Exceeded expectations!

I can’t recommend Inspire Me Imagery enough. John photographed both our wedding day and the celebration we had two days later, and he completely exceeded my expectations.

What really stood out about John compared to other photographers I searched through is his authentic style. So many photographers focus on creating perfect Instagram shots, but John captures something much deeper - the genuine emotion, and the true joy of the day. Looking through our photos, I can actually feel those moments again.

Looking forward to using him again for future events!

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!

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!

The best!

We can’t recommend John and Inspire Me Imagery enough. John took the time to set up calls prior to our booking to make sure we were a good fit, understand who we are as people, as well as a couple (interests, hobbies etc.) and learn what our expectations were for the day. On the day of our wedding John was both an amazing and creative photographer, and a friend. John’s calm demeanor and 'go with the flow' attitude provided a source of comfort and support within a crazy (sometimes stressful) day. The photos are stunning and captured not only the entire event (things we didn’t even remember happening), but also who we are as individuals and a couple. We HIGHLY recommend Inspire Me Imagery and can't thank John enough!!!

1000/10. John shot our engagement pictures and wedding and we couldn't be happier. Not to mention they were saints when we had to reschedule from 2020 --> 2021 due to covid-19. Lauren was our 2nd shooter and was also wonderful to work with! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. John stayed way later than he needed to the night of our wedding and captured the most amazing last minute shots. He was kind, thoughtful with his shots, and made us feel so comfortable. Bonus: great with grumpy little dogs :)

Wonderful photographers

Our family friends recommended John and Inspire Me Imagery for our wedding photographers and we were so happy they did! John was very responsive and helpful in planning out our day. We were lucky to work with John twice- once at our small wedding in 2020, and again at our reception in July 2021. My husband and I are very awkward and John made the whole process easy and comfortable. We loved working with him and Justin at our larger wedding. They set up a time line for our day before the wedding so our bridal party and family knew when to be ready for formal pictures. They were not intrusive when taking pictures at the ceremony and the reception, but they captured all the most special moments for us of the day! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a company and photographers that take beautiful posed and candid pictures as well as having an easy-going, comfortable nature to make the whole picture taking process be stressful and easy on the day of your wedding!

Absolutely the best!

I cannot recommend John and IMI more highly!! Our plans were totally up in the air due to COVID and he was nothing but kind, patient, understanding and flexible. Truly one of the nicest people you’ll ever work with- John went out of his way to make the process as least stressful as possible. We ended up postponing our reception to 2022, and just had a small ceremony at a different location with immediate family. The photos from our ceremony are GORGEOUS! We’re pretty awkward when it comes to taking photos, but John made us so comfortable and we had such a fun day. We cannot wait to work with him again and have more beautiful photos from our reception!

Nothing short of incredible

Me, my husband, our friends, our family—we were all BLOWN AWAY by how amazing our photos came out. Grace was our primary shooter and Lauren our second, and they both did such an incredible job making us feel comfortable and ensuring the entire day ran smoothly. Our photos seriously look like they’re part of an editorial photo spread—they’re worth every penny, and I’m excited to look back at these for years to come. Thank you, ladies, for making our special day one that we’ll never forget.

Amazing Experience!

I am so thrilled to have had John and his team as our wedding photographers! John made us feel comfortable from the very start. I didn’t have to fill out any complicated surveys or questionnaires about every tiny wedding detail, only to learn that my date was already booked or to be quoted an outrageous price. John insisted on meeting us in person and we immediately connected with his down-to-earth personality. Everyone in our wedding party had a great time with John and Lauren. They were very inconspicuous, yet managed to capture so many perfect, candid moments in their beautifully artistic style. We also LOVED the Polaroid pinup option! Way more fun and unique than the typical photo booth. You won’t be disappointed with Inspire Me Imagery!

I can't say enough good things about Inspire Me Imagery. They are lovely to work with, incredibly talented and made our wedding day so special. Maria and Lauren were our day of photographers they truly went above and beyond. They gave us such beautiful memories of our big day and I am forever grateful. We have such amazing photos from our wedding- better than I could have ever hoped for!!!

