Some photographers document a wedding, but in Houston, Texas, Simon Gentry Photography tells its story. With over 15 years of experience working across wedding, fashion, and dance photography, Simon brings a filmmaker's eye and a deeply personal touch to one of the most important days of your life. Based in Houston, Texas, he serves couples throughout the state, across the country, and at destination weddings around the world.

What sets Simon apart begins long before the wedding day. His career spans editorial fashion shoots, magazine covers, and performance photography for some of Houston's most celebrated dance companies — work that has trained his eye to find beauty in motion, emotion in stillness, and story in a single frame. That breadth of experience means he arrives at every wedding not just as a photographer, but as a visual storyteller with a genuinely distinctive perspective.

Simon's approach is rooted in cinematic storytelling — the belief that a wedding is not a series of posed moments, but a living, breathing narrative full of emotion, surprise, and quiet beauty. His images draw from the language of film: deliberate light, careful composition, and an instinct for the fraction of a second when everything converges. The result is a body of work that feels less like a wedding album and more like a collection of frames from a film you never want to end.

Before any camera comes out, Simon invests time in getting to know each couple — their personalities, their story, the details that make their relationship uniquely theirs. That foundation of trust is what allows him to disappear into the background on the day itself, capturing moments that are completely authentic rather than carefully performed. The quiet exchange before the ceremony. The laughter that breaks through the tears. The look between two people that says everything words cannot.

Simon's combined photography and video packages ensure that nothing is lost — that the day is preserved not only in still images of extraordinary quality, but in motion and sound, so that the music, the vows, and the voices of the people you love are kept alongside the visuals. Every package is tailored personally, with no one-size-fits-all approach.

Whether your celebration is an intimate gathering, a large multicultural event, or a destination wedding somewhere spectacular, Simon Gentry brings the same level of care, craft, and quiet dedication to every frame because every couple deserves a story told beautifully — and honestly.
