LISA BLUME
Timeless, Telling Wedding Photography
Your love story is one for the ages, babe.
You and your partner are the perfect couple — a little city, a little country, a lot of fun.
You work hard and party harder, traveling across the globe and impressing everyone with your style as you go. You’ve got big dreams and an even bigger drive to make them happen. And with that life-of-the-party personality, who could stop you?
That legacy should be — needs to be — captured. In natural light. On film. With tons of emotion. Through inspired portraits, emotional action, and lots of pretty little details.
And that’s my speciality.

Bright Photos, Bubbly Personality
If an exclamation point was a person, it would be me. I can’t help it!
I’m head-over-heels in love with my work! I get to celebrate the sweetest people and tell their incredible stories in stunning destinations across the globe. I have a “pinch me!” moment every time I pull out my camera, even after two photography degrees (shoutout to SCAD and Hollins University) and more than 16 years working as a photographer.
That perpetual enthusiasm is my secret to magazine-worthy, fine art photography. The sunshine may make gorgeous images, but so does a sunshiny personality.
So let’s get ready to have some fun!
MY SIGNATURE AESTHETIC
Cosmopolitan Images
A wedding in bustling downtown Chicago. Bridal portraits in the relaxed Carolina Lowcountry. A trendy New York City engagement session. An editorial shoot for the ambitious Washington, DC couple.
It doesn’t matter what venue you choose — each destination has elements of Southern charm and urban sophistication. And marrying these two seemingly opposite ideas is the signature Lisa Blume look that’s caught the eye of Martha Stewart Weddings, BRIDES, Washingtonian Weddings, Modern Luxury Chicago, and couples just like you.

A Technique Mixologist
Just like a bartender combines an ounce of this and a splash of that to create your delicious signature wedding cocktail, I’m also a mixologist of sorts, blending photography techniques and approaches to create a gallery that’s distinct to you.
You are always my inspiration, so every “recipe” is different, but some of my favorite ingredients to include are:
Film cameras that create soft, romantic, timeless images in the way that only film can
Digital photography that captures every moment as it unfolds
Editorial photography that gets the shot you (or your mom) wants
Fine art photography that capitalizes on my artistry to produce a stunning shot
Photojournalism that documents real, raw emotions and action as they actually happened
“Lisa’s images strike the perfect balance of feeling authentic but also really sophisticated and timeless.”

GLOBAL PHOTOGRAPHER
My Bags are Packed
A truly great photographer can capture beautiful images in any setting, but damn does it help to be surrounded by a gorgeous place! And I’ve been lucky enough to shoot in many of them. Most of my weddings are in Chicago and Washington, DC (my current and former homes), but my clients have also taken me with them across the country and the globe.
It doesn’t matter if we’re in Charleston or Cartagena — your gallery will always include the inspired portraits that I’m known for, action that show the emotions of your wedding, and pretty little details that perfectly capture of your best day ever in your favorite city ever.
