The Full Story

At Inspiring Lens, photography isn’t just about capturing moments — it’s about preserving the feeling behind them. Whether it’s a couple exchanging vows or the sunlight spilling across a newly designed space, every image is created with purpose, creativity, and care.

Founded by photographer Anthony Laccetti, Inspiring Lens was born from a lifelong passion for storytelling through imagery. Anthony first discovered photography at the age of fourteen, developing film in a darkroom and learning how light could shape emotion. That early fascination has evolved into a refined skillset and a professional eye for composition, detail, and design.

After serving 12 years as an engineer in the U.S. Navy, Anthony developed a unique appreciation for precision and structure — qualities that now influence every photograph he creates. His technical background blends seamlessly with an artistic approach, producing images that are both visually striking and deeply intentional.

Today, Inspiring Lens offers wedding, real estate, and lifestyle photography throughout Southwest Florida, helping clients celebrate their stories through timeless, professional imagery. Each project is approached with the same goal — to create photos that feel authentic, inspired, and built to last.

When Anthony isn’t behind the camera, he collaborates closely with Inspiring Interiors, a design studio focused on creating beautiful, functional spaces. (You can explore more of that work at Inspiring Interiors).
