Summer Wedding at Pleasantdale Chateau | Heather & Richard

Heather and Rich had an absolutely beautiful summer wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau. We always love going to the Pleasantdale- the food is great, the staff treats us like family and of course, the grounds are stunning. It was the first ceremony we photographed at their new ceremony space and we just loved the new areas for photos.

Pleasantdale Chateau Summertime Wedding

Heather and Rich are a no fuss couple that really spent their time focused on finally getting married and creating a new family. The highlight of the evening? Heather surprising Rich with the New Jersey Devil. Pretty sure that was his favorite part of the day haha! It was a blast and I love when couples get the chance to bring their personalities and interests to their big day!
