Workshop in France is Gina. She’s not only beautiful, but super smart too. She’s an engineer and a model. Her fiance is one lucky guy! For those who care about the technical details, the above image was shot with my Contax 645.

Her gorgeous hair piece was created by the talented Myra Callan of Twigs and Honey. Makeup by the very awesome Lauren Napier and hair by the amazing Erin Skipley. Styling by the fab Eden of End Design. These few were shot with my Canon eos3.

Gina was so much fun to shoot. The few minutes I had with her each day was always full of laughter. I love these next few! All shot on my Contax 645.

I love flare when I shoot digital. Since this was an entirely fun shoot, I tried it on film… and I love it!

I’ve been having dreams of France & being back at the Chateau. I miss the light, the people… and just being on vacation.

cafe pinot wedding photography | sarah + raymond

I’m really excited to share with you this LA chic wedding. This wedding can also be seen as a real wedding on Junebug weddings and featured on What Junebug Loves! That opening image really says a lot about Sarah & Raymond’s wedding – glam, elegant, and with a pop of rock n roll.

Their wedding took place in the middle of downtown LA. Sarah had the perfect Monique Lhuillier dress.

The amazing flowers were created by the very talented Euri & Kendra of Fleuretica. I LOVE the deep red peonies and garden roses!

I also love this photo Jonathan got of the guys getting ready:

Can you feel the anticipation of Sarah waiting for her day to start:

Again, that gorgeous bouquet of red peonies! And their invites, which was designed by Sarah’s cousin (who’s still in high school!) and printed in Indonesia, where Sarah’s entire family resides:

The black and white, with pops of red is just so classic and elegant. And I couldn’t get over how glamorous Sarah looked. She was stunning!

This was an especially emotional day for Sarah’s family because they live across the world in Indonesia. I can only imagine the joy her parents must have felt.

Love this moment:

Sarah’s little nephew cracks me up in this first kiss photo:

Cocktail hour and reception took place under the stars, right in the middle of downtown LA. It was gorgeous to see all the tall buildings around us.

Favors were JJ Royal Indonesian Civet Coffee… yes, brought all the way from Indonesia, and yes, Civet Coffee! I’ve been wanting to try Civet Coffee… supposed to be the best & the most expensive coffee!

And I’ve always loved these fingerprint trees as guest sign-in:

Sarah & Raymond totally rocked their first dance. Raymond is an amazing dancer! And so is his dad!

Food was delicious. Decor was gorgeous. And there was a photobooth by Photobox LA all night.

This is the highlight of my night… later in the night, Sarah changed into her grandmother’s dress. This was the same dress her grandmother wore to Sarah’s parent’s wedding, and the same dress her sister wore at her own wedding. Sarah had the whole crowd crying when she talked about her grandmother in her thank you speech.
