ABOUT
ALEX WEST
I approach weddings as curated visual narratives rather than traditional documentation.
My work is shaped by fashion, architecture, and atmosphere focusing on how a celebration feels, moves, and unfolds rather than simply capturing what happens.
I work calmly and intuitively, guiding when needed and stepping back when moments speak for themselves.
This balance allows space for natural movement, considered fashion moments, and the quiet details that give each celebration its character.
Today, I work across Europe, collaborating closely with planners and creative teams to create imagery that feels intentional, refined, and timeless.
Photography has been part of my family for generations, shaping my sensitivity to light, composition, and human presence.
Selected work featured at Times Square, New York,
as part of an international editorial showcase.
COLLABORATION with Photographers
For larger celebrations, I collaborate with photographers who lead their own high-end brands and share the same editorial sensibility.
This is not a traditional main-/second-shooter structure.
It is a peer-level collaboration based on trust, experience, and a shared visual language.
Each photographer works with full intention throughout the celebration, ensuring continuity, balance, and a cohesive body of work defined by restraint, consistency, and a unified editorial point of view.

FAQS
WHAT DEFINES YOUR WORK?
My work is rooted in an editorial approach shaped by generations of photographic heritage. I photograph weddings as visual narratives, guided by atmosphere, architecture, and human presence rather than trends or performance. Each celebration is approached with intention, restraint, and a strong sense of place.
WHAT TYPE OF CELEBRATIONS DO YOU WORK WITH?
I primarily work with couples planning considered destination weddings in iconic European locations, often spanning multiple days. Most celebrations involve careful planning, collaboration with planners, and a clear aesthetic vision.
IS THIS THE RIGHT FIT FOR US?
If you value calm execution, visual clarity, and a thoughtful approach over spectacle, this may be the right fit. I work best with couples who trust the process, value discretion, and see photography as an integral part of the overall experience rather than a standalone service.
FAQ
WHAT LEVEL OF INVESTMENT IS TYPICAL?
Most couples I work with plan their photography investment in alignment with multi-day celebrations, iconic venues, and a considered overall experience.
HOW INVOLVED ARE YOU THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS?
My role often extends beyond the wedding day itself.
I collaborate closely with couples and planners in advance to align vision, timing, and visual direction, ensuring a seamless experience and cohesive imagery across the entire celebration.
WHEN SHOULD WE REACH OUT?
Dates in sought-after destinations are often secured well in advance.
If you are planning a destination celebration in Italy, France, or elsewhere in Europe, early conversations are recommended to ensure availability and alignment.
Explore the Experience
Most couples take time to arrive at this decision.
The goal isn’t to decide quickly but to decide confidently.

TESTIMONIALS
KIND WORDS
“A TRUE GENTLEMEN & ARTIST.”
Each of your shots is a fragment of truth, captured with sensitivity and respect for what you portray. That’s exactly what I felt about your way of being too: authentic, discreet, always present without ever being intrusive. Grateful to have worked with such a professional. Talent meets humility, and that’s where the magic happens.
WEDDING PLANNER
KIND WORDS
“HE MADE US FEEL SEEN, CARED FOR, AND COMPLETELY AT EASE.”
“He was a true blessing from the start to finish. We immediately felt comfortable with him. Alex helped us with all our concerns and was always available to give us advice and support. Communication was straightforward, whether before, during or after the wedding. What was particularly impressive was how professionally and smoothly he worked with the other service providers, which made the whole process even less stressful. Thanks to his support, we were able to concentrate fully on our big day. We are so grateful for his help and the relaxed, warm atmosphere he created.”
BRIDE & GROOM
KIND WORDS
“PROFESSIONALISM AND CLASS HE ELEVATED OUR DAY IN EVERY WAY.”
“Alex truly embodies the ‘being classy never goes out of style’ lifestyle. His outfit at our wedding matched our dress code perfectly and he blended in effortlessly with our wedding guests. His personable, open manner is simply a dream and made us feel like we were in the best hands. What was particularly impressive was that we had different dress codes for the evening before and the wedding day, and Alex had several suitable outfits for every situation. Having a photographer who not only has an eye for detail but also for etiquette and style was incredible. The fact that he showed up in a tuxedo himself for the black tie evening showed how much respect he had for us and our guests. Alex took our special day to a new level with his professionalism and class.”
