Mary's photos of our wedding were absolutely beautiful! My husband and I shared them with our friends and families and they are blown away. One of the comments we’ve heard over and over has been how perfectly she captured authentic moments throughout the night. There are photos I’ve seen bring back memories we had already forgotten or not fully appreciated as they were happening. Her editing style is beautiful. I can't thank Chocolate Paper Studios enough for being part of our wedding day.
We hired Mary alongside her husband, Chad, with Perfect Day DJ and they are both extremely talented at what they do. Having a DJ and photographer that work with one another so seamlessly was a better experience than we could have wished for. Weeks before the wedding Mary provided a very detailed timeline for the day with room for any suggestions, changes, or personalization. The flow of our wedding was perfect. We had so many compliments on how well the night was organized thanks to Mary and her husband.
Thank you both again for everything!

Mary was fantastic to work with. We’d never had professional pictures and really didn’t know what we were doing or what to expect. She was a HUGE help every step of the way and made the process easy and fun. Communication was fantastic and the time line she made for us kept everything on track. Our pictures turned out better than we could have imagined. From formal photos to candids and shots from the dance floor she perfectly captured the fun and memorable wedding we want to look back on 50 years from now. We also had Mary’s husband Chad (Perfect Day DJ’s) as our DJ and working with a couple who work so well together made the experience even better!

Mary Aulick photographed our wedding on December 2nd of 2023. She was recommended to us by our DJ company (perfect day djs) whom both do a lot of weddings at our venue- Hotel Covinginton. I would absolutely recommended Mary! The connection and ease we found with her shined through up until our final product. Mary also did our engagement photos. All of our photos came back stunning. The album we received with our package was amazing as well. I’ve received so many compliments on all of our photos and will definitely use Mary for any photography needs in the future!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! We worked with Chocolate Paper Studios (Mary) and Perfect Day DJ's (Chad) for more than a year leading up to our September 2023 wedding and they were nothing short of fantastic. Working with the 2 of them together was the best decision we made for our wedding. We worked with Mary on our engagement shoot - she loved all of our wild ideas and really made it so comfortable for us even though we've never been professionally shot before. They were so organized before wedding day putting together timelines and listening to all of our requests. We got SO many compliments on Chad the night of our wedding. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was having a great time. They even surprised us with sparklers during our first dance and the photos are so incredible and that was something we will never forget!!! If you're looking for DJ and photography for your wedding honestly look no further. This couple will do everything and anything to make your day perfect and special. We are so grateful we chose them.

Mary did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding photos. We had the pleasure of first meeting Mary in March for our engagement photos. Mary made communication very easy and was quick to respond to emails. She had lots of great recommendations for places to get pictures for our engagement and our wedding. She was very accommodating to any changes that needed to be made and talked about plans for bad weather (Luckily, we had great weather for both).

We had so much fun for our engagement shoot! Me and my husband are definitely not naturals when it comes to photo shoots, but Mary helped us relax and be ourselves. She made our experience feel very personalized and fun!

Leading up to the big day, Mary stayed in touch and set up phone meetings to help plan our photography timeline for the day. The whole process was very smooth. We did not have a wedding planner, so it was great to have everything planned in advance.

Mary (and second photographer, Kendall) did such an amazing job capturing our entire wedding day and taking absolutely beautiful wedding photos! Mary let the magic happen and captured so many beautiful candid photos in addition to our amazing portraits. We didn’t even realize Mary was capturing many of the ones that she did, but we are so glad we have them. She captured everything from getting ready, to the first look, ceremony, and reception. They also helped with any extra things (such as helping me bustle my dress) - such a blessing!

We could not have asked for a better photographer to go with for our wedding. Mary truly knows how to capture your special moments!

Mary and her team are amazing to work with! She produces the best wedding photos and is a great person to be around. She has a nice balance of taking control of a situation when/if needed but is also able to hang in the background to capture all of the candid moments. You are getting more than a photographer when you hire Mary and her team. I can't wait to use her for any of our photo needs in the future. Thank you Mary for all your hard work and the beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever

Mary was absolutely amazing!! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day! She was so helpful in planning and especially the day of the wedding. Definitely going to her for any future pictures needed!

Mary did an incredible job taking photos and ensure we could capture all the important memories for our wedding and engagement photos!

Mary was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was professional and punctual while also fun and flexible. While organized she was encouraging and the photo quality is fantastic! Kendall the assistant was hilarious and the two genuinely made our wedding a better experience

Mary was the best photographer and bride or groom could ask for. She was so welcoming, helpful, and organized. She first took our engagement shoot, and the pictures turned out great. I had no idea where I wanted to go and she made suggestions. As for the day of the wedding, Mary was flexible to work with our schedule since we had some changes due to weather. She had a very calming presence during the change from Plan A to Plan B, which is the best thing any bride planning the wedding could have asked for. I cannot recommend her enough! If you want someone experienced, easy to work with, helpful, organized, goes above and beyond, and more, Mary/Chocolate Paper studios is it! It was also very helpful to have her husband (Perfect Day DJs) be a part of of our day as well. They both helped plan and work with our wedding day schedule.
