STANDARD OF LEGACY
I work with couples who demand more than documentation. Drawing from a century of family heritage a lineage that began with capturing the portraits of Kings and Queens I bring an instinctive, genetic mastery to the world’s most iconic destinations. From the historic villas of Lake Como to the refined estates of the Côte d’Azur, I view these grand settings not merely as scenery, but as essential elements of your visual language. My approach is defined by restraint and authority: documenting the interaction of light, stone, and emotion to orchestrate a legacy that will be cherished for generations.
YOUR STORY TOLD BY ALEX WEST
A CENTURY OF VISION.
A GENETIC INSTINCT
FOR STYLE
Photography has been the native language of my family for four generations. This is not a profession I chose; it is a legacy I carry. It began with my great-grandfather, who was entrusted with the portraits of Kings and Queens a foundation of discretion and excellence that defines my work today.
I translate this century of technical mastery into a modern, editorial context. For couples with a fashion-forward vision, I bring a perspective that is intentional, refined, and unmistakably timeless. I don’t just take photographs; I apply a hundred years of visual intuition to ensure your story is told with the same prestige that once captured royalty.

THE EXPERIENCE
The experience is defined by a refined sense of structure and a quietly authoritative direction. It is designed for those who remain present while their narrative unfolds with effortless precision. From the high-fashion energy of a welcome evening to the timeless gravity of a black-tie ceremony, every moment is curated with clarity and restraint. My approach thrives within the complexity of multi-day celebrations: the transition of light, the change of silhouettes, and the sophisticated rhythm of thoughtfully styled guests. This is editorial storytelling in its purest form never forced, never overstated, but always intentional. I apply a century of visual intuition to ensure that even the most fleeting moments are captured with a sense of permanence and prestige.
EDITORIAL DIRECTION
Every commission is approached with a rigorous visual structure. I don’t just observe; I apply a defined artistic direction across multiple days to ensure a cohesive narrative. By integrating with high-level planning and production workflows, I orchestrate the interplay of fashion, design, and light without ever disrupting the organic pulse of the event.
Whether it is the candid energy of a welcome dinner, the gravity of a composed ceremony, or an evening defined by tailored silhouettes and candlelight, my focus remains absolute: Discretion, Coherence, and Continuity.
I translate the complexity of multi-day events into a singular, unmistakable aesthetic. From the first gathering to the final departure, I ensure that the visual language of your celebration remains consistent, elevated, and unapologetically timeless.
Professionalism and class elevating our celebration in every detail.

STANDARD OF LEGACY
I work with couples who demand more than documentation. They value clarity, presence, and a refined sense of artistic direction. Those who understand that a wedding is not simply an event, but a complex composition of atmosphere, movement, and intentional design. Drawing from a century of family heritage a lineage that began with capturing the portraits of Kings and Queens I bring an instinctive, genetic mastery to every frame. I document multi-day celebrations across the globe, shaped by architecture, light, and a high-fashion sensibility. My approach is defined by restraint and authority: calm, observant, and structured, yet never staged. It is the sophisticated art of orchestrating a legacy that will be cherished for generations.
BEYOND THE BACKDROP ARCHITECTURAL NARRATIVES ACROSS EUROPE
I am drawn to locations that do not merely serve as scenery, but establish the rhythm and scale of a legacy. From the historic villas of Lake Como and the dramatic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast to the refined estates of the Côte d’Azur and Tuscany, I work with couples who choose destinations that elevate the entire sensory experience.
For me, these iconic settings are not backgrounds they are essential elements of the visual language. They shape how a celebration unfolds, how light interacts with stone, and how every moment is remembered. With a century of heritage I navigate these grand spaces with discretion and an instinctive eye for composition, ensuring the architecture of your venue is as much a part of the story as the emotions within it.
