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.

MEET LISA BLUME
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 and more than 19 years working as a wedding 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 Weddings, and couples just like you.

“Working with Lisa is like working with your best friend who is also a creative genius.
No matter the role - bride, mother of bride, step brother, guest, etc., - she makes every person feel confident and comfortable in front of her camera. She always comes prepared to the nines, from shooting locations and styling details to timing, but is also able to quickly and effortlessly adapt and roll with whatever may arise - and from a planner's perspective, that is the perfect combination! We absolutely love working with Lisa and know that our clients are in the best of hands when we do!”

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.