I n c r e d i b l e

If I could give Maria and the team 100 stars I would. She is worth every penny. I REALLY cared about photography and did a lot of research, and I am SO glad that it paid off. The photos (the ones I've gotten so far at least!) are absolute works of art, and Maria and her team were so so kind and incredible to work with. Our family and friends were coming up to us all night commenting on how energetic our photographers were! I could not recommend them enough. We spent a little extra on a Polaroid station and the photos are so fun. We could not be happier with our decision to work with Maria and the Inspire Me Imagery team!!!!!

Lauren was so wonderful to work with. She arrived early, made sure to capture all of the shots we wanted, and managed to catch some really beautiful candid moments too. This was our engagement photo shoot and we couldn’t be happier that we chose inspire imagery and had Lauren as our photographer. She’s incredibly talented and she has a very artistic eye. Lauren got our pictures back to us very quickly and she happily helped with special edits that we wanted. I would highly recommend her.

John, Lauren and Sal made my wife and I feel like part of their family. They are professional, kind, precise and overall amazing. They were on time and ready to go. All day long they made us feel comfortable and didn't make taking photos awkward. We couldn't have asked for a better group of photographers to shoot our wedding. From the first call to our special day to getting our images, Inspire Me Imagery were AWESOME! I will be using them for all of my special events. Thank you IMI for being just all around amazing people.

We were absolutely in love with our photographers! There were three of them and I never felt like they were crowding us! They were capturing very special moments without being overbearing AND they were all so fun and sweet! We got unique shots and Maria already sent me some preview shots that I am obsessed with! They were very easy to communicate with as well. I would recommend them to any couple... actually I already have haha! Worth every penny!

THANK YOU. You listened to my wants and delivered. I said I did not want to do a first look, but still wanted to make it to cocktail hour. You made it happen. I said I wanted out of my dress and into my pajamas. You made it happen. seriously though, you guys were amazing and worked so hard to help coordinate and keep everything on schedule so that we spent the least amount of time on pictures, while still getting them done. Thank you a million times over.

I have been to and in numerous weddings, and Inspire Me Imagery has by far the best and most creative photographers I have come across! Their combination of professionalism and sense of humor make for a great and super comfortable experience! As a couple that is not comfortable in front of the camera, our team made us feel at ease and natural being photographed.

John, our head photographer, really went above and beyond helping me (the bride) and at times, taking on the roles of wedding planner, maid of honor (when mine were occupied), and child entertainer for the FIVE cranky toddlers in my wedding — even helping to capture the occasional smile on camera!

And most importantly, out pictures came out amazing! They really captured the feel that we were going for with our wedding and were able to scout out the important people and the great shots!

I can’t not recommend these photographers enough. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.

I can not say enough amazing things about John and Lauren. My best friend had booked John for her July wedding back in 2016 and four of our friends followed suit. He makes you so comfortable in front of a camera, which I am usually not. Not only that but being so easy going, he is able to make you relax on a day that can be so stressful. And if his personality wasn't good enough, his photos are gorgeous! You will not be disappointed with Inspire me Imagery =)!

John and his team were amazing! Throughout the entire process from our engagement session to our wedding day, he was extremely attentive to what we wanted, offered advice, and made us feel so comfortable. When it came to the wedding party photos, we didn’t feel as if we were taking wedding photos, rather just relaxing and enjoying our day, with John there capturing all of the moments! I absolutely love their style of photography as it is unique from others. Their commitment to capturing moments full of emotions (especially the small quiet moments) really shines through their photos and their work. They were professional, kind, down to earth and made the flow of our day go off without any issues. I absolutely love my photos! Thank you!

There are not enough good things to say about Inspire Me Imagery! They are amazing to work with and take the most beautiful pictures! With their pictures and awesomeness, they made our wedding day truly unforgettable.

John and Inspire Me Imagery were so easy to work with. They were always professional, courteous, on time, and they responded quickly to any questions or concerns we had. They made the whole process from start to finish incredibly easy!

Inspire Me Imagery are awesome photographers who have the ability to capture unique moments that may not be typical of other wedding photographers. They were able to capture intimate moments throughout the entire day without being obtrusive or a distraction to the importance of the day. John and Lauren have such an artistic and trained eye that we felt comfortable and proud to be a part of their vision that resulted in the most amazing and beautiful wedding pictures.

John and Lauren did such a fantastic job not only with the photography, but with making us feel comfortable. Their calm and easy-going personalities helped to alleviate some of the stress felt during the wedding day. John and Lauren made us feel comfortable about having our pictures taken, allowing us to enjoy each special moment.

