    Incredible Experience w/ Photographer/DJ Duo

    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.

    Amazing Photographer!

    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!

    Sensational Service!

    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

    Amazing Photographer! Search No More!

    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.

    10/10 - Wonderful!

    Mary is amazing! She was professional and punctual. Super easy going and fun to work with. She made me feel amazing on my big day. On top of her being wonderful to work with, the photos are great quality. She has a creative eye and was extremely patient with my crazy bridal party. I’d give her more than 5 stars if I could!

    Incredible!

    This was the second wedding in my family where Mary was our photographer (with Pam as her assistant), and we can’t recommend her enough! First, she is so kind, fun, and supportive. She responded quickly to communication, and it was easy to feel comfortable posing in front of her. Our friends and family also enjoyed the nice preview and day-of posts on her social media pages. She was very open to our ideas and preferences in photos, and has tons of great and creative ideas of her own. Our engagement photos were stunning, and she did a great job corralling large family group shots at the wedding. Photography was an area that we felt stressed about, but from early communication, to timeline management, through all the details on the Big Day, Mary made the whole experience stress-free and fun!

    Highly Recommend!

    Mary was beyond amazing to work with! She is truly on top of her game and very timely when it comes to communication. Right off the bat you will see how passionate Mary is about her clients, photography and making each session with her a blast.
    I strongly suggest selecting The Perfect Day with Chocolate on Top package, which includes her husband’s DJ company, Perfect Day DJs. Mary and Chad work wonderfully together!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Mary was absolutely amazing throughout our entire wedding day! She came ready to work and immediately had ideas of how to use our getting ready space to take great photos. She knew what she was doing and made us feel so comfortable while taking the photos. When we received the photos back we were so happy! They are all amazing and every aspect of our day was captured. We highly recommend!

    Love pictures from Chocolate Paper Studios

    I am so glad we found Mary and Chocolate Paper Studios through her husband's Perfect Day DJ's site! She was so responsive and let us look at past albums to get an idea of what to expect. She set up a Zoom call for us to meet and ask any and all questions we had. She did our engagement photos and she was so amazing. I wanted someone that would tell us how to pose, where to go next, etc. and she was perfect! She definitely knows what she's doing and knows where to get the best shot. She is also open to any ideas that you may have, so come with pictures! She was very responsive via email to any questions we had and made sure to have a final call the week of the wedding to make sure we had all of our shots figured out. She also has a form you fill out that goes over everything you could think of for pictures on your wedding day.
    During the wedding day, her and her second photographer were right on time and were amazing getting everything done. We have so many amazing pictures and a nice slideshow she set to music that we can always look at. We can't stop smiling when we look at the pictures and relive our day. Thanks so much Mary!!

    Amazing Experience!

    Mary was absolutely amazing! We did both our engagement photos and wedding photos through Chocolate Paper Studios. We were able to bring our new puppy to the engagement shoot and Mary got some amazing shots of both him and us! She was so helpful with everything wedding related! She even offered to help coordinate with other vendors in the event our wedding had to be moved due to COVID (thankfully that didn't happen). I highly, highly recommend her!

    Best Photographer EVER!

    Mary is exceptional. She is amazing at her craft and has an amazing teammate in her second shooter, Katie, who worked with us on our wedding. I cannot imagine ever going to another photographer for pictures. She did both our engagement and wedding photos and I think it’s safe to say she’ll be the first photographer on our list for any future needs. We love you, Mary!

    Picture Perfect

    The minute we met Mary (Chocolate Paper Studios) and Chad (Perfect Day DJs) we knew we wanted them to be a part of our big day. They are both incredibly genuine, good people and we felt that we would be taken care of our entire engagement process up to our wedding day. It was a good thing, too, because our engagement ended up being a lot longer than originally planned. We needed to postpone our wedding TWO TIMES during the pandemic. Chad and Mary made us feel at ease through the chaos. They worked with us both times and somehow still made the planning fun even though we were under a lot of stress.

    Mary and Chad made sure everything ran smoothly the entire day. Our other vendors had great things to say about them as well which is another testament of how great of a job they do. She assured us she knew of spots in case it rained (our pictures were downtown Cincinnati). Mary and her assistant were fun and easy going; which was great energy to have as we were with them all day! Mary was able to work quickly and had our photos back to us in time for holiday cards. The pictures turned out beautifully and we also got a nice slideshow of the day.

    Chocolate Paper Studios and Perfect Day DJs also have a package deal if you book together. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND both of them! They are the best team and will make your day unforgettable.

    Best photographer in tristate area

    Mary was AWESOME!! We had a blast at our engagement session when we hijacked some swans. At the wedding, I have a large family and she helped us to organize everyone to make sure I got all the photos that I wanted. She helped us pick the perfect spot for post-wedding photos and was flexible when we asked to visit my husband's grandma at her nursing home. She was so professional and helpful, not to mention her photos are stunning. She and Chad (Perfect Day DJs) are an unbeatable team!! 10/10 recommend!!

    Chocolate paper studios was FABULOUS!

