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.)

I was fortunate enough to shoot a wedding in Thailand last month, and even more fortunate to have been able to share this amazing trip with my family. I brought my mom and dad too. It was all our first times in Thailand and we had such an amazing time. The memories there are truly priceless.

We went to Krabi before heading up to the wedding in Chiang Mai. Krabi was the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. Our resort had a private beach that was so quiet, clean, and had just miles of powdery sand. And near sunset, the tides were extremely low – so low that we could let Cameron crawl for probably 100 yards out. The sand was fluffy and soft. Cameron enjoyed digging in it and looking for seashells, coral, and crabs.

Cameron found more coral, and Jonathan found this cute crab:

Cameron took a face plant in the sand here, just like in Hawaii. oops. Both times, my hands were tied protecting my camera. Sorry, baby, you like the sand though!

On our way to Krabi, I said to Jonathan, “I’m afraid I’ll be bored at Krabi… 5 days with nothing but beach? What are we supposed to do?” I was serious too. I’m such a busy body that I was nervous about having nothing to do. Needless to say, I loved it. We got to enjoy sunset everyday like this:

One of my favorite photos of Cameron and me.

I never got to travel growing up, so I’m grateful to be able to do it these past few years. I’m even more grateful that I get to take Cameron and Jonathan along. We have a few more destinations planned this upcoming year, so if anyone is interested in scheduling a portrait session while I’m in town, email me. Here’s what’s planned so far:

Feb – Las Vegas

March – San Francisco/San Jose

April – Washington DC

May – Chicago

June – San Francisco/San Jose

July – San Francisco

August – Napa Valley

October – New Mexico

A few more destinations that are being considered include Hawaii, Singapore, New York, Costa Rica, and New Orleans. I’m still deciding, so let me know if you want me to take your schedule into account.

February 16, 2012 - 9:29 pm Jade Sheldon - Sounds like a truly special trip. I didn't travel much growing up either. In fact, the only trip we took out of state as a family was to Florida when I was 10. I hope that I am fortunate enough someday to be able to travel with my fiance and our future family. Beauty pictures of your sweet babe!

February 16, 2012 - 9:35 pm caroline - jade, congrats on your engagement! i wish you & your fiance a great journey to the alter, and an even more exciting journey to starting a family!

February 21, 2012 - 6:17 pm Kimberly - How funny, I said the same thing about going to Krabi when I went to Thailand this past year.

February 23, 2012 - 7:40 am ilynn - Hi Caroline... I love the way you capture your photos. If you don't mind in sharing your knowledge, what type of lense do you use for these photos & how do you shoot into the sun and get clear picture of your baby? Do you use flash? I am learning and I think you are one of the best =)

February 23, 2012 - 9:15 am Caroline - Thanks, ilynn! I never use flash when i'm outdoors during the day. I am able to shoot into the sun because I meter for the shadows. Hope this helps!

February 24, 2012 - 9:45 am ilynn - Thank you for your share Caroline. Hope to learn more from you..your photography style is definitely an inspiration. =)

February 26, 2012 - 8:38 pm adamseguin123@gmail.com - Wonderful work as usual. Every post pulls me in.
