    The best in the business!

    The Philip Gabriel team is truly the best. They shot both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day, and we had the best time working with them. At our rehearsal dinner, Gabe managed to get great shots in a small space with less than ideal lighting. And on our wedding day, Gabe Frederick and his entire team were simply spectacular. They were so much fun and so easy to work with. They captured every single detail, and went with the flow of everything. It was a pretty cold day, and Gabe managed to shoot the outdoor photos efficiently while maintaining the highest quality to ensure we did not get too cold. He was flexible with our large family photographs...

    Dreamy, Best in the Biz

    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,...

    Wonderful team to work with!

    My husband and I cannot recommend Philip Gabriel Photography enough! This company is organized, responsive and made wedding day photography run smoothly AND on time! When we didn't have a location in mind for bridal party photos, they had wonderful suggestions for outdoor photograph locations near our venue that worked perfectly. This crew is friendly, fun, professional and goes to incredible lengths to capture the the most special and memorable shots.

    Bellevue Hotel and Grand Ballroom

    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 bridesmaids and Dad's first looks to the gently falling snow as we rang in the new year at midnight. Susan's kind attention to the bride and groom is something every mother could hope for. 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.

    Philip Gabriel - The best photographer in Philly!

    Philip Gabriel was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From start to finish (including a postponement) they made everything seamless and were so incredibly accommodating. In addition to being amazing to work with, we are blown away by our pictures from both our engagement session and wedding. I highly recommend Philip Gabriel!

    This team is MUST HIRE! Amazing.

    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...

    Best of the best!!

    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.

    Wonderful!

    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!

    The Best of the Best

    We chose Philip Gabriel Photography for our wedding on July 6, 2019. We didn't even bother looking at anyone else, honestly. Gabe and his team shot my sister's wedding 2 years prior and their talent, professionalism, and product all blew us away! The whole team is very helpful and responsive. The planning process was easy with them, and then of course the day of the wedding - the best! They know all the best spots in the city and despite fighting off some downpours, thunder & lightning, and even a tornado warning (!), everything turned out AMAZING! Gabe even stopped traffic on Broad Street to capture some awesome shots! We could not be happier with our pictures, and it...

    Gabe is your Guy!!!

    From the moment I met Gabe I knew we were in good hands for our son’s wedding. One of our gifts to our son and his new wife was the gift of their wedding album. I’m writing this the day after the wedding so we haven’t even received any pictures yet. Another review to follow I’m sure. I just want to say that Gabe and his team were incredible. They are truly amazing and personable. By the end of the night I felt like they were a part of the family. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They captured moments that I know we will cherish for a lifetime. We cannot wait to see the pictures and revisit a very special day for our family. Thank you to Philip Gabriel Photography! Simply the BEST!!!

    Perfect, couldn’t have been better!!

    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!!

    Best choice i made!

    I could write a whole novel about how happy I am to have worked with the Philip Gabriel team for my wedding photos. Philip Gabriel is really the best in Philly. On my wedding day I had the pleasure of working with Gabe (G2), Lauren, and Heather. They were fantastic and I can't thank them enough. When I felt nauseous they gave me their water and food. They were always thinking of us and made us all feel so comfortable. They are all so talented, thoughtful, and warm. They also made the day of photos so much fun! I couldn't have made a better choice!! They truly went above and beyond. We received preview images and they are OUTSTANDING. I can't stop gushing over them. Can't wait to see the rest!!!

    A Dedicated Photographer who made the day fun and easy

    We worked with Philip Gabriel for our Philadelphia wedding on October 13th, 2018. The process for working with PG was very easy, from our initial meeting with Gabe Cariola (G2) through the contracting and package selection process, through to the big day. About four weeks out from the big day, we had a call with Gabe to discuss our timeline, beginning at the Logan Hotel, with first look at Logan Circle, a trolley pickup, more pics at the Barnes Museum and Rodin Museum, then transportation to Tendenza for the main event. Gabe, the secondary shooter Jeff, and their assistant did an awesome job directing us enough to get the shots that would looks great without making the process seem...

    You can stop looking for your photographer now because Gabe and his team are literally the best. First of all, I'm one to do a TON of research on everything and anything before I book/buy and second, I never write reviews - so enough said. I didn't believe it when Gabe told me he would make my very unphotogenic husband and I look good - well, he was right. The photos turned out AMAZING - and my friends and family won't stop raving as well. The team is so professional, so creative, so helpful, really just all around fantastic. You won't regret it - book them ASAP!

    Philip Gabriel is the BEST!!

    If you are looking for an incredible photographer, Philip Gabriel is your Team! They shot our wedding and I could not be more grateful for how fun, energetic, and organized they were on the day of the wedding. Wedding days can be crazy, but Gabe and his team had a calm yet efficient presence that allowed the day to go as smoothly as possible while also capturing the most memorable moments. We were blessed to have the opportunity to work with them and hope to work again with them sometime in the future. Thank you for making our Wedding Day one of the best days of our lives!

    Couldn't imagine booking with another photographer!

    We chose Philip Gabriel to photograph our wedding at the Franklin institute because their previous work had spoken so much about what they are capable of. From our first phone call, and up to our actual wedding they were the most compassionate and reliable vendor we had booked. They truly take the time to get to know you and what's important to you so that they can get the most perfect pictures. I can't imagine our wedding day without Gabe and his team. He really held us together, made sure everything went smoothly and it was perfect. They go above and beyond, you are not just getting photographers when you book Philip Gabriel you are getting photographers who know...

    Dedicated to going above and beyond

    Philip Gabriel had an incredible team to work with for our wedding. They went and above and beyond for every shot and we couldn’t be happier with the sneak peeks we’ve gotten. I don’t have a single regret choosing them and highly recommend them to anyone on the fence!

    Fantastic to Work With!

    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!

    absolute pleasure

    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.

    Truly the best at what they do

    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...

    Nothing short of amazing!

    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!

    Look Nowhere Else!

    If you need a photographer for literally anything you need to hire the Philip Gabriel team. We worked with Philip Gabriel for our engagement shoot and for our wedding. I knew we hired the A Team. Our photos are fabulous and the experience working with such a professional team was wonderful. Plus Gabe and his crew have the best sense of humor and fun that makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

    MUST HIRE! The best of the best

    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 wedding photographer, look no further!
