  • 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!

  • 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!

    Thank you so much for sharing these photos with us. It was fun to relive this beautiful event at the PMA. You are a fabulous photographer. Your beautiful photos will be helpful for me to show images of holiday décor to prospective clients.

  • 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.

    The whole team was such a pleasure to work with. I feel like we had THE BEST TEAM EVER!!!! We can not thank you enough for making the night absolutely perfect.

  • Gabe is an awesome fun guy, he made us laugh the whole time. I never thought how important it is for a photographer to have a wonderful and friendly personality until we had such a great time during our photoshoot. I chose him because he is the best in the area, no doubt, pictures came out wonderful and I knew they will be (I did research plus I also do little photography myself) but the bonus of having relaxed fun instead of concentrating was unexpected and very much appreciated.

    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!

  • If we could give more than 5 stars we would. He and his team are simply the best!! This is the second time we have used Philip Gabriel for a wedding for our daughters. He captures the essence of a couple. His photos are beautiful and as unique as each couple. It’s not only the quality of his work though, he has such a fun calming presence and makes the day enjoyable. When there was a flood the week before our daughter’s wedding where they planned on taking pics, he took the time to drive out to the venue and regroup. As always, the pictures are gorgeous and we couldn’t be happier with the photos that capture their joy! Thanks Gabe and team!!

  • I had the pleasure of working with Gabe for a family photo shoot this past week. At first I wasn't sure how my introverted family was going to act in front of the camera, but from minute one my mother, father, sister, and wife felt very comfortable. At one point I saw my 58 year old dad doing a "tiger" face as if he were a male model. Regardless to say the preview pictures I saw were amazing, but the experience of working with Gabe was not only fun; it was an experience my family will remember for a long time. Thanks Gabe and the team for creating that moment that we will look back on for years to come.

  • We highly recommend Philip Gabriel Photography. Gabe captured our wedding day perfectly, got amazing shots of us and friends and family, and captured beautiful scenes of our venue so that we have memories to last forever. Gabe, Nick, Shane, and Michel were also so much fun to spend the day with. Thank you Philip Gabriel photography!

    I'm generally an anxious picture-taker and you guys made this whole thing so easy and fun!!

  • 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.