Inspire Me Imagery is fully committed to each couple, which was evident when they were still snapping pictures up until the very last note of the very last song.

John, Lauren, and Inspire Me Imagery is an amazing group of photographers that capture the most wonderful photographs. If we could do it all over again, we would choose Inspire Me Imagery every single time.

Photography was one of the most important vendors to us when we were planning our wedding, and I'm so lucky to have found Inspire Me Imagery. I spent hours looking at different photography vendors, and Inspire Me Imagery's style and vision stood out above the rest. From our first Skype call to our wedding day, John was awesome to work with. I was really nervous about pictures, because I tend to make awkward faces when I know people are taking photos of me. But John was such a pro at posing us all and made me instantly feel at ease. He was so organized in getting all the photos we wanted, and no task was too small; he even helped carry around my dress train to make sure it didn't get dirty while we were taking pictures outside. He was such a calming presence on my wedding day, which was really helpful among all the chaos. Throughout the day, John and Justin were friendly and unobtrusive, and John was so patient with us as I dragged him around the room trying to get table shots with everyone. My mom even really liked John, and she's a hard lady to impress haha. She let me know he was friendly and personable, and was always available when we had questions or wanted a specific picture.

I just received all the photos and they're absolutely amazing, even better than anything I could've imagined! Every time I look at them I see something new that I had missed before. John and Justin's ability to capture the perfect moment really comes out in their work. I felt like I relived my whole wedding day again, including the parts I missed haha. I've started sharing them with my family, and everyone is gushing over how wonderful the pictures are. When I got to the reception part, I've never enjoyed looking at reception pictures so much; they captured such wonderful moments of all my family and friends throughout the whole night! They are truly a business that loves what they do, and I am honored to have had them as our wedding photographers! Thank you so much!

As a video company, we had the pleasure working besides John and his team over this past weekend. It was, without a doubt, one of the best experiences we have ever had working with a Photography team. It was effortless. John had the Client's best interest in mind for every aspect of the day, not just Photo. He adapted to every situation and was friendly and super creative. We really enjoyed our time working alongside them and will be referring John and his company to ALL our couples who seek Photo for their wedding memories!

John is absolutely amazing! He not only has an eye for detail but is beyond talented and creative. A photographer was one of the first vendors we were in search of because documenting our wedding day was very important to us. After looking through countless vendors websites, we found ourselves bored with typical wedding day shots…until we came across Inspire Me Imagery. John’s ability to capture a moment in time that reflects the emotion, energy, and flow of that moment was something that instantly wanted us to have him capture our day. John was a blast to work with. He is upbeat, funny, and able to calm everyone’s nervous worries whatever they may be. Since we were living out of state, John made time to have Facetime calls with us to plan out the details of the day. In addition to shooting our wedding, he also did our engagement shoot and a boudoir shoot (as a special present for the groom). John’s free-spirited attitude allowed for so many one-of-a-kind photo opportunities, from shooting through the crowd in the middle of Asbury's Saturday Market to borrowing a stranger’s old school boom box for a few fun shots. Each set of photos was stunning. We had so many compliments on the unique ways in which John photographed our engagement session and wedding. We could not have asked for a better photographer, someone who understood our vision for the day and used his creativity to bring even more beauty to that vision.

Many things went differently than I had planned on my wedding day, such as having the ceremony indoors due to rain, it taking far longer for all of my bridesmaids to get their hair done than anticipated, and the general havoc of pre-wedding setup and stress. But my photographers kept everything together and John really helped keep me sane with his humor and quiet calmness. They took everything in stride, made sure to get every shot I wanted (and then some, of course!), and helped wrangle the bridesmaids and groomsmen for all the group shots. John also surprised me with lots of shots including two thematic pieces I had wanted photographed-- he really went the extra mile with them and I had SO much fun looking back at the pictures. I appreciate his efforts to make the photos more "us" and I can't thank Inspire Me Imagery enough. :)

