📖 About John Young

At John Young Photography (Worthing), storytelling is at the heart of everything I do. Photography has always been my passion, allowing me to explore stunning wedding venues across Sussex, Hampshire, and the South Coast while meeting amazing couples.

After returning from New Zealand, I had the honour of serving as the official photographer for the Worthing Mayor for five years. During this time, I worked with individuals from every walk of life—from royalty to the homeless—capturing powerful moments that continue to shape my approach today.

This experience, along with a background in editorial and press photography, has refined my ability to document weddings with a keen eye for detail and emotion. As a documentary wedding photographer in West Sussex, I focus on genuine moments—the laughter, tears, hugs, and glances that define your wedding story.

Whether you're planning a beachfront wedding in Brighton, an elegant ceremony in Chichester, or a countryside celebration in the South Downs, I’ll be there to ensure every memory is beautifully preserved.

Three Things About John

John Young with a Carma looking out at the sea by John Young Photography

Travel

Travel has always been a love of mine, and right from an early age, I found that photography was a passion of mine, being creative and seeking lasting images,  I am lucky to spent some years living in New Zealand, where my photography has taken me to the next level.

Now I am a full-time Wedding and lifestyle photographer, living in a small village in the UK, but I still love to travel.

Food

I am a foody, food and travel come hand in hand, finding new recipes and new styles of cooking, being creative has helped me with my photography today.

When I am covering a wedding that’s when food is so important, starting very early in the morning, and then finishing late at night, clients forget that we need to eat too, it’s so important to have downtime for food

Walking

Living in the small village of Tarring near Worthing, West Sussex, UK, I am so lucky to have the stunning coastline to the South and to the North, and I have the South Downs National Park.

As a wedding photographer, it’s so important to keep fit, with great walks around Tarring ,there is always something new to experience and some lovely watering holes on the way home
