Lisa Blume Photography

I’m a multi-location destination film photographer frequenting Chicago and Washington DC. Using medium format cameras, I bring a unique style to wedding photography and provide a level of sophistication that puts you at ease in front of the camera. After a decade of shooting weddings, my passion for natural light, emotion, and pretty little details keeps me searching for the perfect shot. I love that weddings encompass all aspects of photography: portraits, action, and detail. It’s what keeps me enthralled with capturing the precious moments and connection that fill couples’ special days. Incorporating southern charm and urban sophistication in timeless and telling images is what I do best! My fun, playful, laid back personality helps you relax and simply enjoy your day. I received my Master’s in Commercial Photography from Savannah College of Art & Design, and my Bachelor’s in Fine Art Photography from Hollins University. With over 200 weddings in my 14 years in the industry, I’ve captured photographs at all types of venues — churches, historic buildings, industrial art galleries, homes, backyards, hotel ballrooms, beaches, and tents. I have lived a little all over the East Coast and currently travel back and forth from Chicago to Washington, DC for work. I recently moved to the Roscoe Village neighborhood of Chicago with my husband, Matt, our toddler, Charlie, and tiny cockapoo, Jolene. When I'm not documenting precious memories, you can find me at a concert at the 9:30 club/ Metro, enjoying a drink on 14th Street/ Fulton Market, bopping around to all the fitness studios, or taking in the newest exhibition at Longview Gallery/ Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. I also love attending music festivals like Lollapalooza, New Orleans Jazz Fest, SXSW, and Pitchfork. My work has been featured on: Martha Stewart Weddings, BRIDES, The Knot Magazine, Style Me Pretty, Southern Weddings, Ruffled, Elizabeth Anne Designs, Washingtonian Weddings, HGTV, Glamour & Grace, Bridal Musings, & Buzzfeed