John is absolutely AMAZING!! I can't say enough great things about him and how flawless our wedding photos came out. In addition to the breathtaking photos (they seriously look like something out of a magazine), John's professionalism and customer service go above and beyond (especially with how he handled my blizzard wedding day!). We loved John's photos just from checking out his website, but once we had our first FaceTime session with him, we were sold. I personally hadn't been in a lot of weddings before my own, and was clueless about the whole photography process. I had a list of probably 40 questions I asked him, constantly apologizing for how annoying I probably was, but he was so genuinely happy to answer them all and to walk me through everything. Up until the wedding I had several more calls with John and he continued to walk me through all the timing, planning, etc to calm my nerves. And then the week of the wedding came, and there was a monster blizzard in the forecast. When I emailed John a few days before the wedding asking if he was still in, he wrote back with the most thoughtful email assuring me that he would absolutely be there, no matter how bad the snow was, and that he was actually thrilled to get snow for the photos. The night before the wedding he emailed me to let me know he was already at the hotel (came in from the night before to be sure the snow didn't stop him from getting to me). Seeing that email meant the world to me when vendors could be canceling left and right. He was a real champ during the blizzard wedding and our photos are absolutely incredible. At the end of the night, I asked him what his thoughts were on doing something wild/trash the dress in the snow type of thing- he came up with the perfect idea of making snow angels. The photos are spectacular!! John isn't just an amazing photographer- he is a sincere, honest, and extremely talented professional. Highly recommend him!!!

We recently used Inspire Me Imagery for our wedding photos on March 12, 2016, and we couldn't be more happy with the outcome!!! Our photos were STUNNING and unique! The photographs truly capture all the emotion on our important and special day. John was cool, calm, and super passionate about the work he was doing. He was amazing to work with, organized, had tons of ideas, and kept everything easy breezy! Both him and his assistant were awesome, funny, friendly, and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole day. John was able to blend in and capture amazing photos as he snapped pictures of the girls getting ready, and he helped keep us on our time line! If you are looking for an amazing photographer for your wedding, please consider Inspire Me Imagery! You will not be disappointed!!

John from the start was absolutely amazing. I live in East Rutherford and he made the trip from Toms River in the snow to meet with me (that is about and 1 and 20 min at least )about my wedding when we were just in the deciding stages, he was kind and professional right from the start not to mention his work was amazing and I was excited to hire him. In the months leading up to our wedding we communicated through email in which we always responded quickly and in detail and if there was something that needed more thorough explaining he would always arrange a phone conversation. The day of the wedding (3/13/16) was a hectic one, I spent the whole day before sick with the stomach virus that put me in the hospital until 1 am, so none of the details that I was supposed to go over with my bridal party got discussed and so the next morning I was up for hair and make up at 7 am and just had to get started and pray for the best. With all of the chaos and everything being so unorganized John added a calm to the day that was so needed. His calm easy nature was just what we needed and he honestly was so helpful with working out all of the little kinks we were bound to run into considering the day before. To add to our chaotic day, we were supposed to go take pictures at the Asbury Park boardwalk, I was dying to take photos in front of the murals since I am a painter and just have connection with the arts in general, it really meant something to me to have that incorporated so when we got the news that the St. Patricks day parade was going to be happening that day I was seriously bummed but in a matter of minutes John was on the phone calling around and found an alternative location, a park near by. I had no idea there was a mural there until we walked up to it! I can't tell you how amazing that was for me. He payed attention to every detail and my photos are so beautiful and he got them edited so quickly, I only waited probably 2 and half weeks or so.

I cannot say enough positive things about John. He made every step of the process easy and enjoyable and the results were more than words can express, I cannot stop looking at our photos. The moment I knew he was right for us was in our initial meeting when he said, " I dont just want to photograph your wedding, I want to capture the emotion." Holding back tears, I knew he was the one for us. Every image he captured is better than the next, and I cannot recommend him enough.

My husband and I worked with John for our engagement shoot and wedding and we had a blast! John was so helpful and such a joy to work with. He goes above and beyond for his couples and his work is very creative. You can really see he loves what he does and he puts his all into it. The whole night of our wedding guests we raving about how wonderful our photographer was. We chose the Polaroids with our package and it was a major hit! Everyone had a blast taking them and we even got some awesome formal ones. Overall I have been telling all my bride to be friends about John and Inspire me imagery, they are honestly the best!

