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, profession 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

Suntem foarte multumiți de calitatea pozelor, poze de nota 10. Colaborarea a fost unicată, o bună comunicare cu Gabriel Filip Photography. 😘🤗🌸 Vii recomand cu cea mai mare încredere!😘🌸

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!!

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!

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!

The team at Philip Gabriel is without a doubt the best in the region, if not the nation, if not the world.

Our photos are absolutely stunning!!! Gabe was a pleasure to work with- keeping us laughing and calm the whole time. I’d highly recommend

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!

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 setup 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!

Truly professional photographers. Brochures, head shots, events. Great studio separate from offices. 2nd generation

We got married on 12/3/2022. Gabe, Virginia, and Hank were our photographers and they were amazing. They captured everything from getting ready to the ceremony to the reception. They took photos of the tiny details, including our rings, my jewelry, the wedding invitation, our shoes, his cufflinks. The candid photos they took throughout the night were my favorite - so genuine. You can't go wrong with this company. They're worth every penny.

Philip Gabriel photography is the best of the best! They were so enjoyable to work with and the photos from our wedding were amazing!!!! Gabe Fredericks has the best personality, makes you feel so comfortable and guides you through every shoot! He is so creative and knows how to get the perfect photo. I high recommend Philip Gabriel photography to any couple getting married!!!!

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.

The selection of Philip Gabriel Photography crew, consisting of Gabe, Jeff and Lia, were the best choice and an incredible joy for us. They not only photographed and documented our event, but shared in the joy with us. They worked tirelessly and became friends in the process. Their resulting pictures produced magical works of art. We will have these memories forever thanks to their talent. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

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!

This team is 100000% worth it! My husband and I loved every second working with Gabe and the team from the moment we started screening potential vendors and our first consultation with Gabe. Gabe knew our venues, other teams we’d identified we’d like to work with, recommended (but never pushed) other vendors for us to work with, and overall was a pleasure. Just getting our sneak previews during our honeymoon (well before we expected any photos) and we already know the full set will be breathtaking. So happy with our choice, and I’m sure you will be too!

There is no other photography team that we would want documenting our wedding. The emotion of the day that Gabe and his team are able to capture in photos is just amazing. When you see your photos all the same happy feelings you felt on your big day will come rushing back so you can experience it all over again!

Gabe and his team are absolutely incredible! I cannot express how professional, talented and organized they are. Our original wedding date was 2/27/2021 but with covid we had to push our celebration back a year. Philip Gabriel Photography was so easy to work with and super understanding. They took the stress out of replanning a wedding! On our new wedding date 2/19/2022, Gabe and his team exceeded our expectations. They stayed perfectly on schedule and knew exactly where to shoot throughout the city. Gabe made everyone feel relaxed and we had a blast even with crazy cold and windy weather. The pictures are gorgeous! If you are looking for a photographer, look no further!

We were so fortunate to have Susan Beard and her team from Philip Gabriel photography photograph our daughter’s wedding. The pictures are breathtaking. They captured every moment from Dad’s first look to the gently falling snow as we rang in the new year. Weddings last only a day but these pictures will be treasured a lifetime. At the end of the night I was sad to see her go.

Gabe and Julia were the most perfect team to work with on our wedding day! Coming from a bride who was definitely anxious, they made sure everything ran smoothly and provided such a relaxed, professional environment. They were incredibly dedicated to get the perfect shot no matter the circumstance (Gabe laid down in the middle of the Broad Street divider in the middle of the rain). We truly could not have gotten luckier!

Philip Gabriel’s teamed photographed multiple events for us. From our engagement photos to both our wedding dates (thanks covid) and our daughters’ newborn photos. Every time they’ve delivered nothing but spectacular images. The whole Philip Gabriel team is terrific to work with. They bring a ton of energy to your event - they’re super professional - accommodating on every level. They always go that extra step to ensure they get that breathtaking shot. So it doesn’t matter what you are having photographed if you want someone who will exceed all your expectations, pick Philip Gabriel Photography!

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.

Absolutely amazing team! We've had multiple shoots with Gabe and he always makes you feel extremely comfortable in addition to being an absolutely amazing photographer. His entire team is very responsive and helpful when planning any events, keep things running smoothly and timely. Would recommend him to anyone for any picture needs!

Fantastic! Gabe is AMAZING!

Gabe and team did a phenomenal job - we couldn't recommend them more highly!! The team was amazing to work with from start to finish - very detail oriented in the planning process to establish our photo shot list and create a timeline for the day, but was also amazingly flexible on the day of when some rain derailed our original plans. Gabe C came up with a great back up plan for photos under cover during the rain and was able to sneak in more shots that we really wanted outside when the rain cleared later in the day - they all turned out beautifully! Gabe C was very fun to work with too and kept everyone laughing throughout the day. Thanks PG team!!

Gabe and his team were absolutely fantastic. They made the entire experience fun, seamless, and easy. From the planning down to the actual day, Gabe and his team nailed every aspect. The pictures are beautiful, my family and I couldn't be more please with the outcome. I am so happy we chose Philip Gabriel and their team for our special day. They truly are the best in the area! Thank you so much again.

