Last night we had THE BEST night celebrating @savannahkelly_ and @demock27... @philipgabrielphotography - I haven't seen our pictures yet but this team - OMG - I can't even begin to say how great they were. Gabe's (photographer) assistant Virginia went above and beyond to make sure Savannah's every need was met - she took care of things that had nothing to do with photography, but everything to do with customer service. She even sewed Savannahs dress strap when it snapped just moments before the ceremony. 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... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have tears in my eyes just thinking about how lucky we were to work with all of you.

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.
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!

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.

If you're looking for a great photographer, Gabriel Fredericks is the team! Their work is truly exceptional and captures the essence of every moment. Their attention to detail and artistic eye are unmatched, resulting in stunning photos that will leave you in awe. Everyone on Gabe's team is a pleasure to work with, making the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. We've worked with them on stills, product shots, action, video, and events. They do it all. I highly recommend!

Philip Gabriel Photography was fantastic to work with! They are very professional and have great attention to detail. They did the photography for our wedding and Gabe, Sean, and Kate were all wonderful. They set up a beautifully coordinated first look for us, made sure we got all of the shots we were looking for, and were always in position to capture the candid moments! Gabe even went as far as laying down in a puddle to capture a shot at the angle he wanted! Highly recommend!

My mother and I just bawled through these photos! Honestly your talent is beyond. These are so incredibly precious.
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!!

Gabe and his team are the absolute best. We used Philip Gabriel Photography for our micro wedding in 2020 and our round two wedding, and to say we were so happy with the experience on both occasions is an understatement. Gabe is full of laughs and fun and had us enjoying every moment of first look moments, family pictures, and reception photo moments. We could not have found a better team, and plan to use Philip Gabriel Photography for every life moment moving forward.
Philip Gabriel Photography shot my wedding and did a truly FABULOUS job. I loved working with Gabe (2) and the whole team. They were timely, professional and kept us laughing and entertained all night. They were on board with all our requests and were fully prepared to take all the pictures needed. There was no limit on the pictures and they were delivered on both a USB and online site. My family loved looking through the pics and loved how they turned out.

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!

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.

I've had the pleasure of not only working side by side with Gabe and his team for 20 years but also was a client of Philip Gabriel Photography. Gabe and his team are THE BEST to work with in the tri-state area. Incredibly fun, inspiring, creative and thoughtful with every shot they take! I'm always brilliantly amazed of our wonderful they are to work with!

As always, what a pleasure to work with such a professional and talented team. Thank you for your support of our recent events. Looking forward to the next opportunity!

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.

Over one month later, and we still cannot stop talking about Gabe and Julia and how much they made a difference throughout the entirety of our wedding day! Immediately, you can tell how professional they are and that they are clearly experienced. Once we got comfortable with each other, they made this very anxious bride feel completely taken care of. We drove around the city with them where they were committed to every part of the experience my husband and I were looking for. Even during chaotic full family photos, Gabe and Julia stayed organized, on task, and professional. My (not engaged) sister looked at me during those photos and said "I found my wedding photographer". Getting fantastic photos is a huge part of your wedding experience and by choosing this team you are definitely going to receive that along with positive memories of the entire Day!

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.

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.
