Most talented wedding photographer we’ve ever met!

My husband and I can’t thank Cicely enough for the most gorgeous engagement and wedding photos!!! She is truly a genius when it comes to photography. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, prepared, and clearly passionate about her work. What really stood out was how much research she did ahead of time—she scouted our venue and surrounding areas to find the most beautiful and unique spots for photos, and it truly paid off.

On the day of the wedding, Cicely made everything feel effortless. She captured every special moment we wanted and she gave great direction when we needed it. The final photos were stunning—natural, emotional, and full of life.

We’re so grateful to have had her as part of our day. Her dedication and eye for detail made all the difference. Ten out of ten recommend!

Cicely is great

We hired Procopio Photography for our daughter's wedding in April 2023 and we couldn't be happier. Cicely is professional, focused and easy to work with. She made sure everyone was comfortable (including our 18-month-old ring bearer!) and created a positive experience for everyone. And on top of that, her talent and creativity is incredible...our photos are stunning. I highly recommend Procopio Photography...it will be one of the best decisions you will make.

The best photographer & person!

If you are like me and are over analyzing the decision on which vendord to hire for your wedding, I can save you a lot of time with four words: Cicely is the best. As someone who dreaded the engagement shoot, it turned out to be one of the most fun days. Her responsiveness leading up to the wedding and attention to detail on the wedding day is unparalleled. Hiring cicely was the best decision we made. Her entire team is easy to work with, professional and fun to be around.

Best photographer!

Cicely is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. She's shot both my wedding and one in which I was the MOH and both came out perfectly. Her photos are stunning - she can do high drama, romantic moments and great candid crowd shots. But best of all she and her team have a very calm manner and great way of dealing with every member of the wedding party. We did not do first look and were pretty rushed taking photos during the cocktail hour and they still came out looking more beautiful than I even expected. And she's very responsive throughout the process. Do yourself a favor and hire Procopio!!

Everything I wanted in a Photographer!

Book Cicely right now! Or read this first, and then book, either way. When I was looking for wedding photographers, I felt like I was wading through an ocean of standard wedding uniformity. Then, a friend recommended Procopio. I was blown away by her work. I love her very beautiful editorial, photojournalism style. Cicely is also friendly and kind, not to mention a lot of fun. Guests at the wedding talked just as much about how much they loved our photographers as they did anything else! Looking at our engagement and wedding photos has been nothing short of bliss. I felt amazing while they were being taken, and looking at them too. I feel and look like a professional model in her photos! She’s worth every penny and then some.

We LOVE Cicely!

Where to even begin on all the ways Cicely is absolutely amazing to work with. As an artist, her work is unparalleled. She has an eye for the most unique, interesting and eye-catching shots... as we've shared our engagement and wedding photos with friends and family almost every person has commented on how stunning the photos are - and not just for what's in the frame, but really because of the way Cicely framed the shot(s). She is a true artist and you will love what she creates for you! And as if that wasn't enough, she's just fantastic as a human to work with! My fiancé was dreading our engagement session (spending hours taking photos is not his favorite thing) and then we ended up laughing and having a great time because Cicely set the mood for us to be FUN. She did the same on our wedding day... and our entire wedding party kept commenting "I love the photographer, she's amazing" and that was without even seeing a photo yet. We highly recommend working with Cicely -- you'll love your wedding photos AND have a great time in the process of creating them!

10,000 stars

I could rave about Procopio for days!!! From the engagement photos to the wedding day the blew us away. Our engagement photos were at a family farm and Cicely jumped right in laying in the pasture to capture the best photos I could have ever imagined. The entire planning process she stayed in touch and offered helpful advice for the day of. I definitely consider them family after all we went through! They went above and beyond my expectations as a photographer and everyone should hire them for their wedding!! They took my concerns about body image and made sure to fix little details as we took photos. I never had to worry about my photos for a second with them! You cannot go wrong with them in your corner!!! Worth every penny!

Amazing Photos and Great Team to Work With

Cicely was amazing to work with. From our engagement photos to the wedding album, everything has been a great experience. She really knows her stuff. She provided tips on what to wear for the engagement shoot and helped pick great locations. Our reception was on a rooftop in DC and the nighttime photos with the lincoln memorial and national monument in the background turned out phenomenal. We love how she always shoots more than just the traditional wedding photos of the wedding party/bride/groom/etc. We were able to get some really cool, fun, and different shots.

The best investment (and the best people)

If you need a TLDR version, here it is: Cicely and Jason are so talented and overall wonderful people. We are ecstatic about our photos; I cried going through them and reliving every moment. They are completely worth the investment, don't hesitate and hire them now.

For more details:

Getting to know them over the phone was actually hilarious and enjoyable, and we felt they understood from the jump what we wanted. The engagement shoot turned out to be super fun and gave us a taste of what to expect for the wedding day. We felt we made the right choice by going with Procopio in the middle of that shoot. When we received those images we absolutely knew it.

These are magazine-worthy photos, and every one of our loved ones have said so.

When Jason was injured and couldn't make our wedding day, Cicely arranged for her super talented friend Lisa to take his place as the second shooter, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable with this. After working with them for the engagement shoot (which is very smart that they require couples to participate in), we never questioned that they would make the right arrangement for the wedding day.

The wedding day was made complete by having them with us all day to document all of the moments. These photos are simply incredible, we can't wait to hang them in our home and share them with friends and family. Again, we are talking about award-winning level of photography.

Thanks for everything Cicely, Jason and Lisa, I hope we get to work with you again in the future!
