About me and how i work
Hi, I’m Vix! 👋
I’m Vix Paine, a professional wedding photographer based in Worthing, Sussex , covering West Sussex, East Sussex and the South East.
I’m all about capturing real moments, real emotions and real people. I don’t want your wedding photographs to feel stiff or overly posed. I want you to enjoy your day while I capture the laughter, happy tears, hugs, chaos, dancing and all those little moments you might otherwise miss.
Your Wedding, Your Way ❤️
I’m proud to offer inclusive and neurodiversity-affirming wedding photography, welcoming couples of all identities, including same-sex couples, opposite-sex couples, non-binary and gender-diverse couples.
Whether your wedding is traditional, alternative, intimate, wonderfully chaotic or completely unique, you do you!
I’ll give you gentle direction when you need it, but there’s no pressure to pose or be someone you’re not.
Keeping Things Simple
I want booking your Sussex wedding photographer to be easy and stress-free.
You’ll get clear pricing, no hidden costs and plenty of support along the way. From our first chat to delivering your beautifully edited wedding photographs, I’ll be here to answer questions and make the whole experience as relaxed as possible.
Your photographs are securely delivered digitally using trusted platforms, so they’re easy for you to download, save and share.
Most Importantly…
Relax. Be yourselves. Enjoy your wedding.
I’ll capture the moments that make your day uniquely yours — so when you look back at your photographs, you remember not just what your wedding looked like, but how it felt .
Your wedding. Your people. Your story. Captured your way. ❤️
How i work – the small print
Transparent, Affordable, and Client-Focused
I believe in providing affordable, high-quality photography with clear communication and transparency. Here’s how my process works:
1. Package and Pricing:
- One inclusive package price covers your shoot and the digital prints you’ll receive.
- I take as many photos as necessary during the session to ensure we capture the best possible images for you.
- After the shoot, I’ll shortlist the best photos and let you know how many images are available, keeping costs down for you.
- Final payment is due within 24 hours of the request to finalise your images.
2. Image Delivery Process:
- WhatsApp contact is requested so I can send your edited images for approval. These images will have my logo, and you’re free to share them on your personal social media with credit to my website.
- You’ll receive a downloadable link via WeTransfer for your images (for safety and security). You can also choose to purchase a keepsake USB stick. Please note that I don’t accept outside USB sticks to ensure security and avoid potential viruses.
- If you don’t download the images within 7 days, there will be a £10 fee to reset the download link.
3. Image Storage and Deletion:
- Edited photos are securely stored on my computer for 12 months. After this time, they will be permanently deleted, so be sure to download and save your images before the deadline.
- Unedited photos are deleted once the final images are approved and sent.
4. Booking and Payment Terms:
- A non-refundable £25 deposit is required to secure your booking.
- 24 hours’ notice is needed to reschedule. If you cancel or fail to give enough notice, the deposit is non-refundable. The deposit will be deducted from the total price once the session is complete.
5. Model and TFP (Time for Print) Terms:
- If you are modeling for me (TFP), you will receive watermark-free digital images with the understanding that you credit me for all usage
6. Image Rights and Usage:
- You’re purchasing edited digital images, not prints.
- All images provided are protected by copyright law. If you’d like to purchase the copyright, you can do so for an additional £250.
- Raw, unedited images will never be sent out.
- You have full control over the use of your images on social media or printed materials . No photos will be shared without your express verbal or written consent.
- The images may not be commercially sold, licensed, altered for commercial use or supplied to third parties for commercial purposes without the photographer’s written permission.
- Clients are not permitted to edit their own photos under any circumstances
7. Privacy and Contact Information:
- After the shoot and once the process is complete, your email address and phone number will be deleted from my system for privacy. You will need to provide them again for future bookings or shoots.
8. Colour and finish:
- Please note that colours may vary depending on the screen used. All images are edited on a colour-graded Mac monitor calibrated with a Datacolor Spyder..
Please Note:
