Christine & Charles were married in Houston Texas this past Saturday, October 3rd. The wedding took place at St. Annes Catholic Church followed by the reception at Hotel Derek. What a fun wedding!
The ceremony was actually short, about 25 mins. As they were walking back down the aisle Charles said “I can’t believe it went by so quickly”. From there they went on a photo shoot around DT Houston where they were chased by a few afternoon showers.
The cocktail hour started at Hotel Derek around 6pm where the guests were greeted by a candy buffet! Boy, all the green candy look really good, especially the rock candy. But my teeth said no and I had to pass. Once they made their grand entrance dinner was served and everyone danced the night away.
I really enjoyed shooting at Hotel Derek; it was nice to have the DJ set up off the dance floor. This created a cleaner look for the room as well as aided in making both my and the photographer’s shots better. I wish more events were set up like this.
Christine and Charles invested in one of our new offerings called the “Next Day Edit”. What we create is a 5-6 min highlights film from the wedding. We also edit the film right after the wedding, so you will receive your online version in 4-7 days. As you will see it takes you through all the emotions of the day.The pacing, music and shots are carefully selected and weaved together to create a one of a kind story. Enjoy!

Joe, this is a masterpiece! The music selections, the ending, the dancing shots- Love it!
Thanks Ladies!
Vanessa, the song selection is a combination of the couple and us here at the studio. Creating a soundtrack for a film is hard, it takes lots of research just to find the perfect fit.
The couples will give us a few selections that they like, sometimes their choices are perfect but other times we have to dig deeper to find the right one. Our couples trust our judgement to make sure their film is a fit for them!

About Me: We love to film, travel and meet new people, and somehow we stumbled into the most amazing job that lets us do all this! I'm Joe Simon, and I run Joe Simon Wedding Films based in Austin Texas. This upcoming year will mark my 10th year of wedding filmmaking. We have been blessed to be able to shoot with couples that are fans of our work, and they continue to inspire us to create awesome films.
I love the fact that more companies are offering wedding highlight shorts as opposed to a drawn out hour long video. So much emotion is conveyed through creative editing, and I think people are more likely to re-watch these versions over and over rather than letting the long form collect dust.
My question is how do you select the songs you use as the soundtrack? Are they the couples faves or is that just another part of the creative process?
