Your Ceremony

Your ceremony is more than an event – it’s the heart of your wedding day, where promises are made and families unite. Whether you’re exchanging vows in a historic Chicago cathedral, an elegant hotel ballroom, or the city’s newest industrial-chic venue, Rick Aguilar Studios brings two decades of expertise to your most treasured moments.

We understand that every faith, culture, and couple has unique traditions that deserve to be honored. From Catholic masses to Jewish ceremonies, intimate civil services to grand cultural celebrations, we capture each ritual with respect and artistic vision. Our team masters the delicate balance of being present for every meaningful moment while remaining virtually invisible to you and your guests.

From the first step down the aisle to the kiss at the end of the ceremony, Rick and his team will use the right equipment to capture the moment. Long lenses, tripods, minimal flash photography. All of these things make a difference for beautiful, dramatic photographs. We always speak with your officiant so your wedding ceremony runs smoothly. We want to be ready for the blessings, your ketubah signing, or sentimental readings that make your ceremony unique.
