Reviews for Caroline Tran
Caroline Tran is an amazing photographer! I booked her for my boudoir session two weeks before my wedding day. She mailed my photo book right before my wedding so I can give my husband-to-be a little gift.
She's not just a great photographer! She gives amazing direction and her artistic vision will create beautiful portraits. She made me feel comfortable the whole time since this was the first time I have ever been photographed in this way. I highly recommend her for any of your photography needs. Just look at her portfolio and the results speak for themselves.
In all honesty, I don't think there's a field more fit for Caroline than photography. She has the uncanny ability to capture life's moments through photography that can't be expressed through simple words. Due to her versatility I used Caroline for my wedding, pregnancy, and 1 year documentation of my baby and can't be more happy with each session. I am probably the most difficult and camera-shy person you could possibly work with and yet Caroline brought magic, emotion, and life to each shot. She is absolutely amazing to work with in every respect. My family will definitely use Caroline to record the many more milestones in our lives.

I used Caroline Tran for my Boudoir photography, and she was amazing. I was told ahead of time by other brides to only expect 5 - 10 really great shots and that the rest would just be "okay". That was not my experience -- Caroline took such amazing pictures that it was difficult for me to narrow it down to less than 50! She has a way of making you feel comfortable with your body, so that you actually enjoy your photo session. I wish I had discovered her before (I'd already hired a wedding photographer). I will be using her *hopfully* in just over a year to document my pregnancy and birth. She is also very affordable and willing to work with your budget.
We have a testimonial somewhere around here. But this is our formal review:
Caroline is a photojournalist, an artist, and she's very good at what she does. Photographers are hard to find particularly because you choose them based on whether their style matches with your outlook, your perspective and style. After all, your wedding photos are what you keep for the rest of your life, so the stakes are high. The least we can say is that we got very lucky.
Photography is Caroline's passion (which she chose over many other things she could have done), and it shows in her product. Her photos are filled with interesting and playful angles, multiple complex layers and she finds great colors. Matched with the moments that she catches, you get pure eye candy. Just take a look at her website and her roaring popularity.
Working with her is a joy. She's bubbly and down to earth--which are very important when it comes to the wedding day. During our wedding day shoot, you could just see how much she enjoys her work. Her brain was working overtime just savoring and capturing every moment she saw. Thinking back, it's amazing seeing her do her thing. She works with purpose, and then she stands back and observes. She works with her husband Jonathan and they're just a couple made for each other--such a great team.
Our engagement photo session was awesome too--the photos are just iconic. We just love her style. She worked with us on a photo album...very beautiful. She's also very prompt.
Her location listing is misleading. Our wedding was in the Bay Area and her price was very reasonable considering she had to travel for the shoot.
Caroline is simply top notch. Her popularity is surging...you've got to catch her as soon as possible. Thanks again Caroline!
I have worked along side of Caroline Tran a number of times. Being in the industry myself, there are a number of things i look for in a vendor... Punctuality, appearance the night of the event (Attire), how easy they are to work with, and personality are the most important to me. Caroline exceeds in all of them. She makes my job, as a DJ, the night of the event extremely easy, and she is always in the right place at the right time. I DEFINITELY recommend using her as photographer for any wedding.

I just had my wedding last week and out of all of my vendors I have to say Caroline Tran was definitely my favorite. I think choosing a talented and personable photographer is one of the most important decisions you will have to make when planning your wedding. I cannot say enough good things about Caroline Tran!!!
Things I loved about Caroline:
- She honestly feels like she cares about you and your wedding. If I had a question or concern she immediately addressed them and tried to work things out with me. She makes sure that you are happy!
- She has amazing talent. Just go stalk her blog. I am amazed every time she has a new post up. And when I received my engagement pictures I was OOhing and AAHing the whole time. Everyone I showed them to were raving as well! Her photos are so unique and beautiful. She has a great eye!
- She has a great personality. She was friendly and polite. My husband and I felt very comfortable with her during our engagement session. And throughout my planning process she honestly felt more like a friend!
- She's flexible and hardworking. We had a lot of roadblocks during our wedding planning....too many to name but each time Caroline worked with us to help resolve them. One of them caused us to do our engagement session only a few weeks before our wedding and Caroline was able to edit and return our photos in a matter of days. It was amazing!!!! I have heard horror stories of photographers taking months to return photos...no problems like that with Caroline!
Anyways, a good photographer is so important to capture the most important memories of your day. And you want those memories to look good too! You'll want the best....and you cannot go wrong with CT. I highly recommend her. :)

Caroline and Jonathan are wonderful to work with, and a cute couple themselves. We hit it off right from the start. We loved their photography, and we love all our pictures, engagement and wedding. We have been recommending them to everyone we know. They went above and beyond the call of duty. They are professional and the turn around time is awesome; engagements pics within a week or two, and wedding pics in less than a month! We have gotten so many compliments on our pics. We love their work so much we can't wait for the next occasion to hire them again, and we're constantly looking at her portfolio! They do a fabulous job with every occasion. What more can we say, Caroline and Jonathan rock all the way!
I contacted Caroline Tran about a year ago to do product photography for my wedding invitation business. After working with her, I can say that she is an amazing photographer who is truly gifted! Caroline has an innate ability to capture the essence of her subjects and turn them into stunning photographs. Throughout the entire process, Caroline remained highly responsive and extremely easy to work. I highly recommend Caroline for anyone who is looking for a warm and friendly photographer who will produce gorgeous photos!
Caroline has an excellent eye for photography. I love her artistic and candid work she put in her photography. I have never seen anyone with such great details to photography as she does. She is very easy to work with and will take any input you have. She had offer to re-do two albums for me because I didn't like the way it turned out. Caroline is very responsive and understand what each client want in their photograph. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants great pictures then your normal pose and shoot photograph. She adds character to each of her pictures with outstanding focus and color. The reason I chosed Caroline is because of her artistic eye for photography and the very reasonable price she offered her clients.

Looking at the pictures always brings back the emotions of seeing my beautiful bride that day! Thank you for capturing those moments for us.
Caroline Tran and her husband Jonathan were the perfect photographers for our wedding. Their photographs are elegant and creative. It was important to us that our photographs felt natural and unstaged. They were exactly that. Our guests loved them, we loved them. They did their work emanating optimism and passion for their craft. They have a very tight schedule, so booking them can be hard, but you should see their work: http://www.carolinetran.net We felt so lucky to have them do our wedding.
A Great photographer in every way. Personable and very Professional.
Caroline Tran is one of the BEST photographers you are going to find here in Southern California! I highly recommend her service!! I've seen and been a part of many photo shoots (for boudoir, engagements, and weddings). Caroline not only takes photographs well, but she directs your most important photo shoot. I don't think many brides realize the importance of photographers being able to give good directions. Most people are not models, which means it's up to the photographer to assist you in looking your best. If you see her work, you will notice that the shots of the brides and groom always look effortless, and that is not done by chance. She directs and takes the shot at the right moment.
Amazing wedding photography!
What beautiful work! We love her natural, fun, candid photos! She's done a wonderful job of capturing Santa Monica and weddings in our ballroom.
