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!

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.

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.

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.
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!

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.

Yay!! Gosh, it is so gorgeous already!!! Thank you so much, Erin. You did a killer job of making all my tweaks!! I honestly think page 12 might be my favorite ever now (though it's honestly impossible to pick), thanks to your work. Thank you for being so incredible and patient. You and the team are the best in the business, truly. It means the world to us.

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

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.

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!

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.
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!

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!
Highly experienced, extremely knowledgeable, super friendly, great group of professionals.

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!
