Associate Photography

Rick Aguilar Studios Associate Photographers are an essential part of the studio. Associates are hand-picked by Rick Aguilar because he trusts their skills, personality and passion for weddings. Our Associates will create beautiful wedding photographs for you. Plus, their packages offer an alternative when price and Rick’s availability are a factor. In addition, you will receive the quality products and services that the studio is known for.

Unlike budget photography studios, you will get to know and meet your Associate photographer. In return, our Associates want to get to know you and your wedding story. Our Associate Clare is a wonderful example of that.

Her journalistic approach to wedding photography captures the heart and emotion of your wedding day. She understands how important it is for you to experience your first day as a married couple. From getting ready with friends to the energy of everyone dancing at your reception, Clare and our Associates will capture it all.

Associate photographers will add to the fun of your wedding day. With minimal disruption, we artfully capture your dream wedding photographs. Because of years of experience, we know the techniques for creative composition and lighting. Our team will work together to create your signature images and tell the story of your wedding.
