About

On WeddingWire since 2018

Based in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Inspire Me Imagery provides couples with a unique, organic, and artistic alternative to traditional wedding photography. Owner John Kotlowski founded the company to provide couples with photographers he would trust at his own wedding. The entire business is modeled around giving couples the same service, planning, and creativity that is invaluable to the owner. The artists involved with Inspire Me Imagery aspire to impress not only couples with their work but also themselves. Their passion for the craft leads to moments captured with contemporary photojournalism techniques, and portraits with a vintage look reminiscent of the film era.

Services Offered

With this dedication to customer satisfaction, the photographers book one event per day so they can focus on their couple. Inspire Me Imagery can provide a second photographer, travel for destination weddings, shoot at multiple locations on the wedding day, and continue shooting for additional hours, if necessary. The photographers at Inspire Me Imagery are available for wedding day event coverage, bridal sessions, wedding portraits, boudoir shoots, engagement shoots, and trash-the-dress sessions. Final forms of the images can be viewed as:

  • Prints
  • Digital files
  • Flush mount albums

Excellent Experience!

Working with John and LB was 10/10. His work, attached to this review, speaks for itself! He helped with my timeline in planning, got all of the shots I asked for, and was incredibly professional and fun to work with. I cannot recommend this vendor enough!

Inspire Me Imagery was a dream to work with!

Working with Inspire Me Imagery for our wedding was as wonderful as I could have hoped. LB was incredible in all of the prep conversations. By the time the wedding week happened, we were already super relaxed and knew we were in good hands.

My husband and I eloped a few days before our official wedding day, and LB was our witness at City Hall. (Our wedding package included an engagement shoot, so we used that slot for this elopement.) It will be so special to us that LB will forever be listed as the witness for our City Hall wedding. Then the three of us had so much fun wandering around downtown Manhattan taking photos!

For our big wedding with family and friends, it was incredible to have this team from Inspire Me, who really held our hands through the whole process. LB and her second photographer Justin were both fabulous. They captured the perfect balance between the straightforward portraits we needed, with the silly happy candids we wanted! From the portraits, to the photo booth, to the reception candids, the team felt like such an integral part of the whole experience.

During the post-wedding editing, LB was incredibly gracious and patient with the our requests regarding certain photos! We appreciate everything she did for us, and feel super confident recommending them.

The team you want on your big day 💘


My sister got married about a year ago and used Inspire me imagery, we had such a great experience it was a no brainer when I was planning my wedding!

Lauren and her crew could not have been anymore amazing! I felt completely comfortable with her and took her lead on everything, the result were some pretty amazing photos we’ll be able to cherish forever! Shout out to Mediha and Jyoti for being a great addition to team! All smiles and there to lend a helping hand wherever needed 🫶The day started out a little shaky as most wedding days do(our wedding party was late to the venue) but once we got going we had the best time! Everyone was relaxed and having a great time, this crew captured some truly amazing and memorable moments! We’re struggling on which photos to hang up there’s so many good ones! Thank you Lauren for making our day even more special and for capturing some great moments for us to cherish! Hire these guys you will not regret it!
