ALEX WEST
Your wedding deserves more than a photographer it deserves an artist who understands the rhythm of luxury events and the intimacy of real connection.
As a third-generation photographer, I continue a nearly century-long heritage of visual craftsmanship. My approach is guided by intuition, style, and a deep respect for timeless storytelling.
I create imagery that blends the sophistication of an editorial feature with the intimacy of your most personal moments. The result: photographs that are both iconic and deeply meaningful images that reflect not only how your day looked, but how it truly felt.
From the shores of Lake Como to the Amalfi Coast, from the Riviera’s grand hotels to the quiet hills of Tuscany, I work with couples who value style, detail, and authenticity. My approach is tailored, discreet, and effortless, allowing you to be fully present while I anticipate and capture the moments that define your story.
I accept only a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives an experience curated exclusively for them. When you invite me to your celebration, you gain more than a photographer you gain a trusted presence who understands the rhythm of luxury events and the intimacy of real connection.

Photography has been part of my family for three generations my earliest memories are of light, film, and timeless portraits.

FAQ
WHATS YOUR APPROACH ON THE WEDDING DAY ?
My approach is calm, intuitive, and discreet. I blend editorial sophistication with an effortless experience guiding gently when needed and stepping back as moments unfold naturally. Always present but never intrusive, I capture the atmosphere, emotion, and connection that define your day.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE INQUIRE?
Popular wedding dates especially during high season and in sought after destinations often book 8 to 10 months in advance. If you’re planning a celebration in Italy, France or beyond, I recommend reaching out as early as possible.
WHEN DO WE GET OUR PHOTOS ?
Each image is hand-refined; the full collection is delivered within 8–10 weeks, with selected previews in the first days after your celebration.
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.”
