We have been pleased with every part of our journey with John Cain’s studio, from engagement photos, bridal portraits and then wedding day photos., They do an amazing job of communicating appointments, reminders of what’s next in the process, and photo guidelines. I love that they are so organized.

Where do I begin? Matt was extraordinary. From the moment he showed up at our door he exuded class and professionalism. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, commented on how fabulous the photographer(s) were (Kai was amazing as well). He was on the boat, on the pier, on the dance floor, Matt and Kai were everywhere….yet invisible. The love was being outpoured at our wedding and the photos caught ALL of these priceless moments. We will have them forever. Thank YOU from the bottom of our hearts. We can’t wait for NYE in 3 months…when John Cain photography will be back with the Hummels for our daughter Alexandra’s wedding!!!

Matt was my lead photographer, and I would tell anyone asking about John Cain Photography that you all were wonderful and everyone genuinely seemed to care about every aspect of the wedding photography process!

PHENOMENAL, seamless experience. My husband is not a fan of the camera but immediately felt comfortable with Matt. We cannot thank him enough for being such an important part of our day and we are so in awe of the moments he captured. He did not miss a single moment or detail and was able to capture beautiful classic images even when the weather was not cooperating.

Matt was amazing! He was efficient, kind and very patient! The John Cain Team is the best! They are so easy to work with and provide stunning photos! We couldn’t imagine using anyone else for our big day!

The team from John Cain were such a pleasure to work with from day one. Matt was a perfectionist with every shot and it shows in my preview photos (which I received less than 2 days after the reception). I had the unique experience of having worked with a different photographer on my actual wedding day in 2021 (#COVIDWedding) and the difference in the treatment and experience was night and day. We could not be happier. All night long whenever anyone posed for an iPhone photo, someone from Matt’s team was right there to capture it.

Your people and the photos were all amazing. We are very pleased!

Having a photographer is a beautiful way to remember the big and small things on your wedding day. Matt was genuine and easy to work with. He made sure to not miss a smile, kiss, or cheers!

The entire experience, from the first booking to the bridal preview was unparalleled. Communication, artistry, professionalism, timeliness and eloquence are at an all time high with the JCP team. I could not have asked for a better experience!

Pricey -but- worth it if you can afford it!

John Cain Photography is the BEST in Dallas! They made the whole planning process easy and stress free- I didn’t know much about wedding photos and they made it super easy to create a timeline of pictures with family and friends for the wedding day. On our big day, I could easily tell how experienced Matt was and how seamless it all went- he got the most amazing photos throughout the day while keeping us on schedule the entire time. It also didn’t feel like an annoyance of constantly having a camera in your face. Instead, they were there to quietly capture those perfect candid & special moments without being distracting.

Very professional and calm and attentive to our needs. Even during tough sessions including 30 mph winds and cold temps, Matt just kept us going without complaint.

The team at John Cain is incredible and made us feel special, celebrated and loved from day one.

The whole team goes above and beyond every step of the way! Each person we worked with made the process a special experience and the pictures are fantastic! Matt is a joy to work with! I already have referred him to others!

We had the best experience with Matt and all other team members. They took our photography journey to another level and we are so thankful!

John Cain Photography is professional, kind, thoughtful, and overall just a JOY. We can’t imagine anyone else photographing our wedding and cannot speak highly enough of Matt, and the entire team!

It was wonderful working with Matt and pictures were fantastic.

Matt did such an incredible job with us & our families throughout the entire planning & event process. He was incredibly supportive, and made us truly feel like the stars of the big show. Yes, the quality of photos is second to none, but what truly sets you all apart is the dedication to your clients. John Cain & team provide an incredible experience from start to finish.

Definitely use John Cain Photography! I said if I am going to invest additional money on one service for a wedding…it is who we used for our photography. They are the best.

John Cain Photography is the absolute best. We had Matt Shelley and his team. My family and I were so impressed by his eye for amazing poses, attention to detail, and everlasting patience with all the wannabe smartphone photographers in the crowd.

Service and product were top notch. We were very impressed with our sneak peek photos just 3 days after the wedding.

Matt provided impeccable service, especially the day-of. He was very easy to work with: listened to our wishes and kept flexibility when we were pushed in different directions during the day.

The John Cain Photography team was our favorite vendor! They are incredibly talented and passionate people who know weddings and it shows. It was so fun to work with them throughout our wedding planning process. They incorporated special and thoughtful details throughout and made us feel truly valued. I could not recommend more highly!!

Before the wedding day there was excellent communication with John Cain staff, and I felt they had a thorough understanding of the photos we wanted. On the day of the wedding, photos were well-timed and Matt was very efficient in staging the photos. Photos of the reception venue and guests pre-reception are great and include various views for a full effect. The photographers were available during the reception for requested group photos and adhoc shots. Great job!

Excellent photographers all the way from beginning to the end. We continued to be amazed at the attention to detail. They thought of every possible way to serve their customers and met every aspect beyond our expectations.

You’re the best! Everything was perfect, my daughter felt your team provided the best experience.

I know someone who booked John Cain Photography before the groom proposed, I see why! Matt and his team did an amazing job of capturing our finest memories in a beautiful way!

Matt was relaxed and efficient! I felt like they were everywhere and did a good job at capturing the moments to remember! I loved the way the John Cain staff kept you organized and made you feel at ease about the whole bridal process. Just book them! They will take care of the rest! I am still amazed at the quick turnaround time for such quality photographs.

The wedding photos are classic!

They are amazing! Fun and pleasant to work with. They’re personable – sending little gifts, notes, etc. They’re very good at what they do. They’re efficient and thorough when it comes to taking the photos you want and getting them back to you. All in all, they make it a fun and enjoyable experience.

I wouldn’t change a thing! Matt was fabulous!! I would recommend him to all my friends!

John Cain Photography provides the BEST service and makes its brides (and grooms and families, etc.) feel so special! All the little details – from the gifts, to the handwritten notes, to the design of the studio – were extremely tasteful and thoughtful. Moreover, every member of the John Cain team was consistently friendly and charming.

John Cain photography does an excellent job from start to finish. They guided us along the way and made us very comfortable.

Matt and John were absolutely outstanding. Jayme and I can’t stop talking about how obsessed we are with not only the photos but with how accommodating, professional and just awesome Matt and John were. From the little things that we weren’t even thinking about to every big thing all weekend, they were so helpful and kind and thoughtful. We mean it when we say we could not be any happier or recommend them highly enough.

Everyone was completely accommodating, professional, and responsive throughout the entire process. We also loved how beautiful the previews were.

The John Cain Photography team is the full package from start to finish. The attention to detail to capture all the joys of the engagement, the bridals, the ceremony and the reception is incredible! The photographers are top notch and their kindness and care for the bride and groom and their families and friends is captured on film for a lifetime. After three weddings with John Cain Photography- I’m sad for our time to be over!!

Hiring the John Cain team will be, without a doubt, the best thing you do throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the communication as a perspective client, all the way to post event service and everything in between, the John Cain team has truly gone above and beyond in every single way. Every time we turned around, the service and experience was being elevated and it made for the whole wedding planning process to be so enjoyable and fun!

Working with y’all was such an amazing, smooth, and fun time. You all were also so helpful with referring vendors/planners to us.
