HOSPITALITY GROUP BUSINESS PARTNER TESTIMONIALS
"First Hospitality Group has worked with People Places & Things Photographics for just over one year now, [2010] and we couldn’t be happier with the partnership. Both Kevin and Pam Beswick make the photography shoot process easy on the hotels, and result in truly successful and compelling imagery.
Our very first shoot with PPT resulted in a grade “A” rating from Marriott corporate standards team, based on both the quality of work and ability to translate and capitalize on the brand standards provided. Shortly after the Marriott shoot, we held a full day shoot at one of our historic Hilton Garden Inn properties. Again here, the Hilton brand quickly decided to use our images to be shown as ‘best practices’ to the rest of their branded hotels. PPT makes all stages of the process a world-class experience, from preparing directly with the hotel team to shooting and overall communication. Their ability to adapt to unique working environments, and delivery on the promise they make to provide excellent photography make our partnership truly valuable." Best Regards,
Alec Schraegle, Marketing Manager, First Hospitality Group - Chicago, IL
presently eCommerce Manager at Hilton Worldwide
“Schahet Hotels and PP&T Photography started working together in the summer of 2012 on a round of photo shoots for six Indianapolis hotels. Experts in hotel photography, Kevin and his partner Pam are well informed and up-to-date on the online standards for multiple hotel brands. Towards the end of our first project together they took steps above and beyond our established contract terms to ensure that a video we uploaded to Hilton.com was compliant with new and complex ADA standard requirements. I would highly recommend Kevin as a seasoned, talented photographer whose artful eye beautifully captures the architectural and interior design within various settings throughout a hotel property.”

"I am writing this letter to express my sincere appreciation for People Places & Things Photographics. I have utilized Kevin and Pamela’s photographic services on four different hotel photo shoots with outstanding results. The pictures have been of excellent quality with a variety of options to choose from and excellent attention to detail in the photo shoot. Their professionalism and timeliness have been equally impressive and all of my General Managers have been extremely happy with the process. I highly recommend People Places & Things Photographics for any Hospitality application and they have been a pleasure to work with." |
“Kevin and Pamela Beswick did an amazing job at capturing the elegant details of one of our new casinos (Harrahs Horsehoe Casino Hammond). We have since used much of their work in marketing and sales materials. They were exrtemely professional and worked well with our internal operations teams. The photos were amazing, and they were very quick to turn around final prints. I would highly reccommend Kevin and Pamela Beswick.” |
“It gives me great pleasure to recommend Kevin & Pamela for all of your photography/e-commerce needs. They are extremely professional and have a clear understanding of what is important to me as a Director of Sales. Kevin and Pamela have utilized their expertise in photography at events for the Residence Inn by Marriott Grandville as well as website photography and eBrochures! I have referred them to several hoteliers, as well as my management company; and will continue to do so in the future. Kevin and Pamela have become more than photographers; I have welcomed them as a part of my family.” |
“The entire Perez team, including our design sub-consultants, are delighted with the beautiful photography produced by your team. The photography and videos really show the new Firekeepers Casino at its best. The lighting and angles of the various shots are truly descriptive of the casino experience, showing all the most exciting interior design, architectural, and lighting features to best effect. Also, your team was very professional, efficient, and speedy in completing the work, while staying out of everyone else's way. We appreciate everything you did to complete the photography before the Grand Opening which occurred 3 weeks early!!.” |
“Kevin and Pamela at People Places & Things Photographics did an excellent job on the renovation photos for my hotel. They went over and above what they were asked. The evening they arrived, we had a brief meeting and they began snapping photos to get an idea of what angles they would like to photograph the next day. The day of the photo shoot, they worked well with myself and my Marketing Manager, keeping us informed, asking for approval on each shot and taking suggestions and creative criticism. The photos we have now are the best the hotel has had in its eight year history. They were able to highlight the historic nature of our building through it's contemporary decor and maintain all true colors in each photo. Our staff was blown away by the detail and beauty of the photographs. Kevin and Pamela edited quickly and had our proofs to us within a week and the disc of all photos to us within another week or two. I HIGHLY recommend People Places and Things for your next project. In fact, our hotel's management company employed their services for multiple hotels in our portfolio.” |
“It is a pleasure to recommend Kevin & Pamela. The (Firekeepers Casino) project they did for us this last year was very successful; especially since they had so many "clients" to deal with. It is not easy to satisfy 90% of the consultants on any project when photographing an architectural project they have all worked on.” |
“Kevin and Pamela were hired to conduct a photo shoot of our ballrooms for new hotel collateral. I know them both from KCLA and other work within the market. They are punctual, knowledgeable and personable. One of the many traits I love about them is that at no time did they "rush" through taking the pictures. They saw we put effort into the room set-up and wanted to capture that. The final photos are amazing-more than I had expected. I would never use another photographer again!! We are planning to use them later in the year for additional pictures at the hotel and hope to have them photograph other properties our ownership has.” |
“We hired Kevin to take photos of a hotel resort that we had designed in Michigan. The photos he took showed great composition and a wide range of scales from architectural detailing to overall character. He showed the project in daylight and nighttime settings, all within a very reasonable price. PP&T is the best value photographer I have used in a very long while. We will now use PP&T for many of our projects, regardless of location.” |
“Kevin & Pamela were solicited for a project that involved collateral/advertisement for multiple hotels in the Grand Rapids area. This particular document was needed to present to a specific market segment in the travel industry. They were wonderful to work with, very creative and provided us with a beautiful piece of advertising that was within the parameters specified. We would definitely utilize this team again for any future graphic design and/or photographic advertising needs.” |
“Kevin was selected to photograph a major sculpture by internationally acclaimed artist Michele Oka Doner. The sculpture functions as the floor of the main level of Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. The photo shoot required the highest degree of technical expertise and creativity to interpret the artist's vision, shooting a series of overlapping images straight down from a low ceiling height, adjusting for overhead lighting, natural light falloff and high contrast between the dark terrazzo and reflective bronze figures embedded in the floor. Post production required stitching together up to 13 images into each panoramic view—several were produced for this project. The results were stunning, and Kevin's technical expertise and willingness to experiment with unproven methods convinced me he was the right person for this unique project. Although he has built a fine reputation as an architectural photographer, I expect he is likely to gain even more accolades as the "go-to guy" for covering grand scale art and sculpture.” |
“I am pleased to offer my endorsement of the professional photography firm, People Places and Things Photographics (PPT). In 1998, I was the Marketing Director for a large commercial construction company (Rockford Development) and hired PPT to provide professional photography of our completed projects. I used them exclusively for to shoot hundreds of projects—all managed with great attention to detail and the best customer service I have experienced. Working as an independent marketing consultant, I have hired PPT to provide professional photography services for several of my clients. All have been extremely pleased with the quality, service and competitive pricing structure offered by PPT. They do the extras that help make their photos great--like straightening furniture and organizing desktops. I have even witnessed them wash a marble floor when they thought the watermarks might detract from the photo! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend PPT Photographics for any and all professional photographic needs.” |
“Kevin and Pamela are an innovative team and always focus on the client's objectives. Their photography services are superior - ranging from scheduling and coordinating shoots to producing final vibrant, state of the art photography - they manage the entire process with a high level of professionalism. I recommend People Places and Things Photographics for beautiful photography as well as a wide variety of creative digital services." |
“Kevin and Pam are great to work with. They are organized, thorough, detail oriented and not to mention do beautiful work. I trust their expertise and highly recommend them to my partner hotels and venues.” |