Monica and Lauren were unbelievable photographers. They were personable, low-key, and had a great eye during the entire wedding day. They were both very familiar with our wedding venue and did an incredible job capturing candid moments as well as staged photos that were magazine worthy. We did a micro-wedding and they managed to capture every important moment throughout the day without us even knowing they were there! My husband and I were both blow away by how easy and enjoyable the day was, and much of it was due to their professionalism and good-natured personalities. Monica also did our engagement photos which turned out amazing as well! We will absolutely be using them in the future. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Gabe is a "10/10 would-recommend-must-hire" type of vendor. I mean this with sincerity: he completed our day. His photos are absolutely stunning and capture the most special moments. He makes you SO comfortable in front of the camera and the comfort level allows you to look your best and most real self in every photo. He brought so much fun to our day it was unimaginable. He made us laugh until we nearly cried, boosted our confidence for different poses, kept everything running smoothly and on time, and even went as far as to talk the Philadelphia police into a police escort for us to arrive at the reception on time when we got stuck in the middle of a protest. What photographer does that??!! The number of comments we received from guests about how much they loved our photographer during our wedding was absurd - he was engaging with all the guests and never sat still. Whether he was laying down on the street to get the best angle or sprinting over to a candid moment, he was on his game the entire time (as was the entire rest of his team!). He took the time to understand who our immediate family was so he could capture their best moments. He made our grandparents feel like movie stars, made us as the bride and groom feel relaxed and at ease, and captured all the best shots of all of our loved ones. I would highly recommend that anyone high Gabe and his team for their event. We can't say enough good things and can say with confidence that booking him was one of the best decisions we made through all of wedding planning.

Gabe and his team are the BEST! They made sure to get all of the special pictures that we wanted on our special day. They made everything from our engagement shoot to our wedding day so fun and exciting. We had a HUGE bridal party, and they somehow managed to round them up for group pictures and make things go smoothly. I can’t thank them enough for capturing the most beautiful pictures and memories on our wedding day!

Gabe and his amazing team made our wedding day so special from start to finish! Gabe is a family friend of my parents and extremely well known in the wedding scene throughout the Philadelphia and greater Philadelphia region. We knew right away we wanted to book Gabe and his team without a question. They did not disappoint. From the moment I met with Gabe, it was like we had known each other for years, and funny enough, he had taken photos of an event I worked a few years prior. My now husband and I performed aerial acts at the 21st street Armory and Gave had photos to show us! Small world. After sticking with us through 2 postponed wedding dates, our day finally arrived and it was a HOT one. 93 degrees to be exact. Gabe and his team did not complain once and did everything in their power to make sure they got the best shots. From Olivia pinning my veil in, to Gabe laying flat on the floor of the church and Broad Street, to helping wipe makeup off of my husbands jacket, they were just incredible. In moments where I could have panicked, they eased the mood with their calm presence and professionalism. We had a very large wedding party and with a large wedding party comes some chaos when trying to take photos. Gabe knew exactly what to do and where to position everyone in a timely manner (and how to get some boisterous groomsmen to cooperate ;)) His patience with us was amazing! From beginning to end, Gabe and his team were perfect. We recently got a sneak peak of our shots and I’m IN LOVE!! Cannot wait to see them all. All of the thanks and praise to Philip Gabriel Photography!! Book them now!

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.

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!

I am so happy with our experience. I have seen Gabe shoot so many beautiful weddings and now I got to experience it myself. Not only are the preview photos I’ve seen beautiful but they also help make the whole morning of the wedding run smoothly and are very good about timing. Can’t wait to see the rest of the photos!

Monica of Philip Gabriel Photography was absolutely wonderful! Her and her team were so easy to work with and took amazing pictures at my wedding! Monica was so sweet and wasn’t afraid to get down on the ground to get the right lighting for a shot. Philip Gabriel Photography is the best!

Gabe and his team are truly the best and we cannot recommend them enough if you want the most beautiful, flawless photographs of your wedding day! We discovered Gabe through one of my closest friends and since the moment we met him, his passion for the art of photography was evident. We scheduled our engagement photos with him and not only did we get gorgeous shots, we had the best time taking them! Even my husband enjoyed being photographed for an hour and we couldn’t stop laughing the whole time! On the day of the wedding, he made our bridal party feel so comfortable and confident and had us all laughing the entire time. We recently just received our preview from our wedding day and were truly blown away by Gabe’s artistic talent and the moments he captured. We have gotten the most compliments on these photographs and have had so many family and friends ask for his contact information! We know we will be using Philip Gabriel from now on for all of our future photography needs!

