Hi, I'm Andy, owner and photographer at Ten Acres Agency here in Melbourne. Over the years I've photographed weddings on beaches, in vineyards, in old churches and in backyards, but every so often a venue comes along that genuinely stops me in my tracks. Petra Estate, on the Greek island of Paros, is one of those places. I wanted to write about it properly, not just as a photographer chasing good light (although there is plenty of that), but as someone who thinks it deserves a proper introduction for any couple dreaming of a destination wedding.

But every so often, a venue stops me in my tracks — and Redleaf Estate Wollombi is absolutely one of those places.
