About

On WeddingWire since 2018

Based in Ocean, 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

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!

Best decision we made for our wedding!

If I could give 10 stars, I would! John and Lauren were amazing to work with since our engagement shoot. My father was a wedding photographer at one point, and my standards were incredibly high for what I wanted. We were not disappointed. I didn’t realize that John would literally have to help hold my dress or hold my arm to help me in heels over the cobblestone at our venue. He was right next to me during the most intimate moments of my wedding day and was such a calming presence. He and Lauren also found such unique and creative shots on the day of to capture the uniqueness of our venue (The Art Factory – Paterson). They listened to everything we had suggested and made really thoughtful suggestions of their own. We wanted a mix of traditional and very non-traditional wedding photos, and we were so pleased with some of the shots. They were flexible with our large families and large bridal parties, and I could go on for another four paragraphs about how wonderful they were to work with from start to finish. Check out their work, and you won’t be disappointed!

An Amazing Experience!

Lauren was absolutely wonderful to work with from the first time we connected. She truly made this process so easy and simple for my fiancé and I. Lauren captured all of our special moments on our special day and we are so glad we got to work with her. She bent over backwards before and during the wedding to find scenic spots surrounding our venue and got some really great shots of us! We will definitely be reaching out to Lauren for our upcoming occasions. Thank you!
