I suppose that you do not need this as a float.
Therefore it's very easy with package multicol!
\begin{multicols}{3}
-insert first image with a width of 100% of column
Title (the person's name) this lines all centered
Subtitle line 1 with layout->paragraph->center
Subtitle line 2
-insert second image with a width of 100% of column
\end{multicols}
if you want to have some space between Title and Subtitle,
put the cursor in the titleline and insert
layout->paragraph->vertical alignment->above->length
a length.
