Rick and his team are very creative and innovative. They go above and beyond what you think any photographer would do for you and are very kind. Rick helped pin on the flowers and helped us during our cake cutting! He also gave us awesome ideas before, during, and after our wedding. He was there for us every step of the way.

We were very happy our photos taken by Claire Britt at Rick Aguilar Studios. Claire's laid back nature made her easy to work with for our engagement and wedding photos. She also made sure she took all of the extra photos I had requested. I found the studio itself to be very responsive and helpful in working with our wants. We got our save the dates through them, which were great quality and reasonable in price. We also used the photo booth service which ran smoothly.

Simply stated, THE BEST. As an artist, Rick's work was breathtaking. His assistants in the office were wonderful in their communication and good taste and execution of Rick's work. If you are lucky enough to work with Rick and Bo, and have Eliisa to manage, enjoy! You are in for a wonderful experience.

Chicago-based wedding photographer Rick Aguilar and his team are extremely talented golden hearted photographers! On my wedding day, Rick and his two photographer assistants smiled, directed, laughed and snapped photos of EVERY moment of our wedding day with kindness and professionalism! They are extremely educated on the latest photographic style trends, equipment, special effects, and they always know their way around a venue for the best possible angles. Rick is a very popular photographer and has great relationships with many wedding planners, venues, makeup/hair artists and caterers. Being able to see him coordinate and associate so well with all of our vendors and our planner made for a fool-proof, perfect wedding day! We love Rick!

I am truly blessed to have met and worked with Rick, Eliisa and the entire team at Rick Aguilar Studios. My wedding planner - Anthony at Liven It Up Events - matched me well with Rick and said we would be like peanut butter and jelly. Well what a great sandwich we made! I have never worked with such an amazing professional before who knew exactly what to do in every situation to make anyone he photographed feel cool and calm but also excited to be "under the lense". Rick has worked with such an array of different personalities and people like Mayor Daley, Reality Show stars and more. Nothing surprises him and with every click of the camera you can tell he truly adores what he does. He made each and every family member feel as special as the bride and groom - which was important for me to see. He also has an eye for what will and will not work and guides you into just the perfect pose possible. Ladies - he IS the second most important man to have at your wedding! Thank you Rick for well............being you :).

Rick himself, along with Clare Britt, captured our wedding day perfectly! They were an amazing team, patient with us, seeming to genuinely enjoy every minute and putting us at ease every step of the way. It was truly like they were an extension of the bridal party/family - they were so natural and behind the scenes, capturing those candid moments so effortlessly!! AMAZING!!! The only thing I wish is that we had more time with them!!
