Scam artist and fraud. We paid him in full and he didn’t show up to our wedding. I talked to many brides who he did this to. He has a history of showing up to weddings and then never delivering the photos. DO NOT HIRE.

Absolutely do not hire Rich Aguilar. This man is a Scam artist. My husband and I are only one in a long line of couples he's scammed. He took our wedding photos in Oct 2022 and promised to deliver our photos within 2 weeks. We contacted him a month later and despite a few false claims of saying he will have them “soon” which eventually led to zero communication or response from his end when he didn’t deliver the photos, he's never got back to us since! We had to file a lawsuit and he still hasn't responded to that. Imagine having spent over a year trying to plan for a wedding and spending a decent amount of money only to not have a single picture to look back on. I wouldn’t want that for anyone. So do yourself a favor and under no circumstances do not hire this man for anything!

My husband and I have been dealing with a couple’s worst nightmare when it comes to wedding photos. We had hired Rich of Aguilar Photography for our wedding that was in July 2021. We are still dealing with the aftermath of it all. First, on the day of the wedding, Rich seemed irritable and just not himself, but ok I get it, things happen in your personal life. Fast forward to the beginning of September when I reach out to him to get an update on when our photos will be done. He told me soon, however just a week later he then updated me that my photos were actually lost and they had been lost since the end of August! So, he actually lied to me about the status of the photos. His losing the photos was completely negligent on his part since he took the memory cards on another shoot a month after our wedding without backing them up to anything. He then promised us a refund and to get scheduled for a mini shoot to try and recapture some of the shots. To make a long story short, that never happened. He eventually stopped replying to us when we kept pressing on trying to get things figured out. We had to resort to taking him to small claims court in order for him to finally reply to us, but that didn’t last long either. He had agreed to a payment plan for the refund, but again never followed through. So we ended up in small claims court and he didn’t even bother to show up. So here we are a year later, with no wedding photos and nothing to try and amend the situation. I would highly recommend finding a new wedding photographer if you were considering Aguilar Photography as yours. His system is flawed and he is the most inconsiderate and uncompassionate person I have ever met when it comes to trying to right a wrong. You will regret hiring him.
