Project Overview
Philadelphia photography studio Philip Gabriel Photography came to Blinebury Design with a challenge that faces many photo studios: Create a website that features various types of photography for a wide range of potential clients, and do it seamlessly.
Studio owner (and fellow Tyler School of Art ’04 alum) Gabe Fredericks hired Blinebury Design to create a new look to compliment his spectacular images that range from wedding photography and portraiture to food and lifestyle photography. The result is a highly functional website with three unique portals for visitors to choose their interests without being distracted by other photography types.
Fully Responsive, Fully Customized
There are a lot of template sites out there and plenty that cater specifically to photographers. From Gabe’s own words on the project, “We were in need of a new state-of-the-art and custom website. We wanted something unique, a site that didn’t look like any other.” A custom website like the one designed and developed for Philip Gabriel Photography is completely unique, down to the smallest detail.
Custom Image Gallery
A key element to the project was the development of a custom gallery system that could present hundreds of images in an effortless slideshow and work the same from desktop to mobile. We chose a thumbnail-style slideshow for the individual image galleries to present an overview of the entire wedding or gallery of images. While there are highlight slideshows for each main section, the story is really told in individual image galleries in which a user can get an immediate glance of all images.
Beautiful Blog
No photography website would be complete without a gorgeous blog to accompany the primary image galleries. Hundreds of stories are told by the team at Philip Gabriel Photography. They love to offer details on the incredible events they capture, and the wonderful couples and families they encounter in their journey. The photography blog showcases the most recent post with an extra wide image feature to grab the attention of potential clients.
We receive rave reviews from our clients about the site’s design and the ease of navigation. Our perspective clients feel that the quality of the site is a direct reflection of the quality of our work!
