TIMELESS imagery and thoughtful STORYTELLING

Northern Kentucky Wedding Photographer

Mary Aulick is

The photographer behind Chocolate Paper Studios

Serving couples throughout Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati, Mary and her team will document your wedding day in a way that feels natural, intentional, and enduring.  Blending candid moments with refined portraiture, our work centers on real connection, meaningful details, and the in-between moments that give each wedding its own rhythm and story.

WEDDINGS MOVE QUICKLY,
no two days ever feel the same…

Mary brings a present, confident, and comfortable approach to every celebration — responding to the energy of the room while staying focused on what matters most.

From intimate gatherings to full-scale celebrations, the goal is always the same: honest coverage, well-composed imagery, and photographs that feel true to the people in them — 

Never forced.  never overly staged.

A story-driven,
DOCUMENTARY APPROACH...

Every wedding deserves to be photographed with care and intention. Our approach combines documentary coverage with thoughtful portraiture, allowing moments to unfold naturally while still creating images that feel polished and cohesive.

Couples often describe our work as:
Natural and unposed
Story-focused and intentional
Timeless rather than trend-driven

We chase moments, not trends.

EXPERIENCE
that makes the day easy...

You stay present.  We'll take care of the rest.

Photographing weddings across a wide range of venues has built an understanding of how venue layouts, lighting, and timelines shape the flow of the day. That experience allows us to guide couples with confidence while remaining flexible and unobtrusive.

Whether the celebration takes place in a historic setting, outdoors, or in a modern event space, the focus remains on documenting your day thoughtfully and efficiently.
