Photos By Rick

At Photos by Rick & Associates, we believe that every moment deserves to be captured and cherished. Our commitment to excellence in photography has led us to establish ourselves as one of the most trusted and respected photography studios in the Chicago area and Northwest Indiana.

Rick Butkus, the founder and owner, has been serving the community for over 35 years. His passion for photography was ignited when he realized that his own wedding photos were not up to his expectations. He decided to take matters into his own hands and founded Photos by Rick & Associates with a simple goal: to ensure that every bride and groom has beautiful, lasting memories of their special day.

Over the years, our studio has evolved and expanded to cater to the diverse needs of our clients. We now offer a wide range of services including wedding photography, engagement sessions, wedding portraits, family portraits, commercial photography, and more.

Our approach to wedding photography is unique and personalized. We understand that each wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and we make it our mission to capture every detail, every emotion, and every moment of joy. We offer on-location sessions, modern, industrial, traditional, or vintage settings, and even the option to include our MrFotoBooth for an added touch of fun.

In addition to our wedding services, we also provide high-quality portraits for individuals, families, and groups. Whether it's a family reunion, a graduation, or a simple keepsake, we guarantee that our portraits will exceed your expectations.

Our commercial photography services are designed to meet the needs of businesses looking to enhance their online presence, marketing materials, or display visuals. With our expertise in lighting, composition, and storytelling, we can help you create stunning images that reflect your brand's image and values.

At Photos by Rick & Associates, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional service, unparalleled quality, and unforgettable memories. We believe that for every moment, there should be an image - an image that tells a story, evokes emotion, and captures the essence of life.
