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.)

la arboretum wedding photos | grace + richard encore

During my own wedding planning, I shopped high and low for my wedding dress.  I didn’t think it would be as difficult as it was!  I went over budget a bit for it, but after the long search, it didn’t matter (that much).  Nearly 5 years later, I can say for sure that the budget is insignificant and irrelevant to the memories.  In my culture, it’s customary to change into several gowns during your wedding. When I mentioned to Jonathan how much my dress was, he broke it down to the cost/hr.  After that, I wanted to wear it as long as I could, and for as many days as I could!  I talked about wedding gown tea parties with my girlfriends, shortening it into a tea length dress, but in the end, what made most sense to me was to have an encore!  Get dressed up again and celebrate that dress!

Grace and Richard picked the perfect setting for their Encore session.  The LA Arboretum had the most beautiful colors and light!

There was so many beautiful spots to choose from that I ended up shooting twice the number of rolls of film than I usually do.  Just look at the light at the orange groves!

I adore Grace’s hair & makeup… by none other than Theresa.

peacock!

and getting flare in film is always exciting:

Wishing you both much continued happiness!

Last year, I shot the new line of Marichi Mani’s shoes.  You can find the photo above in a full page ad in both Teen Prom & Seventeen Prom.  Hair & Makeup by the talented Theresa Huang.  It was my first commercial shoot and first shoot for a line of shoes.  I love shoes and shoot shoes all the time at weddings, but shooting specifically for a shoe ad took much more thoughtful posing.  We shot over 20 pairs of shoes that day!  Did I mention I was 8 months pregnant at the time?

Our model, Ashley, was so wonderful to work with.  Look at the 3 very different looks she gave us!

I learned so much from this shoot and had so much fun.  I love new experiences!
