About John Ruddock // High Orbit Media
Hello! My name is John and I do business as High Orbit Media. I grew up on the California coast and have been photographing full time since 2020. With a degree in film, I bring a very cinematic eye to my photography helping to capture the right moment from the best angle. My style of photography may be best described as 'enhanced realism'. Before messaging me here, do a quick Google for more detailed pricing and packages. Let's make you look good!
Reviews
So far the experience has been great. It is hard to coordinate something like this long distance. John was super helpful, easy to communicate with and responsive. Looking forward to the finished product!
We had so much fun with John at our wedding!
John was responsive and great price
I can’t say enough great things. The pictures are just what I envisioned and he worked with me to get so many more options than I had even hoped for! I will be a repeat customer!
John is great! He made my daughter feel at ease and comfortable during the shoot. Her photos are beautiful! We will definitely hire John again in the future.
I had such a great experience with John! He made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole experience. Very professional, great character and the pictures came out great! Would recommend 10/10🤩
John was great! He was able to capture the photos I needed perfectly. He is super reasonable on pricing and the results were high quality.
John recently photographed our vow renewal in Carmel. His work is amazing!!! He has a very creative eye, but will also listen to what you want. From the first contact, he was very professional and responsive. I needed to provide proof of insurance and he took care of everything right away. I also made last minute changes to the location a few days before our event, and he was very accommodating. His fees are extremely reasonable, but he doesn’t sacrifice any quality. I cannot say enough about how happy we are with John and our pictures. I will definitely be using him again in the future!
Our family traveled to Monterey for a surprise trip for our Mom’s 70th birthday. I found John on Thumbtack and sent him a message explaining that we had 10 total people and wanted some fun family beach photos. John was responsive every time I reached out, had great ideas and was extremely professional. He was on time and super friendly when we met up at the chosen location. We absolutely loved all of our photos. I could not have asked for a better experience!! I would highly recommend John from High Orbit!!
John was very responsive, punctual and willing to work with our requirements!
High Orbit Media was incredible to work with. John Ruddock is creative and has an exceptional ability to capture a moment. We hardly knew he was there during our photo shoot (which is a compliment) and the work product was outstanding! We felt comfortable being ourselves around him and had a blast during the whole session. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone.
John was punctual and professional. In the short amount of time I had with him for a head shot photo, he was able to pick a spot and a pose that made for a great photo for my company website. Already received many compliments. I would hire John again.
John was very professional and did a great job on my surprise engagement photos . John was very very nice and punctual and always responded to my questions and took the time to explain how he works and how we can pull off this very special surprise on Carmel beach. Johns work and quality is very good and his prices are excellent. I highly recommend John for any event and will use him again in the future ..Pick John …you won’t be disappointed
Beginning at finding a photographer, HOM responded immediately to my inquiries, met my pricing goals, had a simple contract, arrived at the agreed upon time, friendly firm but not overbearing navigation of wedding party to get the shots needed, and lastly good results.
John was AWESOME! His response time was quick, his professionalism was unparalleled and my favorite part was the quality of the picture he provided after the event! Thank you John for the best memories! Highly recommended!
