Filming & photographing at Pleasantdale Chateau
Not just how it looked — how it felt
Pleasantdale Chateau is a storybook Normandy-style estate in West Orange: walled gardens, a glass conservatory, and wood-paneled rooms that glow on camera. The estate hosts one wedding at a time, which makes it one of the most cinematic days in New Jersey to film. Watch Tali & Josh’s trailer below and you’ll see why.

Notes on Pleasantdale
The whole estate is yours
One wedding at a time means no rushing and no strangers in the background. We can roam the grounds for portraits without ever fighting a clock or a crowd.
The conservatory and gardens
Glass light in the conservatory, hedged walks and lawns outside: ceremony, cocktail hour, and golden-hour portraits each get their own world within the estate.
Interiors that glow
Wood paneling and candlelight are where our low-light cinematography earns its keep. Evening coverage here feels like a period film, in the best way.