We both live in Michigan, and wanted to have our Wedding back home in New Jersey. Obviously, this complicated many aspects of planning, but not with Inspire Me Imagery. John was amazing right from the start, he met with us via Skype and was excellent and very friendly. He covered everything offered and went through all of the options we have and what we wanted, and at no point was pushy about any offerings. Two things we loved right off the bat, were how passionate you can tell John is about what he does, and the ability to have a photographer there the full time. You don’t have to worry about fitting them in to a certain time block. On top of this when it came to John’s presence at the wedding, taking pictures at seaside heights between the wedding and the cocktail hour, and the reception, he was incredible. At times that can be hectic with little ones running around, or being at a crowded Seaside Heights, he was very calming and excellent at directing everyone for pictures. The whole time John was so friendly, making sure everyone knew that if they’d like any pictures taken to just let him know. We never felt the need to though, as he always seemed to be right there for every single moment. At the wedding and the following day everyone that attended was raving about how excellent he was. Then of course the most important part, the pictures. Immediately that night he posted a few on Inspire Me Imagery’s Instagram and they were breath taking. It was so nice to have some incredible photos, and have them to share the day after our wedding. Only shortly after we had an album of some of the best shots from the wedding and they were all just incredible. We then received an online link and dvd’s with every picture, and we along with every one of our family and friends were blown away by how beautiful the pictures are. They are just so excellent at going so far above and beyond what you expect from wedding pictures. We never imagined having photographs th

Listen, all the reviews on here are 100% correct. Inspire Me Imagery photographed our wedding and I can't even explain how amazing these images are, just like everyone else who booked Inspire Me said. But, the one thing that impressed me the most with these guys, was the fact that when my bride to be, started stressing out over the weather, freaking because the hair was running a half an hour late, the limo showing up at the wrong address causing our ceremony to be 45 minutes behind schedule, John and Amber (somehow) calmed my wife and were the most relaxing presence during the whole day. As a groom, not much mattered to me outside of my girl showing up to the ceremony, making sure she enjoyed the day, and that her and I were not stressed that day. I owe them so much more than awesome wedding photos. I will always look back at my wedding and remember not only the wedding photographers who captured every moment for us to reflect on later in life, but the FRIENDS at Inspire Me Imagery I made that day while they documented my wedding. Just call them up or shoot them an email. You will not regret doing so.

I have to say the photography was one aspect of our wedding that I was most nervous about. The thought of having someone document our every move for an entire day stressed me out, but John and his partner Kristen were absolutely wonderful. We were so relaxed around them, and they really listened to what we requested. We lived abroad until the month before the wedding, but John put in the extra effort and Skyped with us to make sure we were happy with the direction we were heading in. On the day of the wedding he was very prompt and very organized. We only had a short amount of daylight to capture the bulk of our photos, which stressed me out quite of bit, but because John was so organized and calm about it I felt much better. From what we've already seen he got some amazing shots and we cannot wait to see the rest of them. One of the best features was a slideshow he put on display on a tablet during the reception of a few photos he had taken up until that point. The guests (and us!) absolutely loved it. I couldn't believe shots he had JUST taken outside were already in perfect condition to show off. Everyone really enjoyed looking at them! John and Kristen were awesome people and I would have enjoyed them at our wedding as guests even if they weren't working. We highly recommend them as a part of anyone's special occasion. You will absolutely get your money's worth. I cannot say enough good about their work! It is creative, innovative, and captures all of the many emotions of the day.

It was nothing but a pleasure doing business with Inspire Me Imagery. Their quality of service was phenomenal. They made me feel like they really listened to and cared about our wants and needs. They did a truly amazing job with capturing every special moment of our day. Our photos were STUNNING! My husband and I are looking forward to doing business with them for our future photography needs!! :)

John is absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met him, he made us feel as though we were already friends. (I consider myself awkward about having pictures taken of me, so it was important for us to find someone that we felt comfortable with.) He was hands down the most helpful vendor and who I spoke with the most throughout the process. He would contact me just to check in to see if the planning was on track and if I had any questions. He helped me set timelines, decide on videography, etc. When it came to the day itself, he again, made everyone feel super comfortable, joked with us throughout, but remained an absolute professional. Once formal shots were finished, we hardly realized he was there. He was able to move around like a ninja, work cohesively with another (videography) company, and still get the most amazing photographs. Oh my, those photos. I seriously could not say enough nice things. :) Such a great guy, so incredibly talented. Strongly recommended.

