I had an amazing photoshoot with Phil Kramer and his team. They were thoughtful, professional, and incorporated all of my ideas seamlessly. From start to finish, it was a first-class experience that exceeded my expectations. read more

Let's take a moment and talk about Mimi Janosy and Phil Kramer. It is a rare when you see how two artist bounce off each other in such a magical way. I have had the privilege of knowing Mimi since 1995 when she photographed my portrait for Business Philadelphia's 100 People to Watch issue. This was indeed a pleasure as I had been a reader of the magazine for years, and saw all the wonderful covers that she provided. Fast forward to present day, and I am the creator and one of the executive producers of an upcoming new television series that will bring on a weekly basis the greatest minds in our world together to discuss a specific topic each episode. But it is more than that; it will have an accompanying magazine, local events from coast to coast and an annual summit. When the question came up as to who should photograph all this, there could be but one answer, Mimi and Phil. I got to see them in action when we did a test shot to capture portraits of the chef and sommelier for the series. Mimi and Phil and Phil and Mimi were forces of nature, weaving in and out interchangeably making the shoot feel like a party, while capturing the emotions that we wanted. If I was blown away by what they did for Santa Claus that was nothing compared to the magic we watched them create. They are not only creative geniuses, and I do not use that word lightly, but the ultimate in professional. It is with great pride and admiration that we decided to work with them on our project and with that same sense of integrity and loyalty that I recommend them to you. Robert L.

I was extremely pleased with Mr. Kramer's creativity and expertise. He put together a magnificent album and portraits from our wedding. He is not the standard run of mill photographer, he can integrate and design each and every photo into a story conveying the ceremony in a beautiful way. Phil was highly recommended to me by a professional in the industry, so I completed trusted their judgement I would be happy to recommend Phil to any of my friends or family. I was not looking for a standard run of the mill photographer. I wanted something special and creative. read more

Phil is a true artist from start to finish. He really knows his way around a studio - from set up to lighting to getting the perfect shot then, an expert in editing after. His studio is conveniently located in Old City and is well equipped. read more

We have had the pleasure of doing a few photo shoots with Phil Kramer photographers and they have been outstanding. Very professional and great results each time. Highly recommend! read more

I absolutely loved my photos from not only my proposal and engagement but my WEDDING DAY as well. I can't speak highly enough about the quality of these photos. They captured precious moments with great detail. Phil Kramer allowed all of my "Pinterest Dreams" come true while adding some of his own creative imagination! My fiance and I decided on a "Date Night" photo theme in Cape May NJ for our engagement session. We started on the beach and worked out way through the little town and ended with ice cream - all while being photographed! I know "date" photos are a new trend, so if you're looking for this type of shoot or any for that matter, Phil Kramer should be your number one pick! Our wedding photos turned out stunning! He captured all the important moments without getting in the way! At the end of our ceremony he got in a ladder to get an aerial shot of our entire ceremony guest included! Came out amazing! We did a first look so we didn't feel rushed and pulled away from our reception and I would recommend that to everyone! We were given ample time, not rushed whatsoever. In addition, Phil made us very comfortable! Choose Phil you won't regret it! read more

Phil Kramer photography - they will take your money and never send you your albums and then they will stop returning your calls and emails. The only way I would recommend this photographer is if you want to spend time and money on lawyers. There are too many photographers out there to choose from so why go this route?! read more

We hired Phil for our Wedding in November 2014 in the City. We met him in person 6 weeks before the event and discussed what we wanted or better asked him for help to make our Wedding photos special and different. He came up with some great ideas and we trusted him in all his recommendations. We are more than happy about that decision. We drove through Philadelphia City and he picked the BEST places for our wedding album which receives compliments whereever we bring it. The day itself with Phil was a lot of fun and what he made out of our special day are the greatest memories. The photos are over the top, 1st class. If you look for a PROFESSIONAL photographer stop looking - he is the one. read more

My husband & I hired Phil Kramer for our July 4th wedding. He was absolutely amazing! He was so professional & had such amazing photo ideas for our wedding photos that went along with our wedding theme. We received our wedding photos within 2-3 weeks of our wedding, unlike what I've heard of many other people waiting 2+ months. He always answered our questions timely & was incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend Phil for any event & plan to utilize his services in the future. read more

We had Phil provide the photography services for the wedding of our son and daughter-in-law on August 12, 2017. When we entered into Phil's world it became clearly evident that he was at another level. His experience, courteousness, and professionalism were as expected. What was not expected was the artistic expression of our special day to be at such a personal and unique level, not just another "cookie cutter" wedding of typical and expected images. Phil and his associates went completely out of their way to scout our venue for photo opportunities that were not handed to them on a "silver platter", never settling for the easy sets, that would have been very easy to do on such a hot and humid afternoon. In one example, Phil wanted to get a Bridal party photograph of the entry doorway (outdoor wedding), he looked around, found a 12 foot construction ladder on the premises, proceeded to set it up, climb up to achieve the perspective that he had envisioned for that particular image. That was one of many such examples of his tireless and infectious energy to make our special day...well...extremely SPECIAL. read more

I used Phil based on a friends recommendation for my wedding. He was by far the most expensive photographer we got a quote from, but based on the recommendation we went with him. The day of the wedding went fine. He took a lot of pictures. Since then, it has taken us an enormous amount of time end effort to get responses to our emails and phone calls, or to find people that work for him any more. It has been almost 5 years and and we do not have our album yet. When we call or email and chase them on this, it is as if we are bothering them, their attitude is terrible. If I could go back in time I would have used someone else, save half the money and certainly have gotten better service. You would think for the amount we paid, they would be polite and prompt in getting back to you. read more

This is my first yelp review. I hired Phil for our wedding. I should have known when I planned my wedding in six months that having a photographer still available for my New Year's Eve wedding with very little notice should have been a tip-off. Many of the best vendors were already taken. He has a very modern style of photography and I liked the examples he showed us of the types of photos he took. He was very nice in the interview, and my mother and I agreed that stylistically he was the front runner. He was VERY expensive. He did take some great photos, however I would say that only a handful of them were really wow-worthy. But even worse, his customer service is ATROCIOUS. Phil almost never responds to emails and it took my family nearly TWO YEARS to get their albums. My in-laws and mother reached out to him ad nauseam and were often met with complete radio silence. Even today, I am trying to submit some of my wedding photos to wedding blogs--great publicity for HIM!--and I can't even get in touch with him to provide some of the needed proofs. Disappointing and frustrating. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Phil Kramer for our wedding on 7/18/15. He and his assistant were absolutely wonderful! Phil had actually scouted locations near my wedding and after our first look was captured on film we went off on an adventure throughout the town. Phil and Gate captured so many amazing shots and they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The humidity on our wedding day was at 90% but that did not stop them from coming up with one creative idea after another. They were both so professional, courteous and even eager to venture out into tall grass to capture classic and unforgettable moments of our special day. Phil has been extremely responsive and has already sent us small files to share on social media! Considering how many photos he took during our wedding I was rather impressed with his turnaround time! I would highly recommend Phil Kramer Photographers to my friends and family. read more
