Introduction
Hello! My name is John Ruddock and I do business as High Orbit Media. Before messaging me here, do a quick Google and have a look at my website. I pride myself on my ability to capture the best moments from the right angle. 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'. The prices you see are my base packages and I do offer different options. Let's make you look good!

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!

John was such a pleasure to work with for our engagement photos. He was very personable and professional. We ran into issues that were out of our control and John was able to quickly remedy them. We weren't able to do the photoshoot at the planned location and John suggested a new spot which turned out to be perfect. It was great to have John instructing us on how to pose for the photos since it can feel awkward to have a camera pointing at you and not knowing what to do. He also gave us the freedom to do any poses that wanted too. It felt very comfortable and natural having him photograph us. The photos turned out well beyond our expectations. We're so happy that John was the one to capture such a special moment for us. Don't hesitate to book him for any of your future special moments!

We had a great experience working with John for our engagement photoshoot. We contacted him pretty last minute but he got us scheduled and set up with a contract very quickly - throughout the process he was prompt, thorough, and professional with his communication. We are in love with our final photos! John was flexible on location and made sure we got the shots we wanted and also coached us through several poses that we ended up loving. He also got many gorgeous candids and his final edits made the light and environment look magical! Would highly recommend!!!

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
