    A highlight of our big day!

    Lisa was a pleasure to work with from the moment I met her! It's important to work with vendors who mesh with your personality and vision, and Lisa was the perfect fit on all fronts. From a personality perspective, she is warm and bubbly. Her expertise with weddings and film was really exciting for us and we weren't let down.

    Lisa encouraged us to do the engagement shoot which ended up being great practice for the big day. She was always looking out for our best interest. She was low stress on the wedding day, never pushed us to do photos shorter or longer than we wanted. She returned our wedding photos within weeks...totally unheard of! She was truly a highlight. If you're considering working with her then I would highly encourage you to do so.

    Amazing - highly recommend!

    Lisa was such an amazing photographer to work with. From our engagement shoot where she was such a trooper with the rain and our unconventional location choices, to the wedding day when she was so graceful and organized with tons of extended family, you can't go wrong with her! Lisa was super flexible when we wanted to add some time coverage closer to our wedding date. She also shared so many great sneak peaks that we were able to relive the magic of our wedding day well before we got the full gallery. I was so happy with how our photos turned out and originally picked Lisa because she was so good with film. Our photos, especially our film photos, did not disappoint at all!!

    Erin! I had such a fun time sharing in your special day! Thank you so much for leaving a review! It means so much to me!

    Lisa is the best in the game!

    Where do we even start with Lisa? Lisa was one of the best decisions we made in regards to our wedding. She was the first vendor we booked and we instantly knew that she's the one for us from our initial call with her. Lisa is very professional, super creative, and she knows exactly how to move our vision to reality. Each and every photo captured by her and her team truly encapsulate all the feelings we felt during the engagement shoots and our wedding day. Her vivacious personality makes taking photos so fun and truly something we look forward to. She is also very good at translating the emotions of her subjects in pictures through different movements and directions that she gives. You can just tell that Lisa is very passionate and excellent at her job! We've enjoyed our time with Lisa so much and consider her one of our dear friends. If you want someone who truly understands you and can make your dream wedding come true, book her!

    Lisa Blume Photography's reply:

    awww what a sweet and thoughtful review! I feel the same about you two! This was such a special journey from meeting y'all in Cleveland for your first engagement session, to Lincoln Memorial for our second engagement and then sharing in the most magical wedding ceremony ever. I'm so thankful our paths crossed and I hope you will keep in touch!

    Phenomenal Photographer, Delightful Person

    Lisa is an absolute artist!! We can’t praise her enough. She captured the day so perfectly it feels like the love and joy of the day emanates from the photos. Lisa not only captured the events themselves but the personality of everyone there from me and my wife to our parents to the rest of our friends and family. The photos are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen and we couldn’t be happier. She’s not only an amazing photographer but a genuinely kind and wonderful person who is amazing to work with, incredibly conscientious, and just so so fun. I absolutely recommend her to any and all couples and especially to other LGBT+ couples looking for an inclusive and considerate photographer.

    Truly wonderful

    Lisa is a truly wonderful person and a phenomenal photographer. We knew we wanted to work with Lisa as soon as our initial call ended - she was personable, experienced, professional and spunky. We felt comfortable with her from the start, which was especially important for my husband and I, as we knew we would be a bit camera-shy. Lisa was flexible in working with us for a date for our engagement shoot, traveling from Chicago to NYC, which we couldn't have appreciated more. On our wedding day, Lisa braved the rain and helped us find so many beautiful options for photos (while staying dry!). We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out - they show the liveliness, energy and love on our special day! We love knowing Lisa and are so happy she captured our big day.

    I had the best time with you guys in nyc and in dc! I’m so thankful to have been a small part of your wedding weekend! Thank you for this nice review!

    Lisa is the best!

    Hiring Lisa was one of the best vendor hires we made for our Wedding at the Greenbrier Hotel in WV. Having photographed there before, Lisa new the property and knew exactly the pictures and memories we were hoping to capture and she made our special weekend truly unforgettable with the amazing photos. Working with Lisa was so easy! She is so professional, bubbly and honestly put both myself and husband at ease when we worked with her! We loved having you photograph our wedding! Truly felt like having family around as you captured our special day! Huge shoutout to your amazing team!!

    Best Wedding Photographer!!

