Meet Gabe F.
Gabe Fredericks loves the versatility of photography. On one hand, he is able to capture a compelling moment in time while simply being a witness to it. On the other, he can create an image from scratch by lighting, styling, building a set and collaborating with others.
His interest in art began with painting and drawing and quickly transformed into photography after he took a darkroom class in college. He dual-majored in Fine Arts and Photography at Temple’s Tyler School of Art and is grateful to have learned the foundations of photography using film and darkrooms just prior to the switch to digital. Gabe absolutely loves being a photographer and business owner - for him, going to work doesn’t feel like work at all!
Gabe loves spending as much time as he can with his amazing wife Dawn and their three kiddos: Riley his 15 year old daughter, Mason his 12 year old son and Stogie his Newfoundland puppy. They love taking road trips, snowboarding, fishing, hunting and cheering each other on at the other’s sports games. If there is ever a moment to chill out, you can find them watching series like Yellowstone, Tulsa King, Outer Banks and Cobra Kai.
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.
