A LOVE LETTER TO THE PHOENIXVILLE FOUNDRY
Phoenixville Foundry is one of Fox & Brazen's top five favorite venues in the Philadelphia area #truestory. As wedding photographers, we cannot get enough of this magical playground of magnificent backgrounds and spaces.
The Phoenixville Foundry is where old-world character and new-age sophistication get married, and we are here for it. This 18,000-square-foot landmark is a photographer's dream, offering a stunning backdrop that honors Phoenixville's triumphant past while celebrating new beginnings. Every inch of this space, from its towering steel structures to its polished floors, provides an opportunity to create bold, unforgettable wedding photos.
18,000 SQUARE FEET OF HISTORY
SPACES THAT INSPIRE BREATHTAKING MOMENTS
Whether you're saying "I do" under the soaring ceilings of the Cupola Ballroom or sharing a quiet moment in the serene Sculpture Garden, the Foundry offers a canvas for every part of your love story. The interplay of light through the massive clerestory windows creates a magical atmosphere that is simply unmatched. We adore this venue and would be thrilled to capture your story within its historic walls.
If you're looking for a venue that perfectly blends industrial history with modern elegance, look no further than the Phoenixville Foundry. It's no secret that we're completely obsessed with this place.
Behind the Scenes
No matter the vision of the client, the Phoenixville Foundry can transform itself to support the couple. The easy-going staff is wonderful to work with and is super helpful with any and all ideas we had to create beautiful photos!
Where do we start with our obsession with the Foundry in Phoenixville? The chandeliers are a photographer's dream - we're always trying to create a fun image with the beautiful drippy columns of light as a background. One of our favorite photos of all time created at the Phoenixville Foundry, the 1920s bridesmaids, was photographed in this exact spot!
The green doors and the giant windows in the courtyard always make a great spot for first looks, large group photos, or just a great simple contrast against the traditional black and white wedding attire. It's also a quick hop, skip, and a jump to the wooden bridge for some truly epic column truss bridge photos.
One of Fox & Brazen's absolute favorite parts of the Phoenixville Foundry is how dog-friendly their outside area is! We obviously have an affinity for dogs and it's great that you can bring your furry friend for your portrait session with so many wonderful backdrops available for photos. If you have an outdoor ceremony - your pup could also walk you down the aisle!
Located just a hop, skip, and a jump from our studio on Bridge Street, the Foundry isn't just a venue; it's a Chester County treasure and a cornerstone of our favorite little town.
Travis STITT // FOX & BRAZEN
With multiple levels, rooms, and the incredible chandeliers, the venue is a visual wonderland. Also being located in Phoenixville, you have access to a huge number of photography locations. From Valley Forge, to the street of Phoenixville, we can create a wide range of images.

JEN'S TIP // GO ALL IN ON YOUR THEME
We're super proud to brag that one of the weddings we photographed here was featured on Today.com! The 1920s made a special appearance for Brittany and Michael's wedding day: the ladies got dolled up in true 1920s style, Brittany designed and crafted her own headpiece, and guests who forgot to come in costume were handed strings of pearls and red carnations. It was certainly a night to remember!

JEN'S TIP // GIVE YOUR PUP A JOB
Meet Winston, the official happy hour greeter! Dressed in his very own tux, he stationed himself outside and said hello to every single guest who walked through the front door. Honestly, he worked the room better than anyone. A pup with a job and a tux? That's our kind of wedding.

JEN'S TIP // LOOK AT EACH OTHER, NOT THE CROWD
First dances at the Foundry are my cardio. I'm running up and down the stairs to make sure that moment is captured dramatically, surrounded by all your people, with a specialty lens. No one sees this view until I deliver your photos. It's such a cool vantage point, knowing I'm the only one experiencing it in the moment.

JEN'S TIP // EVERY LOVE STORY DESERVES TO BE TOLD
Our first wedding during COVID was held outside on the Foundry patio with just five people. Their families couldn't attend, but we could, and we photographed it all, from the patio to all throughout Phoenixville. Their loved ones watched on Zoom and called it "the best Zoom wedding ever." This image went on to win an award in an international photography competition!

JEN'S TIP // SAVE 15 MINUTES FOR GOLDEN HOUR
The way the light just kisses our couples in a golden glow during the winter months is pure magic. With the Gay Street Bridge softly out of focus in the background, Travis could photograph here for every breathtaking moment of golden hour. It's on his must-do list for every Foundry wedding.
