Wedding Photographer - VP Photography

We cannot recommend VP Photography enough.
From the very first contact with Vix she put us at ease and listened to exactly what style of photos we wanted for our wedding and oh my gosh she delivered. Vix not only took photos at our wedding venue but braved the freezing cold and took us to different settings to get the perfect shot and now we have such beautiful pictures to treasure for a lifetime.

Fantastic photographer

Vix did an amazing job with our wedding, the photos are wonderful and she is a pleasure to work with. The package was clear and good value for money and all my guests commented at how lovely she was and how good the photos are

Capturing every detail.

I can’t tell you how amazing Vix is, not only will she make sure she captures every moment you want but goes above and beyond getting those amazing shots you never knew you wanted.

We had two meeting with Vix before our wedding onto discuss what we wanted and what services she does. The second was a pre wedding shoot, this was incredible as both my partner and I were very camera shy and this experience put us at easy and ready for the wedding day photos.

Communication was always easy and if you want to have the best memories of any special occasion Vix is the lady with the lense to capture these moments for all time.

Vix is great I wouldn't go anywhere else

Vix was awesome for both a family shoot and my wedding photos. Made us all feel at ease to get the best photos possible. With a fussy 1 year old and a 'too cool' for family photos pre-teen 🤣 Vix will listen to what you want. Find a beautiful location to perform her magic and the outcome is gorgeous 😍😍 A* professionalism in our opinion

Just The Best Photographer !

Vix was the most amazing photographer at our wedding - from the moment we met her at our pre wedding shoot we knew we had chosen the right person

She was such fun whilst being extremely professional and made our day by feeling an integral part of our wedding

We can’t thank her enough - the photographs we have seen so far are incredible and will be the best memory of our lovely day

Thankyou Vix - you are amazing 💕

Love Cindy & Keith

The only photographer you will need, she wipes the floor of everyone else!

I don’t think I could recommend Vix enough, the quality of photos she produces, the way she presents herself - I am honestly blown away by both her and Gemma! The pre wedding shoot was exactly what we needed for people who were nervous about photos and then on the day, I’ve had so many compliments about our photographers as well as the photographs. Vix kept me calm in all the madness and throughout the day, kept us all laughing and enjoying taking photos which doesn’t happen very often!! When we received the photos, I was so excited and they are just so perfect. Vix and Gemma, thank you for everything - you are truly both so talented and such wonderful people.

Beauty in Love

Vix instantly becomes a treasured friend and makes your day extra special. Alongside some magazine-cover-worthy photos, Vix and Gemma capture happiness, joy and beauty in a celebration. If you look at the gallery of Vix’s couples - they are all radiant and stunning. That’s in the magic.

Fabulous Vix

We would have no hestitation in recommending Vix for your big day.
Great communication from first contact. This made it easy to entrust her with capturing our wedding. It was clear from her work and personality she is inclusive to all. She also went above and beyond to find us a venue when our's cancelled! Nothing was too much trouble.

Couldn’t ask for better photographers for our day

I can not recommend vix enough for her amazing work.
We booked vix for our wedding and this also came with a second photographer Gemma , together then worked so well to capture every special moment of our day .
They captured pictures that we had no idea were being taken which were incredible.
All of our guests commented how amazing they both were and so professional with how they work together.
The amount of pictures we received and the time spans to get them was incredible.
Before our wedding we had our free pre wedding shoot vix made us feel so comfortable and at ease.
Anyone looking for a photographer who captures beautiful pictures as well as just being overall amazing these are your girls !!!!!!

Jane and Harry

A wedding fifty years in the making. Lots of mutual friends down the ages coming together. A perfect venue and weather. We were very apprehensive about the possible intrusive nature of wedding photography having experienced a few videoed, streamed and long intervals for photographs at other weddings. We need not have worried. Vix quickly understood our wishes and was so professional, unobtrusive and talented. We were thrilled with the results and highly recommend VP Photography.

The best!

I couldn’t recommend Vix and Gemma and VP Photography enough.
Vix is just one of a kind, nothing was enough for her leading up to our wedding and even on the wedding day, on my wedding day as soon as I saw Vix I felt at ease, we did laugh!!
The getting to know shoot that you get included is so worth it as I really feel you should feel at ease on such a big day!
I wish I could get married over and over again so I could have VP Photography.❤️

Wouldn't have had anyone else!

We had Vix and Gemma photograph our wedding in 2024. We picked Vix because we'd previously had our family shoot with her and was so impressed with the whole experience and the results. However, I was blown away by the results of our wedding photos. All expectations were exceeded. The whole day went so smoothly and I barely even realised they were there in the background. Getting so many shots from more than one perspective was amazing. We had a getting to know you engagement shoot and few months before the wedding, again, amazing experience and results. All of the photos look beautifully done. From posed family shots, to in the moment ones that you don't even know have been taken, to beautiful artsy shots of all manner of things from the wedding. Vix and Gemma have an eye for the magical moments and the special details of the wedding. I wouldn't have had anyone else photograph my wedding. We got more than what we expected and now have those memories for a lifetime.

