Genny + Matt : Washington Memorial Chapel Wedding in Valley Forge, PA and Normandy Farm Reception

January 14, 2014 by Jensey 9 Comments

Over two years ago, we photographed Gwen and Todd’s wedding at Walt Disney World. Gwen contacted us before the Christmas of 2012, and told us she wanted to give us as a Christmas / wedding gift for her newly engaged sister, Genny! We’d been counting the days to Genny’s wedding ever since, which took place in Valley Forge on the Fourth of July. :)

I think all wedding days should begin watching the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest. It’s the sort of thing that makes you feel simultaneously ashamed and queasy, but let’s admit it- Also a little bit proud to be an American.

Genny and Matt had a slideshow going on the dance floor showing photos tagged with their wedding Instagram hashtag! It was so fun to see everyone’s photos from that day, and especially exciting when our photos popped up. :)

Summer wedding season is in full swing, people! We’ve been adventuring in Castaway Cay, twice in Philadelphia in a month, and now we’re on our way to Canada. I’m excited to share some preview photos from our 4th of July wedding in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. If you haven’t taken a middle school history class in a few years and need a refresher, you can read more about its significance here. ;)

I seriously cannot wait to share more of these photos when we’re done because their ceremony location was amazing. Washington Memorial Chapel had such fun architecture to shoot with and its view overlooking Valley Forge was stunning!

We stopped briefly at the National Memorial Arch for bridal party photos, then it was on to Normandy Farm for their reception!
