Highly recommend!!!!!!

I’m not sure where to start!
Joe and I were so excited to begin planning our wedding at the start of this year. We quickly realised that we would be aiming for a sooner rather than later wedding due to each of us having a parent with significant health concerns.
So the manic planning began! We both wanted a very small, personal and intimate ceremony and we knew that, despite neither of us feeling particularly comfortable in front of a camera, we wanted to have amazing photographic memories to look back on in the years to come. We spoke to a few photographers and looked at their work but Vix immediately stood out.
We were impressed by the images she had captured with other couples and by her lovely persona.
She offered ‘a pre wedding shoot’ within the package which was such a great idea because once the big day arrived Vix felt more like a mate that we had invited to the wedding rather than a hired photographer which I’m sure contributed to us feeling super relaxed with her snapping away with her camera. She wasn’t intrusive at all and was always polite and friendly to everyone.
She took extra care and consideration of guests who are Neurodivergent and just made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Vix went out of her way to send a sample of images the day after the wedding which was super lovely and made us both emotional! We are beyond thrilled with the images she took on the day and are super happy to have had her with us on our day. Cannot recommend enough!

Highly recommended—supportive, talented, and truly inclusive

We cannot thank Vix and Gemma enough for their incredible work at our wedding. From the very first interaction, they were so supportive and professional, but it was on the day itself that they truly shone as a team.

As a disabled bride, I had some specific anxieties about how I would appear in the photos, particularly regarding my walking stick. Vix and Gemma completely understood this and were so reassuring throughout the entire day. They have an amazing ability to make you feel at ease, ensuring the focus remains on the joy and the 'moments' rather than the logistics of a disability.

We have just seen our first set of images and they are breathtaking. What moved me the most was that when I look at them, I don’t see my disability or my stick—I just see a beautiful, happy memory captured perfectly in a photograph. They are both very talented photographers and wonderful people to have by your side on such a big day. If you want a team that is inclusive, kind, and incredibly skilled, book VP Photography!

Excellent from start to finish!

Vicky was incredible from start to finish! When we first met at Field Place to have our pre-wedding shoot we instantly fell in love with her! She made us feel so comfortable and was amazing with our 4 year old daughter!
Vicky was imaginative and was happy to accommodate to our plans and timetable!
On the actual day she captured so many memories that we will cherish forever! She was always on hand… even we getting into our dresses she was there to help!
We wouldn’t want anyone else…. She’s relaxed, cheerful and we loved the crocs!

Best Wedding Photographer!✨

I have known Vix for a long time. She has done many photo shoots for me & my business as a Wedding Singer. She is incredibly easy to get along with and truly cares about each and every person she works with. She is an absolute pro at photography and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Vix is so kind and such a hard worker :)

Where to start with Vix?! As a person she’s an absolute gem who makes you feel relaxed and so comfortable, and knows how to make you giggle! When it comes to her photography, she’s not only hugely talented with her vision, camera work and editing but she won’t stop until she’s got everything absolutely spot on as she takes so much pride in the outcome. On photo shoots she’s brilliant to work with and on wedding days, as a fellow supplier, she's fabulous! Thanks for all your hard work Vix!

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.

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

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

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 !!!!!!

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 ✨

Gemma Young

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.
