Beautiful photos and memories!

We are so thankful to have worked with Brad for my daughter's bat mitzvah! Because of Covid, the bat mitzvah was first postponed, then the venue was changed, and ultimately all the plans were changed and re-choreographed. Brad was there through it all! He was flexible, supportive and helpful at every step. He did an excellent job balancing safety protocols with getting all the family pictures we wanted. The pictures came out beautifully. He did such an amazing job capturing the joy of the moment (even when our faces were mostly covered by masks!). In addition, we have a son with autism and Brad did a fantastic job being patient and understanding of our family dynamic. We can't recommend him highly enough!

Bar Mitzvah Photography

We met Brad 17 years ago when he photographed our wedding. He left such an impression on us that, when it came time to find a photographer for our son’s Bar Mitzvah, we knew it had to be Brad. Brad is the definition of a pro. His knowledge of how Mitzvah’s flow, from the service to the party, was invaluable. He put all our guests at ease and captured every special moment beautifully. Looking forward to working with Brad again for our younger son’s Bar Mitzvah!

Absolutely amazing pictures taken by Brad

The pictures Brad took at our daughter's Bat Mitzvah were elegant and gorgeous. He truly has an excellent eye for capturing the best possible photos. He was extremely patient in taking pictures with our large family, especially the younger children. Brad made everyone feel like they were the star of the show when he was taking their photos. The party picture shots he took amazingly captured the event. We are so lucky to have hired Brad and we have memories of a lifetime to look back upon. We highly recommend his services and plan on using him for a few years for our youngest daughter's Bat Mitzvah.

A true professional with years of experience.

Brad is not only an exceptionally talented photographer, he is easy to work with, and offers fair pricing for high quality imagery. He works well with children and adults and his years of experience is obvious in the way he works. Feel confident that this photographer is getting the shots you want. Highly recommended.

The best in the world, not just Philadelphia

I have worked with many photographers through the years, no one compares to Brad Gellman. His work is the best out there, the guy should be working in Hollywood it is just that good. And it doesn't stop there, he's there to help before, during, and after. You can hire someone else but you aren't doing yourself justice. I would highly recommend him to anyone. If you want the best, call Brad Gellman before he is already booked. For our next celebration we will book based on Brad's availability only!

Great experience under the worst of conditions

Our event's date and venue both were rescheduled several times due to the virus, and Brad was super flexible with all the changes. The day of our outdoor event, it downpoured until an hour before we started! Brad rolled with the crazy punches and, with limited time, managed to wrangle us all together for beautiful portraits. The candid photos of the event were amazing and really captured the feelings we had. Would recommend Brad to anyone looking for a quality, talented and personable photographer!

Thrilled with Brad Gellman

Brad was the photographer for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah in October 2019. The pictures are beautiful! He did a wonderful job capturing the fun and joy of her special day. Brad is extremely accommodating, easy to work with and affordable. I am so thrilled that we chose Brad to capture this most memorable experience.

The best of the best

Our event occurred in the midst of the global pandemic- perhaps the most stressful circumstances one could imagine for an event. Brad was flexible, professional, and gracious throughout the process. Highly recommend!

Incredible photos that bring back happy memories!

Brad was a superb photographer for both my daughter and son's mitzvahs! He did an excellent job capturing the moment at both a day and evening event. He took his time to carefully craft the portrait shots in multiple settings and made sure to include all configurations of relatives, researching the family ahead of time. He is very versatile and took both black and white and color photographs which was an added bonus. He also made sure to capture the entire scene with all guests and the venue in a long shot, and all key entrances, dances, and the candle lighting ceremony. In addition, he took detailed shots of the table and room decorations, capturing the dynamic lighting. In sum, when I look at the pictures, I am immediately drawn back to the night of the event and happy times. Lastly, Brad is a pleasure to work with and the photo shoots went as smoothly as they possibly could. I will definitely use Brad again for my next event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
