Pleasantdale Chateau Wedding | Amanda & Michael

Wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau, New Jersey wedding photographer, J&R Photography

Amanda and Michael’s was our last Pleasantdale Chateau wedding for 2023. Being a spring time wedding, the grounds were in full bloom so we were so ready for a ton of outdoor photos. Mother nature being how she is, had different plans for us. Right during the first look it started to rain but luckily, there is no shortage of indoor locations to photograph at in Pleasantdale Chateau. Immediately following a ceremony adorned by beautiful cherry blossoms was a reception that rocked all night. The entire day was a celebration of life and love and we are so honored to be there to capture it for Amanda, Michael and their families.
