Engagement Photo Shoot: Tips from the Pros

I have had the pleasure of working with Cicely, owner of Procopio Photography. I asked her the other day for some tips for couples who are doing upcoming engagement sessions. Here is what she had to say:

“My tips for brides on engagement sessions: Really plan for your engagement session. The more you put into a shoot, the more you will get out of it. Getting your hair and makeup done is a must, you are only going to have one engagement session, so make it glamorous! Take the time to think about your outfits and what style/look are you going for. Another thing a bride can do to optimize their session is to talk to their photographer about their ideas. At Procopio Photography we take the time with all of our brides to help guide them toward a customized engagement session. Hilary & Paul are a prime example of a couple who's outfits, hair/makeup, & overall ideas for the shoot really all came together fabulously! Thank you Carla for your outstanding artistry on Hilary's hair and makeup!”

Check out some images from our latest engagement session with a fun couple, Hilary and Paul. Makeup and hair by Carla Ligon-Miller, CLMmakeup and images by Cicely Procopio, Procopio Photography.

Vintage touches in a modern way...

I love my job! What easier job to make beautiful women feel and look their best on their wedding day. I meet so many beautiful brides to be. They are always beautiful on the inside and out…which makes my job even easier. I had the pleasure of doing Melody’s makeup and hair and some of her wedding party’s hair on her wedding day. I absolutely loved Melody’s vintage inspired blusher veil, it fit perfectly with her romantic up do with volume in the front and curls down the back. We also decided to give her a bright pink lip instead of red to give a modern touch to her vintage look.
