- BBryce Noone13/05/2024A stunning venue!A stunning venue!A stunning venue! As a wedding photographer who has photographed numerous weddings at Peterson, it is always exciting to be back. The chapel is the perfect ceremony or reception space. The sandstone, the light that floods into the chapel, with even the most minimal styling this place is absolutely gorgeous. The property is epic, the vineyard, gardens, many nooks & hidden photo opportunities allow for a diverse collection of photographs for any couple looking to get married there. A stunning venue!
