Meet Gabe C.
Gabe Cariola quickly gained the nickname G2 as a solution to the confusion brought on from having two Gabe’s around! G2 is inspired by all the different people he has the opportunity to meet as a photographer. While he is already keen to the way light falls on subjects, he enjoys the challenges of figuring out how he can think on his feet to find the best angles and conditions to photograph people in.
When he attended Temple’s Tyler School of Art, he majored in photography but also dabbled in glass blowing and ceramics. Nowadays, G2 likes to be outdoors fly fishing, hiking, and going to concerts in his free time. You’d be amazed by his massive record collection and his wide range of passions!
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.
