Procopio Photography

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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!

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.

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!

Having Cicely and Jason photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! My husband and I researched and talked to a lot of photographers before hiring Procopio. We really appreciated their down-to-earth attitude and how they were able to capture truly authentic emotion and drama in their photos. I'd never been in a wedding before and didn't know what to expect, but they made us feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera. They were also really organized and provided great recommendations on where to do a first look and wedding party photos since we couldn't get into the venue until a few hours before the ceremony.

It's hard to explain just how much joy their photos give us. They not only captured all of the important ceremony and reception moments, but really captured the love and pure happiness among us, our family, and our guests. It's impossible to pick even a few favorite photos - from ones where we're laughing and dancing with our parents, to formals with family and artistically framed scenic shots, we will always treasure these photos.

Couldn't have made a better choice in selecting Cicely and Jason as our wedding photographers. Your photographers aren't just people taking photos of you, they are the ones entrusted to record your memory of your big day, they are story tellers portraying a narrative, documenting all of the emotions that come with it. Both photographers left no stone unturned, no moment unphotographed. We did not realize how much we would cherish these photos until we received them. We could immediately tell their desire to get to know us as a couple and our style + their passion for photography really showed in the level of thought and detail that went into producing our photo deck!

This review is a long time coming. We are almost at our one year anniversary and I still look back at our photos nearly every day. Cicely and Jason were the best decision we made on our wedding day (other than the whole marrying each other thing). Their approach to couples is friendly, personal and also completely professional and buttoned up. They explain their needs in great detail so that you are truly aware of how hard they are working to accommodate your vision along with the realities of what's possible at the location, time of day, etc. They went above and beyond by doing a site visit of our venue, since they had never been, and they had a thorough and exhaustive list of shots to blanket our day in amazing photo coverage. The photographer really drives the timing of your day, and you spend a good amount of time with them — which is why its fantastic that they are fun and funny as well. Our finished photos were so ... us. They took time to get to know us, listen, and make sure that our personalities shined in our photos. HIRE THEM. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

Cicely and Jason were fantastic to work with! Not only did they help capture photos that encapsulate us, but they were easy to work with and creative to boot.

Cicely and Jason were absolutely the best. We were impressed by their creativity and just had a lot of fun shooting with them for both our engagement photos and our actual wedding. I would highly recommend them.

Cicley and Jason did several of our wedding events back in 2016 (engagement ceremony) and 2017 (full traditional 4 day indian wedding). We are almost coming up on our 2 year Wedding Anniversary this November and i can honestly say hiring Procopio Photography was hands down the best decision we have ever made. As we did the full 3 day traditional indian wedding, Cicely was there right from the beginning starting with our Mehendi Ceremony to the Wedding Reception. Cicely and Jason constantly made us feel comfortable and relaxed during this intense wedding timeline and they were always accommodating with last minute changes or additions to the timeline. Our photographs for all of the events were absolutely stunning and me and my husband still look through them on a daily basis to this day!!!

I can honestly say that they will make your vision come alive - indian weddings are known for their vibrant colors and it really showed through in the pictures which always brings back good memories. Some of the shots were almost impossible to take but they made it happen - HIRE THEM, YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!!

Love,
Nidhi and Sunny

Jason and Cicely are AMAZING!!! I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone! They are extremely creative and their photos look like art; the photos are of the utmost quality. Working with them is a dream; they're funny, professional, and beyond knowledgeable about their craft. We were so lucky to hire them and I will absolutely hire them again for any other photography needs we may have.
