STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
Like when staying with a five-star hotel, regardless of which room category you select, comprehensive amenities and a complete hotel experience await you. Our service aims to delight and exceed expectations. Similar to The Ritz-Carlton’s incomparably consistent hotel experience, we present our services in three different categories: essential, artful, and complete coverage.
At John Cain Photography, regardless of the amount of coverage your event requires, you can be sure you will receive:
- Dependable service from our entire team before, during, and after your wedding day. Have a question? Give us a call! Our full time staff is available to you and you are not limited to any one person’s inbox, cell phone, or availability.
- Peace of mind resulting from a guided in-person or virtual meeting prior to the wedding to discuss and plan your shot list and timeline.
- A defined photo list and itinerary to guide your day, and share with everyone involved.
- An online gallery from your portraits and/or wedding that is shareable with friends and family.

- In-person or virtual assistance to help view and select your images after portraits and the wedding.

- Your entire gallery of wedding images delivered in 4 weeks, guaranteed.
ESSENTIAL SERVICES
You only get once chance to do this right. Our modus operandi is that we don’t cut corners, and we never aim for bare minimum. You never know when or how soon these images will all of a sudden be the most valuable recollection you have of a loved one. We take that very seriously. If you had to choose which of the images here you would remove from their gallery, which perspective you’d completely eliminate in these irreplaceable moments, we have a hunch you’d agree with us in the context of all that goes into a wedding, these are very important. That’s why we call each of these components ESSENTIAL.
Three Photographers
When it comes to your wedding not only do we not want to leave anything to chance, but we also want to capture otherwise impossible moments that three people are capable of, way beyond the industry standard of a photographer just having a “second shooter”. This is why our typical standard coverage is for three photographers for ten hours to capture a wedding that meets our expectations for our clients.
Beginning To End Coverage
Arriving with time to guide you every step of the way, and ending the day having captured every moment you experienced or will be excited to see that was happening simultaneously in another room is what we do. When it comes to creating a proposal for your wedding coverage, we start with the date, the number of locations, and the number of guests in order to inform how many photographers and how many hours would best capture your wedding with digital photography. From there, we want to know how what we do could make your dreams a reality.
Engagement Portraits
An engagement portrait session creates even more excitement for what’s to come, and most importantly connects you with your photographer to meaningfully set the stage for wedding day. Concerns about feeling natural in front of the camera are totally relieved by an hour or so together in a more comfortable environment, which inevitably also helps you look more natural in your photos too. The session itself creates a muscle-memory for posing that makes the photography on wedding day feel like a piece of cake!

Bridal Portraits
A bridal portrait session offers incomparable assurance through an opportunity to see the dress, hair style, bouquet, accessories, and make up choices come together – so that you can relax on the wedding day knowing that all of the selections have been perfected beautifully. The portraits for us are a secondary reward to the confidence that working with you in your gown prior to the wedding day brings for both you and your photographer.

PREMIUM SERVICES
As you decide what are your “nice to haves” in wedding planning, we want to offer our best capabilities to those who truly prioritize photography. Your photos will capture more than the whirlwind weekend of celebrating. They will reflect the intentional details that you will be spending so much time thoughtfully preparing. While not essential per se, if you love your incorporated details like your invitations, heirlooms, and fashion choices, wouldn’t you want them beautifully captured to add their beauty to your images? And if you choose a special location, wouldn’t a sweeping scene-setting view from above enhance your memory of how magical it really was?
Styled Details
Capturing all of your day-of details (invitations, rings, shoes, etc…) ahead of time gives us the dedicated time to have acute attention to each and every detail, and allows our total focus to be on you and the ones you love most on the wedding day. The unique focus on these artistic details separately without distraction results in masterfully composed images for you to include in your album, without missing a split second of the wedding day attempting to achieve a similar result.
Drone overage
Aerial perspectives can be incorporated to capture more scenic and otherwise impossible shots. Whether in a breathtaking setting, or a table that is set to immaculate perfection, the view from above can be jaw dropping. Often these images are the pièce de résistance of an album, creating an all encompassing image that magnifies how truly spectacular the whole thing was.
Film Photography
There is something truly remarkable about how uniquely film captures an unmatched glow, artful movement, color, and a more dynamic range of light than digital can. We create artistic opportunities in how we incorporate medium format and 35mm film. Our principal photographers all have years of experience to masterfully capture what’s before them. Once you see the film difference, the standalone effect on a single image can make it truly worth enlarging and framing as an art piece in your future home. Simply put, we find it enchanting.
Art Direction
For our most discerning clients, we lead the vision and meet with you to draw out creative ideas and source inspiration to be interwoven with an event designer, stationer, and wardrobe styling envisioning how each and every detail will visually align and intersect.
