Alexis West, a wedding photographer in Iowa that provides photo and video services to couples all across the Midwest and beyond.

I'M ALEXIS.


Ever since I picked up my first camera 25 years ago, I’ve been passionate about capturing and creating stories of all kinds. My journey began with a BA in Graphic Design & Communications, concentrating in Photography, which I earned in 2002. Shortly after, I launched my career in magazine design, art direction, and photography.


With over 15 years of editorial experience, I’ve honed my skills in capturing genuine, heartfelt moments that reflect the vibrant spectrum  of human emotion. This background has not only shaped my technical abilities but has also deepened my understanding of storytelling through imagery. Each photograph I take is a piece of a larger narrative, allowing me to connect with my clients on a profound level.


My work is driven by a commitment to showcasing the beauty and authenticity of life’s experiences, creating lasting memories through the lens of my camera.

"PHOTOGRAPHY WOULDN’T EXIST WITHOUT LIGHT; IT’S THE GIFT THAT ALLOWS US TO SEE THE WORLD’S BEAUTY. YET, TRUE LIGHT ALSO EMANATES FROM WITHIN. A SMILE IS THE RADIANT GLOW THAT REFLECTS YOUR INNER LIGHT." -

I love to get on my subject's level sometimes for different perspectives and angles even if it means laying in the leaves!