    Mary and her second phorographer Rachel were a PLEASURE to work with! We had a picture perfect wedding day and I have no doubt in my mind that they are a big part of that! With the rain that was predicted, Mary was super knowledgeable in suggesting adorable places for pictures outside that were covered. She responded to my 10,000 emails asking questions so quickly and just made us feel so incredibly comfortable from the time we booked her, through our engagement session, and the wedding. The sneak peak we got is amazing, and we can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures! Definitely book Chocolate Paper studios for all your wedding needs, you won’t be disappointed! If you want to really do it the right way, book the “Perfect Day with Chocolate On Top” package and get her husband Chad as a DJ. Seriously this family exceeded all expectations! :)

    Beautiful Photos- Awesome Experience

    We had an awesome experience going through Chocolate Paper Studios and working with Mary for our engagement and wedding photos. Mary loves what she does and it truly shows in her work. She was really professional, flexible and fun to work with. She gave perfect suggestions for neat locations and she really worked with us with our timeline to get everything we were looking for. Mary is a photographer I would recommend to everyone! Our engagement photos are beautiful with so many different poses and shots, black and white options, color options. She really captures the moment perfectly! We can not wait to see our wedding photos!

    Amazing Experience

    Chocolate Paper Studios was amazing from the beginning to end. When we first met, Mary was friendly and down to earth, which was one of the reasons that we decide to chose Chocolate Paper Studios as our wedding photographer. With the package we chose, we got a free engagement session. Mary made us feel comfortable throughout the session and was willing to even hike through the woods to an old train bridge to get some of the photos. We could not have been happier with how the photos turned out. Fast forward to the wedding and Mary continued to exceed our expectations. She called me a couple weeks before the wedding to review all of the details that we filled out in a questionnaire previously. She gave great recommendations for locations for both our engagement and wedding photos. Our wedding photos turned out amazing and we could not be happier. The turn around for the pictures was quick. We were able to order a wedding album that Mary put together and it turned out great. Our families also loved the photos and working with Mary. Mary was professional and a joy to work with. I cannot say enough good things about Chocolate Paper Studios.

    Phenomenal photographer and great person!!!

    I would wholeheartedly recommend Mary and Chocolate Paper Studios to anyone out there looking for a phenomenal photographer to capture their special event. We stumbled upon Mary and Chocolate Paper Studios while meeting with her husband Chad for Perfect Day DJ services and we are so thankful that meeting occurred. Mary was so warm and friendly and made us both feel comfortable from the start. We were both nervous about the photography side of things as neither of us really feel comfortable in front of a camera. However, after just the first few minutes of the engagement photo session, we were having a blast. Mary made it all feel so natural and encouraged us to be ourselves and have fun with it. We were blown away when we received the pictures afterward. The angles and lighting were beautiful and some of the little details she focused on were just perfect. We were so excited to work with her again for the big day and she went above and beyond expectations. She and Tiffany, her second shooter, were such a pleasure to work with. They were organized and efficient while still being laid back, open to silly suggestions, and so much fun to work with. They felt like part of the family that day. I can not express in words just how AMAZING the wedding photos turned out...they are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and looking through them is like reliving the best day of my life. I know I'll be contacting her again if we ever need a photographer

    Mary and Chocolate Paper Studios exceeded our expectations in every way.

    Mary and Chocolate Paper Studios exceeded our expectations in every way. My husband and I were overwhelmed and unsure where to start with finding a photographer for our wedding. We learned about Mary while visiting with her husband Chad, who we hired as our DJ. Upon meeting, we were instantly sold on both her photography and her warm and friendly personality.

    Mary was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout our engagement shoot, wedding planning and wedding day. Neither of us is very comfortable in front of a camera, yet Mary made it feel very natural. She kept us laughing the entire time and had a lot of great ideas for photo locations and poses. Additionally, Mary went above and beyond and provided advice and guidance on our wedding day events and timeline.

    Once we received our digital album from Mary, we were blown away again. She perfectly captured every moment of our wedding day and we are able to relive the best day of our lives every time we look through it. It’s actually been quite challenging to pick out which photos we want to have framed because there are so many great options to choose from.

    We honestly could not imagine having anyone else photograph our wedding day. Mary instantly felt like an old friend and made everything so easy for us. We’d also highly recommend hiring her husband Chad from Perfect Day DJ’s. The two of them worked together and did anything and everything to make our wedding day absolutely stunning. We will be forever grateful for Mary and Chocolate Paper Studios whenever we look at our wedding photos.

    Absolutely amazing!

    I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT MARY AND STEPHANIE! Mary was an absolute wonder to work with from the beginning of our wedding planning process. Leading up to the wedding she was so helpful and willing to answer any questions that I had (and there were a lot of them!). Planning a wedding while in medical school and out of town made some things a little difficult, however, when I asked Mary for suggestions on vendors she was on top of it and had amazing suggestions! After Mary took our engagement pictures, we knew we had made the perfect choice. As a couple who is very camera shy, she made it feel natural and just encouraged us to have fun and enjoy the moment. At points during our engagement pictures and wedding we gave Mary free reign on pictures she wanted to take, and they have turned out absolutely gorgeous. She was also very knowledgeable of various locations for pictures, and we relied on her experience with absolutely stunning results. We loved her so much that I actually booked a family session with my family the day before the wedding! The day of the wedding Mary and Stephanie were just amazing, from making sure that my hair was out of my face, fluffing my dress, and making sure I was comfortable standing for long periods of times for pictures. They played a very vital part in making my day as perfect as it was. I would 100% recommend using Mary and her team for your big day, they did an amazing job and I can’t wait to use them again in the future! Also, if you are still looking for a DJ we suggest booking the package that includes DJ service from Perfect Day DJs! The chemistry and teamwork that Mary and Chad have is phenomenal!

    Mary was fantastic to work with We met once and did everything else remotely (I was in Chicago, she in Northern Kentucky) She had great ideas, did everything in a timely manner, and was willing to work within our budget. Mary did the invitations and programs for both my sons and daughters wedding Each were very unique and we received so many compliments. I highly recommend Chocolate Paper Company. I will definitely use them again
