"As a wedding coordinator, working with Pam Cooley Photography was an absolute joy from start to finish. From a planning perspective, Pam was timely, organized, efficient, and incredibly easy to collaborate with. She truly listens to her couples and takes the time to understand what is most important to them, which is reflected in both her process and her beautiful work.
