Sneak Peek! Trunkwell Mansion Wedding

Sneak Peek! A Wedding with a Difference!

On Saturday 14th July 2012 Sarah & Lee got married at the beautiful Trunkwell Mansion, Beech Hill, Reading.  Sarah looked absolutely stunning in her gorgeous wedding gown, the bridesmaids were radiant in raspberry coloured dresses and the Groom scrubbed up well too in his dashing grey suit!  Their handsome little son Harrison was beautifully behaved and definitely looked the part of Page Boy in his waistcoat and sat proudly in his co-ordinating highchair throughout the ceremony.

So, you may be asking “This all sounds lovely, but what was the difference you mentioned?”  Feast your eyes on these two! Charlie and Kenzo were the superstars of the day! Proudly walking down the aisle with their designated dog walkers, the two Staffordshire Bull Terriers too were also dressed for the occasion! Kenzo had a stunning bow-tie collar and Charlie her very own corsage!


So under the canopy of a huge white marquee, with two Bridesmaids, two Best Men, two Ushers, a Page Boy, their two Staffs, friends and family looking on, Sarah & Lee became husband and wife!

Some photos, a great wedding barbeque, speeches and celebratory toasts later, they hit the dance floor as Mr & Mrs Taylor!  The evening’s entertainment was a fantastic Rock band who had everyone up dancing until the early hours!

A huge “Congratulations to Sarah & Lee from all at Notton House Photography! It was fantastic to work with you again and we wish you all a lifetime of happy memories!

Notton House Photography – Our Story


Notton House Photography – Our Story

In 2009 my fiancĂ© Ian and I decided to take our obsession for photography from a hobby to a business.  We have both been involved in photography for many years and envied people who got paid for doing what they love, so when someone said to me “You have a natural talent for photography, why you don’t do it professionally?” I figured I’d give it a go!  

Then began the journey of finding what area of photography we wanted to specialise in.  It didn’t take long before we found our niche – Portraiture & Weddings / Events. 

We started by photographing friends’ weddings and holding professional photo shoots in our studio. We had such great feedback from our clients, we decided to advertise and before we knew it enquiries were coming in thick and fast.  Low and behold, Notton House Photography was born!

Since then we have gone from strength to strength. With many Weddings, Events and Family Photo Shoots under our belt, working as a professional photographer is now a reality.  Bookings are coming in from advertising in Wedding guides, our website, exhibiting at Wedding Fairs, social networking and my favourite: referrals from past clients!



So when people ask us “Why do you love photographing people so much?”  We have a simple answer: the emotion.  The excited smile on a child’s face; the love in the eyes of a Mum holding her new born baby; the pride on a Fathers face when he walks his daughter down the aisle and the nervous excitement from the Bride as she gets ready to marry the man of her dreams.  It’s an honour and a privilege to be part of these special moments and capture them in an image that will last a lifetime, and more!  

I would like to take a moment to say a special thanks to our family and friends who have supported us in the beginning and those who continue to do so as we move forward. You know who you are, so THANK YOU!
