Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky Wedding Photographer + DJ Team
When your photographer and DJ already work seamlessly together, everything just flows—from your timeline to the energy on the dance floor.
We’re Mary (Chocolate Paper Studios) and Chad (Perfect Day DJs), and we’ve built this experience to make your wedding day feel easy, connected, and genuinely fun from start to finish.
Your day should feel easy from start to finish
that’s exactly why we combined photography and DJ into one seamless experience.
Your wedding day moves quickly—but it doesn’t have to feel rushed.
With the right team and a thoughtful plan in place, everything flows naturally, giving you the space to stay present, enjoy the people around you, and actually take it all in.
- One shared plan
- Seamless communication
- easy planning
- A day that flows naturally
With us, your photographer and DJ aren’t just hired separately—we’re a team.
We plan together, communicate throughout the day, and know how each other works—so everything feels smooth without you having to think about it.
When everything works together, you feel the difference

The team behind your photo + DJ experience
We’re Mary and Chad—husband and wife behind Chocolate Paper Studios and Perfect Day DJs—and we’ve spent years working weddings side-by-side together.
Because we’re not just collaborating for the first time on your wedding day, everything feels more natural. We know how each other works, how to read the room, and how to keep things moving without it ever feeling forced.
For you, that means less stress, better flow, and a day that actually feels like your own.

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.
