    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!!!

    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!

    Highly recommend!

    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 :)

    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.

    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!!!!!

    Wonderful photographers!!!!!

    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!!!

    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!

    Simply WOW!

    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!

    Maria is AMAZING. She knows what she is doing, and we are so happy to choose her as our photgrapher. When we first met her, she made us feel comfortable and was easy to talk to. We gave her inspiration and she made sure we got what we wanted. You will not regret hiring her to take your most important photos of your life.