    Lisa is the best!! She is really passionate about her work and it shows from the first time you meet her. Not only is she super talented but she is so kind and fun to work with. She also helped me with other wedding questions I had. She became a friend over my wedding planning process! The quality of her work is A+! She is worth every penny! Would definitely recommend doing engagement pics with her before your big day. We loved it! She also gives you so many awesome sneak peak photos right after your wedding day which we loved! Best decision to work with Lisa!!

    Above and beyond!

    Working with Lisa was an absolute delight. Lisa was professional, warm, creative, and and just so FUN. She really made my fiance and I feel "taken care of" and we had complete trust that she would deliver amazing images and we were not disappointed. Lisa's images strike the perfect balance of feeling authentic but also really sophisticated and timeless. We will treasure them forever and I am so glad we chose Lisa as our photographer.

    Working with Lisa was a dream! As someone who is a little shy in front of the camera, she made the experience soo much fun. She was so responsive, warm, and her photography was incredible - so artistic, timeless, and effortless. Highly recommend!!

    Beautiful candid film pictures I will always treasure

    I loved working with Lisa! She brought laughter and energy to the room while being professional and getting absolutely beautiful pictures. There were two pictures that I really wanted and she captured them better than I could have ever imagined. I particularly loved that she used film in addition to digital. The film pictures ended up being my favorite.

    Lisa Blume Photography's reply:

    Anya! Your wedding will remain one of my absolute favorites years from now! Your joy and happiness lit up the room! So thankful to be a small part of the special day!

    Simply the best

    Lisa + Mady are simply the best, better than all the rest. I loved working with these two. They truly took lemons and made the best damn lemonade. It POURED on our wedding day. We had to go to plan C for almost everything planned that day. The team did everything possible to get all the best shots no matter what. We had wanted to get them outside at the venue in peak fall foilage but had to do them inside my parent's house + on their covered porch. They are absolutely stunning. They got every single detail and made the day look as perfect as I remember it.

    Lisa was so accommodating with our multiple Covid postponements and location changes. She was fantastic; extremely professional but so personable and friendly, she made everyone feel so comfortable and we had a great time with our rehearsal and ceremony/reception photos. Lisa is the best!

    Creative , professional and fun to work with 💜

    I saw Lisa’s work on social media by chance, I was immediately captured by her artistic approach.
    I absolutely fell in love with her ability to harmoniously convey the right emotions & message. I love her style, specially the vintage BW looks.I knew then my wedding will be captured by Lisa Blume Photography or no one else.

    Their ability to imagine what’s going to
    Work with our overall wedding theme, skin tone, background , our outfits and lighting blew me away ! I think that really shows how creative they are.

    We are so in love with the white brick as backdrop and photos we took infront of the
    venue. I wasn’t sure how it will turn out when Lisa suggested but I trust her keen eye for detail.


    If you don’t have destination where you want your pictures taken, DO NOT FRET !
    Lisa and her team will scout a spot for you. They literally sacrificed their days scouting for the perfect place around DC - Baltimore area just for us !

    They are so passionate with what they do which made the photo shoot session so fun and not awkward. So sweet , kind and understanding. Our bridal party & families still talks about what a pleasure to work with them.
    We hope to be able to work with Lisa Blume Photography again in the future 💜

    Fabulous From Start to Finish!

    We had an amazing experience with Lisa as our photographer! She really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera right from the beginning when we did our engagement photo shoot! On the day of, she went above and beyond to get all the shots we wanted, and when we got the pictures back, they looked like they came straight out of a magazine!! So so happy we chose to hire Lisa as our photographer and we’d recommend her to anyone.

    The best photographer

    Lisa Blume is the best photographer. She has a way of capturing light beautifully in photos and more importantly, capturing the BEST moments. All of her photos are so natural and her skills with film photography are impeccable. She did my engagement and wedding photos and with both occasions, she paid attention to detail and really took the time to capture photos that are absolutely spectacular. She was very expeditious in getting the photos edited and sent them back to us very quickly. I am absolutely in love with each photo from my wedding. She has given us a gift of a lifetime and I recommend Lisa with my whole heart!!

    So talented and absolutely perfect!

    I am so thrilled Lisa could capture my wedding day! The pictures she took are breath-taking and really bring back so many aspects of the wedding. Lisa is so talented and photographed everything from the small details, to the people, to the one off moments I didn't even see, she got it all. In addition, she is so much fun to work with leading up to the wedding, for our engagement photos and the day off! She's professional and couldn't be sweeter.