We were so excited to have John photograph our wedding this past September after seeing him in action at my brother and sister-in-law's wedding in December 2013. John is incredibly professional, creative, and enthusiastic. My husband tends to be camera shy, but John made him feel so comfortable during our engagement session that he was actually really excited to have him shoot our wedding! John has such a relaxed, fun personality that he could put anyone at ease! Not only did he take all the photos we had requested, but he captured so many other special moments on our wedding day as well! Looking at our pictures afterwards, it was like we were reliving the day from beginning to end! Many of our guests commented that they did not even see him and were shocked at all the amazing shots he captured! His prices were extremely reasonable, especially considering the quality of his work! Thank you John and Inspire Me Imagery!!

John is absolutely the best photographer. Aside from how talented he is and how he can truly capture some of the most beautiful shots and polish them off with the most amazing editing, he is also one of the nicest, most easygoing people I have ever met. He makes posing for pictures even more fun! In fact, my bridal party and family kept asking about him, and where I found him because they were so impressed by his demeanor and professionalism. It is obvious that John loves what he does. He never got tired at our engagement shoot and just kept taking pictures. In fact, we were worn out before he was. Even at our wedding he was more than happy to come as early as we wanted and stay until the very end. Any request you have is not too big or small.

We were having a hard time finding a reasonably priced photographer for our engagement and wedding photos. We met with some vendors charging over $7,000 and we were absolutely shocked by that. We were getting nervous that we'd have to forego other things (photobooth, videographer, etc.) just to have wedding photos. Then we found John from Inspire Me Imagery. When we met with John and saw his portfolio we were surprised but ecstatic to find he was within our budget. His "not just eight hours" service was amazing. John arrived at 6:30am to start capturing me and my bridesmaids getting our hair done (12:00pm ceremony) and didn't leave until we left our venue. Even then, he offered to get some shots of us and the bridal party in our limo.He didn't stop taking pictures the entire day. He thought of great poses on the spot and his editing turned out even better than we were expecting. When we got our pictures back a couple weeks after the wedding, it took us 2 1/2 hours just to look through each and every one of them - there were almost 2,000 shots! We would recommend John to anyone who is looking for a photographer, whether it is for a wedding, engagement photos, or any other special moment that you want to capture for a reasonable price while getting exceptional service!

Inspire Me Imagery is by far the best photography company you could hire for your wedding. They are affordable, personable, and incredibly talented. We hired Inspire Me Imagery for our February 2014 wedding in Jersey City, NJ at the Landmark Loews movie theater. Of all the photographers and companies we looked at Inspire Me Imagery provided the best value by far. Our photographers immediately put us at ease and made shooting all our formal shots a total blast! They were able to capture our both Old Hollywood themed affair and our fun loving personality as a couple without making those two things seem at odds with one another. We got our photos very quickly and were completely blown away by the variety, quality, and overall beauty. Inspire Me Imagery captured our day in a timeless, stunning way that managed to surprise us while also giving us the shots and feel we asked for. I could not have asked for better photos of our incredible day. I could not be more thrilled by their service or recommend them more highly.

OMG John and Kate were awesome!! I'm so glad we went with Inspire Me Imagery for our wedding!! One of my bridesmaids used John at her wedding 9 months earlier. As a bridesmaid in her wedding I got to meet John and see how he worked in person on a wedding day and I thought he was great. So after that I waited to see how her pictures turned out because I wanted to make sure that I liked his "vision" through the camera before deciding. The second I saw the pictures I was like YEP I'm going to use him. On our wedding day he was very respectful and always made me feel comfortable. I trusted that all of our pre-ceremony photos were going to look great and they did!.He was very affordable and I received the dvds with all of my photos within about a month of our wedding. There's so many pictures that I like that it's making it hard for me to decide which ones to hang up on our wall. I was very happy we added the second photographer for the ceremony and reception because the second photographer, Kate, took a lot of really great pictures too. I will definitely recommend this crew!

We could not have been happier with our choice in photographer for our wedding! John and the team at Inspire Me were beyond professional and even though our wedding was just two weeks ago, we already have our pictures!! People cannot get over how beautiful our pictures came out!! A photographer friend raved about them, noting that they are very personal and "well cared for shots"!! Thank you all!! WE LOVE INSPIRE ME IMAGERY!!!!

