Over 35 years ago, Rick began his own photography studio after so many things went wrong at his own wedding. He knew he could do better for brides and grooms. His goal was to make sure that bride and groom were truly happy with the photo memories of one of the most important days of their lives. The business was built on the premise that satisfied customers would recommend Photos by Rick to families and friends. And they have, over and over!
The studio was started as a wedding and portrait studio, and over the years it has expanded and updated to meet the needs of all of his customers. In the area of weddings, he now helps make memories of proposals, engagements, showers, weddings, and anniversaries. Portraits include personal, family, groups, sports, schools, business, and graduation to name a few. Many on-location sessions continue to include First Communions, Confirmations, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, and Quinceañeras, just to name a few. Building on the success with individuals, Photos by Rick expanded to include commercial and industrial customers.
The professional photos can be tailored for documents, displays, web presence, or even billboards. Satisfying customers is still Rick’s primary goal. Through this diversification, Rick has become acutely attuned to what will best serve his customers. Photos By Rick is continually reinventing the world of photography.
Online ordering, journalistic photo books, traditional albums, black and white photography, off camera lighting are available. Photo sessions can be done in modern, industrial, traditional, or vintage settings. In addition, our MrFotoBooth can travel to weddings, parties, and other special events for those FUNtastic memories
We visited with a lot of photographers around the Chicago area but Photos By Rick is by far the best you're going to get. Don't pass this one up!

Rick has shot our family photos for years and I was thrilled that he was available to shoot my wedding. He is funny, talented, and patient.

They were clicking pictures all night. Lying on the ground, in the bushes, behind the scenes, they did it all!

Photos by Rick is an excellent choice for our company’s photo shoot. They were very professional and gave us all the information that we needed to prepare for the shoot.
They arrived on time and were very knowledgeable in giving directions for each of the photo displays we were shooting that day
