  • I've had the pleasure of working with the folks at Philip Gabriel Photography 20+ times as both a vendor partner working on the same event and as a client. They are my #1 recommended photography company whenever someone asks for suggestions, and they never disappoint! Beautiful photography, great customer service, and all around wonderful people to work with.

  • I can’t recommend Philip Gabriel Photography enough. Gabe, Sean, and Lia are true professionals and we had such a great time with them at our Philly wedding. We knew that we wanted to book them as soon as we saw their photos. From the first consultation to the actual wedding day there was consistent communication to ensure every detail and timeline was taken care of. Gabe is very familiar with our venue and knew all of the best surrounding areas for pictures, making that process effortless. We had asked for several rounds of larger family shots and Gabe was so accommodating and kept everyone comfortable and laughing. The team blended right in throughout the whole day and went out of their way to get the best shots. The attention to detail was incredible and the team was always on top of timing to make sure the day stayed on track. They made the entire day so easy and I can’t thank Gabe and team enough for the beautiful pictures and memories!

  • PG did an amazing job of wrangling two children and a dog for an adorable Holiday portrait. The background was gorgeous and it was hard to choose the photos that we liked the most. I’m thrilled to have such a professional studio so close to home.

  • MVP of our wedding??? Despite the bride and groom bringing their A game, Gabe’s performance was exquisite. Meticulous, organized, creative and charismatic throughout, Gabe and his team did such a beautiful job capturing our big day and making it that much more special. All the while doing it with a smile, getting his hands (and body, literally, this guy was facedown on the Philly streets in order to get the perfect lighting and angles) dirty, and cracking up everyone along the way. Gabe’s work is brilliant and his personality is infectious. His team (Virginia and Phil) also were all-stars, assisting with ANYTHING (the veil, train, suspenders, etc.) and ensuring we got the exact other shots. In closing, the pictures are dreamy, more than we could’ve asked for or imagined, and we’ll be using Phillip Gabriel photography for years to come.

  • Fantastic team! Beautiful food and product photography.

    - Amber R.

  • The photos look WONDERFUL! You did such an amazing job; neither Laura Jean nor I can believe how happy Nicholas in particular looks, given his behavior the day of. Not going to lie, when you said you thought you had the shot, I was a bit dubious because I didn't ever recall him stopping fussing. Thank you so much!

    - Laura Jean & Nick W.

  • I could not have asked for a better photography team. Gabe listened to everything I wanted and gave suggestions when needed. Everyone was so great dealing with all of the different personalities in the family and they were all so fun to work with! Could not rant enough!!

  • Philip Gabriel Photography is the best, every single person that I have had the pleasure to work with has been wonderful. We used them for engagement, wedding and fall photos as a family of three and each time was a great experience. They are professional, fun, down to earth and most importantly they capture perfect in the moment photos. I am absolutely a client for life!

    Highly recommend! Philip Gabriel Photography was wonderful to work with every step of the way! Gabe, Sean, and Kate were so professional and detail-oriented. They were flexible and optimistic about the rain on our wedding day and came prepared with umbrellas and so many ideas for photos. Dawn and Julia kindly answered all of our questions leading up to the day!

  • 2020 has been a really tough year. Easily the biggest highlight for us was our wedding which just preceded the onset of the COVID pandemic. And we will be eternally thankful to Gabe “G2” Cariola and the entire Philip Gabriel Photography team for the huge role they played in making our day so special. Gabe immediately put us at ease. We did an engagement shoot with him 9 Months before the wedding and it was a great warm up for the main event. For those of you who are a bit shy in front of the camera, Gabe is so easy to work with and goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable. Our wedding was in January, and Gabe had the not so easy task of whisking us around Old City Philadelphia, trying to keep us warm and getting great shots—to say he and his second shooter succeeded is an understatement. You really feel special as multiple photographers, lighting specialists and others make sure your day goes perfectly. We’re not even sure how Gabe got some of the shots during the ceremony—he must have been hanging off the ceiling like Spiderman! He’s also got a great sense of humor and is a good sport, which is very important when you’ll be spending all day together and he has to put up with family members not always sticking to the meticulously planned out photo order! We were so happy with how the shots came out. We’re working with Nicole now on our album and can’t wait to see it. I know we’ll be coming back the next time we need lifetime memories. Thanks so much, Gabe! We will always be grateful.
