Le Chateau Wedding Photography & Videography
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
Le Chateau is a 1907 Tudor-style mansion of brick and stone on a hillside in South Salem, New York, commissioned by J.P. Morgan and designed by Atterbury & Atterbury. Move Mountains Co. photographed and filmed Michael + Kiara's August wedding here: an outdoor ceremony in the walled garden, portraits on the old stone steps, and a bright, packed reception.
A 1907 Tudor mansion in stone and chestnut
The estate is at 1410 Old Post Road (Route 35) in South Salem and hosts one event at a time on 25 acres. Inside are chestnut-paneled rooms, grand staircases and stone fireplaces; outside, stone walkways lead to the walled ceremony garden, and the secluded West Garden is set aside for first looks and portraits.
The Le Chateau team keeps a big day running beautifully, and we'd love to photograph many more weddings here.