We worked with John at Inspire Me Imagery. He is so talented! He has such a great eye and is so creative! I was a bit worried about taking some outdoor pictures because of the weather being cold, snow on the ground, etc....we put together a great plan beforehand and it was executed perfectly. We now have these awesome Winter Wonderland pictures!! They are magnificent. He also got our engagement pictures and wedding pictures to us in record time. Lastly, John is the nicest guy--he made everyone feel so comfortable and at ease. He is just so easygoing and has a true passion for his work. Two big thumbs up for John! Also, we used Steve as the second shooter and he was SO great as well!!! We love Inspire Me Imagery!

Inspire Me Imagery is wonderfully, wonderful!! John was great and he was everything we wanted in a wedding photographer! We knew it was a no brainer to hire Inspire Me Imagery from our first meeting!! John even brought vintage cameras to the meeting so we can check them out (and just from that you knew he was an artist at this). Also, I am stoked to see that there are still some AWESOME professionals that haven’t been hit with that big-corporate America bug! If you want someone who is a true talented artist... you would be crazy not to go with Inspire Me Imagery!!

Thanks John!

To sum it up, John was amazing! He did our engagement photos and photographed our wedding, and he was awesome both times. I could go on and on about how wonderful it was to work with John. He was professional and came on-time and ready to go. He was so easy to have around on the wedding day, all of my bridesmaids kept commenting on how great and calming it was to have him around. He had some great ideas for photos, and also made sure to take care of everything on my shot list. I hardly even noticed he was there at the wedding, but when I looked at the pictures afterwards I was blown away by everything he managed to capture! The pictures he took are amazing! My sister-in-law hired him for her upcoming September wedding, and after seeing John in action on our wedding day, she is even more excited about her decision to work with him! I would HIGHLY recommend John and Inspire Me Imagery to any of my friends, he was truly a pleasure to work with!

I can not say enough about how amazing it was to work with John and Inspire Me Imagery! From the beginning we knew that he would be the perfect photographer for our wedding. John met us at our apartment to discuss his packages and show us some of his photos. We were impressed with his work as well as his professionalism, and we could tell he was going to be fun to work with! John was flexible with us planning our engagement photo session and was happy to meet us at a local winery to take the pictures. I am not usually comfortable being photographed, but John made the whole session fun, which made our pictures that much better. Our engagement shoot turned out better than I could have ever imagined! For our wedding John was prompt and creative with our photos, even taking us out in the snow for a quick session! At the reception, it seemed like there must have been 5 of him- whenever there was something happening, John was there! I will recommend him to everyone I know!! Thank you John and Inspire Me Imagery!

They caught shots in which I would have never even of dreamed about! I would recommend them to anyone that is looking to book with a fun creative team. I actually have people contacting me asking me who I booked because they love the photos! Would book again. Thanks Inspire Me Imagery for making my wedding day perfect!

John was absolutely fantastic! We had our engagement photos taken a few weeks ago, and needless to say we were a bit nervous. John made us feel so comfortable and assured us that we would be naturals in no time, and he was completely right. His excitement, enthusiasm, and a great eye for the perfect photo opportunity made it so easy to relax and enjoy the moment. John had all our photos to us in about a week, and we were blown away by how amazing they were. We cannot wait to have John capture our wedding day!

Inspire Me Imagery comes highly recommended from us!

These guys are amazing. John and his partner were on top of their game, professional and fun at the same time! They were incredibly understanding in terms of where to be when and included our little "Wandering Walberg" in all the pictures.
They were great with all of our crazy friends as well as all of the "photographers" who had to get every picture...
The prices were incredibly fair, the quality of the photos and simply artistry was fantastic! I loved them!

He came to our home twice and was so nice. The price is just right. I would have paid more though, they are so worth it! They are also shooting our wedding too and I cant wait to have them be a part of our day. Thank you JOHN!

We loved having Inspire Me Imagery take photographs at our wedding! Joe was our photographer and we had the best time working with him. He was early the day of the wedding, he was professional, and he was so easy to work with. He took a ton of awesome shots and was so flexible the entire day. I hate taking pictures but he made the entire process so much fun. We had many family members and friends comment about how they thought he was doing a tremendous job of capturing everything without being in the way. We are so so thankful and lucky to have worked with him!!! We would highly recommend Inspire Me Imagery to anyone looking to for amazing photographers!

