About Rico Marcelo

With a DSLR in hand since 2007, I turned my passion for photography into a thriving brand and business—Rico Marcelo Photography. What began as a hobby has evolved into a dynamic career that blends creativity with my love for hospitality.My diverse portfolio spans portraits, events, concerts, commercial clients, and travel photography, allowing me to adapt to any setting with ease. Beyond capturing stunning visuals, I take pride in building meaningful relationships with clients, ensuring every shoot is both a professional and personal experience.Photography isn’t just about the image—it’s about the connection, the moment, and the story behind it. My passion for the event industry seamlessly integrates with my work behind the lens, delivering not just photos, but lasting impressions.
