My Valley Forge Story: Jenna and Justin

The happy couple!

NPS/Jenna&Justin

Valley Forge will always be part of our love story. On our second date we met near the Visitor Center and walked through the park. That day, we had such good conversation that we immediately knew we wanted a third date.

This past Memorial Day weekend we returned—despite the rain cutting our first walk short, we couldn’t resist coming back the very next day.

When it came time for our engagement photos, we knew there was no better backdrop than Valley Forge. We wandered all over the park with our photographer, capturing so many special moments, and we especially love that the National Memorial Arch appears in some of our photos.

Living just down the road in Conshohocken, Valley Forge has become woven into both our everyday lives and our biggest milestones, and we’ll always treasure it as the place that has witnessed our love grow.

A kiss in the Grand Parade!