John was amazing the day of the wedding! He was on time, got some great shots, and then stood by patiently while we waited for the limo to arrive. All the girls were ready almost an hour in advance, and John was patient with my craziness and nervousness. We got some good shots too! Even though it was a rainy day, we got some good shots of the bridal party in the reception hall and he took the groom and I outside for some cool shots. I liked that John didn't "hover"...we didn't even realize he was there, but he took awesome pictures! He was professional, funny and easy to work with. I have recommended him to a few of my friends and will continue to do so.

When I first met John I knew it he was going to be a perfect fit for our wedding, laid back, fun, creative & upbeat. John was our main photographer & we had two additional photographers snapping Polaroids, but they seemed invisible throughout the night. I'm not sure how they did it, but they took amazing pictures without be intrusive on the whole feel of the night. John's personality really shines through in his pictures & you can tell he takes pride in every shot he takes. On top of your suggested photos, he has a bag of creative poses & suggestions for snapping natural photos. That was key to us, catching the natural state of people & not getting back a thousand "prom" posed pictures & he delivered! Also, the Polaroids were a major hit with our guests as a take home present. I could write for hours & still have another compliment for John & his crew, and they deserve every last word of it! I can't thank them enough for perfectly capturing our special day!

I cannot say enough positive things about the experience we had with Inspire Me Imagery. From the start John was extremely patient and flexible with us. I did not feel like we were pressured into choosing a "package", and loved that we were able to say what time we wanted to start with photography and when to end. One of the first things our families mentioned when we got back from our honeymoon was how much they loved our photographer. I could go on and on how great it was to work with John during the day, but as happy as were with that is how excited we are with how beautiful our photos turned out. Not only are they more than what we expected, but we recieved our images so quick after the wedding! I would recommend Inspire Me Imagery to any bride, and have been since our wedding.

John is an amazing photographer. Affordable and has quality work. WE had both John and Kate and I absolutely LOVE my photos. They were on time, dressed appropriate, and had wonderful photo ideas. I even recommended them to my best friend

John has been a friend of mine for well over ten years, and started his own photography business. We hired him to do our engagement photos and our wedding day. John has been nothing but fantastic in helping us in anyway we needed. He has been super flexible, understanding and has a real passion for his work. He doesn't just "take pictures". He makes memories. Our engagement photos were breath taking, he met us at a location in Middle town at a butterfly garden, and took the most amazing photos! Our whole family ranted and raved about them! He kept in touch with us along the way, and any issues we had he worked with us. He is a family oriented business proffesional. The morning of the wedding him and his assistant showed up at the two locations exactly on time. He worked with our tight morning schedule(our ceremony started at 9am). He got so many great photos, and he got them to us super fast. We are going to be ordering our wedding album through him, and he gives his honest opinion on what he thinks is suitable for the couple. Stained Heart Imagery are definantly top notch--and I would reccomend them to anyone. His photoshopping skills are great, and he makes every photo look the way you remembered it. Thank you John and Stained Heart Imagery!

I LOVELOVELOVE Inspire Me Imagery!!!! I had hired them and Autumn was the photographer. She took pictures that I never even dreamed possible I could have from my wedding! She called me 2 days before went over a few things and just took over :) I didnt have to worry about a thing. I felt we clicked right away and she made me feel so comfortable like I'd known her for years! I couldnt believe how late she stayed also! Way beyond the very end! I would hire her again in a heartbeat next time I need photographer services. The pictures made me feel giddy like a little kid on Christmas lol They have my 100% recommendation!

Hands down this is one amazing photographer. You won't be disappointed. John is awesome to work with and so easy going. You will be so comfortable posing and he truly captures everything. Our wedding photos are so beautiful, unique, and creative. We couldn't be happier. I can't believe how cool our photos are, he made us look good!

John was such a great wedding photographer! We loved him from our very first meeting and we new that immediately we were going to choose him. He was so much better than any of the other people we met with. John really showed us that he loves what he does and wants to capture memories. He is creative and friendly and very professional, and of course his pictures are great. Our wedding day went very smoothly and John was great at telling us exactly what he wanted us to do - he obviously had a very clear vision for each picture. We should be getting back our pictures this coming week and we are very excited!! Would highly recommend!