Do yourself a favor and HIRE PHILIP GABRIEL PHOTOGRAPHY!! The PGP team completely exceeded all of our expectations. During the planning process, we worked with Anya who was extremely knowledgeable and helped guide us on locations for photos, timeline, how to deal with unique family situations and more. The day of the wedding the team was amazing. We had Gabe, Phil and Anya on our photography team and they made the entire day fun for us - it's not always the most fun posing for pictures but the team was able to make it fun! It was so cool to see the PGP team look around and spot good areas for photos, and these impromptu locations ended up being the most amazing photos. This team is truly incredibly talented, I am beyond impressed. All of our guests commented on how fun and nice the photographers were - how often does that happen?! They never felt in the way or in your face, but continued to make the party fun as the did their job. I just received the preview photos and am blown away. They are the most incredible photos and left me speechless. These photos will last a lifetime and are worth every penny we paid! Thank you to the PGP team for the most amazing experience before, during and after!!

BEST photographers ever!!! Philip Gabriel Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. We live in NYC and got married in Philly. We didn’t get a chance to meet Gabe prior to our wedding day and we still immediately felt so comfortable and at ease working with Gabe and the rest of the team on our wedding day. They made everything flow so seamlessly. I trusted all of their photo suggestions and they truly took such great care of us. We just received our photo previews and they are beyond amazing. They captured all of the love that we felt on our wedding day. I can’t recommend them enough. Worth every penny!!!!!

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to Gabe's electric personality and ability to capture our true emotions and feelings on our wedding day - the photos speak for themselves - I couldn't be happier with our decision to book Philip Gabriel Photography for our wedding!

I had a phenomenal experience working with Philip Gabriel. We worked with Gabe Cariola and team. When we were choosing a photographer, we of course compared the quality and style of the portfolio. However, what I underestimated was how integral your photographer is to planning the day and ensuring the day runs smoothly and on time. Gabe and his team were amazing making sure everything ran smoothly. They were super fun to have around and made us feel really comfortable. While I have only seen our preview shots, I think their portfolio speaks for itself. It is a material investment, but worth it in my opinion. We were very happy with our decision.

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!

I could not have asked for a better photography team. Everything-from the beginning planning stages to the end of the wedding evening-was perfect and ran smoothly. 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! Gabe and team definitely helped make our day extra special and perfect. Could not rant enough!!

If you want to have a wedding day go perfect with regards to your wedding photos than hire Philip Gabriel. The team were perfect for my daughter and family. Professional, accommodating, funny, attentive and the pictures are beautiful. They exceeded our expectations and can't thank them enough for providing beautiful memories of a wonderful day!

Our wedding was 10/13/18, and wedding planning sure was stressful! The crew at Philip Gabriel made this whole process so much easier on me. The months leading up to the wedding I had been communicating with Anya a whole lot. She answered emails efficiently and called me to answer my questions. She put me at ease when I was feeling concerned about how the day would flow and assured me there was nothing to worry about. Well, she was right! These guys made my wedding day perfect! Gabe Fredericks guided us through Old City, Philadelphia, snapping photos of us in the most beautiful locations. The afternoon was seamless, and FUN! His sense of humor had us laughing the entire day. The crew made me and my husband, our bridal party and families feel comfortable throughout the day, as smiling for photos for hours can be strenuous, but the time passed by effortlessly. I just received all of my photos about a week ago. As if the day feeling perfect wasn't enough, these photos are absolutely magnificent. True pieces of art. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you guys for not just being wonderful photographers but also wedding planners, tour guides, and comedians to boot! We love Philip Gabriel!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Philip Gabriel Photography. We used them at our wedding on June 9, 2018 at the Crystal Tea Room we could not have asked for a better photography team! Gabe Fredericks and his entire team were absolutely AMAZING! They were all so much fun to be around and helped make the entire day go perfect. Anya was awesome and extremely responsive through the entire planning process and was so helpful throughout the entire wedding day as well! Gabe made sure to capture every moment of the day. He was lying down in the middle of the street getting the most incredible photos and we can’t thank them enough for capturing our special day. If they are available for your date, book them immediately! You will not regret it! I will definitely be using them in the future!

If I could give more than 5 stars for Philip Gabriel Photography, I would!! They were all so fun and easy to work with! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs professional photos! We genuinely laughed all day and they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Our whole bridal party had a blast taking pictures. I cannot wait to see the finished product :)

I used Philip Gabriel Photography for my wedding June 9th, 2018 at the Bellevue in Philadelphia. The specific photographer at my wedding was Gabe Cariola of the two Gabe's. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience from start to finish with the company, especially Anya, who was so incredibly helpful every step along the way. I would use them again 100x over, and will likely use them again in the future! They are honest, respond quickly, and were a pleasure to work with. I have not seen the images yet, but have no doubt that they will be incredible. They were great about making the timeline and giving guidance on where to take pictures with adjustments that day. Gabe was so professional and had the best sense of humor, making everyone (especially my mom who hates taking pictures) at ease throughout the day. He was quick and efficient. I had not met him before that day and he was quick on his toes about making good decisions about our timeline according to that day. If you want to have fun with professionals on your big day and be able to relax as well has have a company that communicates very well with you, don't hesitate to book them! You will not be disappointed!