Amazing photographer

Vix was amazing from the moment we met her at the get to know you shoot, she put us at ease with her friendly attitude, bubbly personality and how professional she was.
On the day of our wedding she brought Gemma another photographer with her, they worked incredibly well together to ensure they captured all pictures we wanted as well as in the moment pictures. Not only is Vix a great photographer she is very knowledgeable, experienced, was great with our girls and our guests loved her and Gemma.
We would absolutely recommend Vix.

The only photographer we'd book for all occasions

I came across Vix when I wanted to 'trash my wedding dress' after I got divorced. She was amazing, fun and friendly. I went on to book her when I remarried. We had a pre shoot which really helped inspire us for the big day. The actual day went so smoothly, which I wasn't surprised at. She is so professional and creative, especially as it rained all day, but the photos still came out beautifully. A year later we booked her again to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. We had such a blast. She always makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. I can't wait to book her for our future family shoots.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Vix Paine
Vix Paine
Business owner / Lead Photographer

Hey, I’m Vix – the face behind VP Photographer, lead photographer, moment catcher, and your biggest supporter from the very first chat to the final gallery.

Based in Worthing, I photograph weddings across West Sussex, East Sussex, and wherever your story leads. I’ve been a photographer for over 12 years, and I’ve been happily married for nearly 20 – so I know just how important it is to feel present in every moment, and how powerful it is to have those memories captured honestly and beautifully.

At home, life is full – in the best way – with two brilliant teenagers, two slightly bonkers dogs, and my two trusty Nikon Z6iii cameras, which are basically part of the family by now!

In fact, my own wedding experience is exactly why I do what I do.

When I got married, I didn’t love my wedding photos – and that was heartbreaking. From the awkward angles and poor lighting to the stand-offish attitude of the photographer, it all felt disconnected from who we were. It made us uncomfortable on a day that should’ve been filled with ease and joy, and looking back, not having those meaningful images to treasure is something I’ll always feel sad about. That experience has shaped everything about how I approach weddings – and why I care so much about doing things differently.

My style is artistic, romantic, warm and personal. I’m all about capturing the connection between you – the real stuff. The way you kiss when no one’s watching. The way your hands find each other. The quiet moments in between the big ones. No stiff posing, just natural direction when needed, and space to be yourselves. It’s that mix of candid storytelling with just enough gentle guidance to help you shine.

Every couple I work with has a pre-wedding shoot – a relaxed “getting to know you” session that helps shake off the nerves and build trust between us. It’s a great chance to feel more comfortable in front of the camera – and with me – before the big day.

I’m deeply mindful of the little things – the light, the angle, the background (yes, I see that radiator and exit sign before you do!). My attention to detail is everything, because the smallest things make the biggest difference.

And I’m never doing this alone.

I often work alongside my incredible second photographers – especially my number one, Gemma. I’ve taught her from the ground up, and we’ve developed an amazing partnership and friendship over the years. Our couples always comment on our energy, connection and calm, fun vibe on the day – and it’s something we’re really proud of.

When Gemma’s not with me, I have a small, trusted group of handpicked second shooters who all match the same standard and approach. You’re always in safe hands with my team – people I trust to deliver exactly what I would.

You’ll always have my full attention, and I’ll work closely with you to make sure your photos reflect not just how your day looked, but how it felt. There’s no one-size-fits-all here – just your story, told your way.

I choose to work, which makes my commitment to you so much more. I will always be found at my desk, coffee in hand, editing your wedding photos one by one, not with Ai and one massive filter, each photo takes care and the removing of distracting exit signs lol.

Or...i will be walking my dogs, loving nature, spending time with my gorgeous family, playing my piano or found snuggled up reading a good detective story.

If that sounds like your kind of experience, and we sound like your photographers, then let’s set up a video chat – no pressure, just a relaxed conversation to get to know each other.

And if you’d like to hear more from my past couples, you’ll find plenty of kind words here on Hitched and over on Google.

Let’s make something unforgettable together ✨

2nd photographer

Hi, I’m Gemma – a wedding photographer with a love for the little moments, both behind the lens and in life.

I’ve been with VP Photography for over 5 years, and I work alongside the amazing Vix, who has supported and guided me from the very start.

Together, we capture both sides of the story on a wedding day, making sure no special moment goes unseen.

My journey started with a love of nature and wildlife photography, where I learned patience, precision, and how to spot beauty in the details. That naturally led me into the world of weddings, where I now focus on capturing the emotions, fine details, and meaningful moments that make each couple’s day unique. I especially enjoy preserving the little touches couples work so hard on — the quiet glances, happy tears, and everything in between.


Outside of photography, I’m a proud wife and mum to three beautiful children — two energetic boys and one wonderfully sassy girl — plus two equally crazy dogs who keep us all on our toes.

My other job is in childcare, a career I’ve loved since I left college. It’s actually a huge help when photographing children at weddings and events — they tend to warm to me quickly, which makes for some really natural, joyful shots.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me enjoying days out with my family, watching my children at their sports and activities, or soaking in a peaceful sunset.

I also love to sit and draw (with a hot coffee in hand, of course!) whenever I get a quiet moment.

Photography isn’t just my job — it’s my passion. Being trusted to capture such important memories is something I’ll never take for granted.
