VIDEO FORMATS

Life documentary
A classic long interview-based film combining personal conversations, photographs, and archival footage, shaped into a flowing chronological portrait with key life milestones. The inclusion of your own voice makes the video even more precious. See pricing.

Short legacy films
A 5–7 minute video honouring a loved one who has passed, often shared at memorials or celebrations of life.

Short video chapters
Short films focused on a specific theme or event such as a graduation, birthday, or anniversary. Easy to watch, easy to share, and ideal for family viewing.

Photo-based story films
Still images brought to life through gentle motion, voice-over narration, and carefully chosen music. A reflective, beautifully paced format.

Message videos for the future
Personal messages recorded for birthdays, weddings, milestones, or future generations. Thoughtful, intimate, and deeply meaningful.

We take pride in the meticulous detail applied to every project, producing high-quality videos at reasonable prices. All videos are delivered in high definition and can be viewed on internet-connected devices via private or unlisted YouTube links, or as downloadable MP4 files suitable for USB drives, computers, and most smart TVs.

PRINTED MEMOIR BOOK

Printed memoir books are carefully crafted biographies with short, easy-to-read chapters and treasured items: photographs, reproduced handwritten notes, documents and certificates. Key moments are placed in both personal and historical context, helping future readers understand not just what happened, but when and why it mattered. These books may also include letters written to children, grandchildren, or “whoever reads this one day”. The result is a physical book, easy to hold, share, and pass down.

What makes our approach different is the way we work. We begin with thoughtful, in-depth personal interviews. We sit and talk, taking the time to listen properly. Interviews can be conducted in person, via video call, or by phone if you’re not nearby. We also carefully repair, retouch, and enhance old photographs and documents, newspaper clippings, greeting cards, and letters of commendation, so they can be preserved clearly and respectfully within the book. See pricing.

Options and Add-ons may include:

  • E-book edition – easy to share with family overseas, identical to the printed book, but in digital format.

  • Print-on-demand copies – additional copies for relatives or friends, ordered anytime.

  • Digital archive of restored materials – photos, scans, and transcripts, delivered neatly on a USB flash drive or via a private link to download.

  • We can create life story books in different languages - because some stories are best told in your own language.

Family Chronicles or Family Tribute Books bring together the voices, memories, and traditions of your family into a single, beautifully crafted volume. Instead of a formal family tree, these books capture stories from multiple relatives, sharing different perspectives on family members, special events, and treasured moments. Secret family recipes, traditions and anecdotes can all be included, creating a rich, personal record that reflects the life and legacy of your family.

What makes this service unique is the way we work with everyone involved. We guide family members through contributions, edit and organize the material with care, and create a living archive that can grow over time. Future generations can continue to add their memories, ensuring that your family’s stories, traditions, and legacy are preserved for years to come—ready to be read, shared, and cherished.

FAMILY STORYBOOK

Options and Add-ons may include:

  • PDF edition – easy to share with family members and easy to update in future .

  • Website edition - Share, preserve, and grow your family’s memories online—stories, photos, recipes, and traditions, all in one living archive.

Audio Recording Services offer a relaxed, voice-led way to preserve personal memories, without the need for cameras or on-screen appearances. Through recorded conversations, stories are captured naturally, in the speaker’s own voice. Laughter, pauses, accents, and emotion all matter. This format is ideal for those who feel most comfortable talking rather than being filmed.

For children and loved ones, hearing a familiar voice is often more precious than anything else. Audio projects can take several forms, including full voice recordings, short podcast-style episodes organised around themes such as childhood, work, love, or lessons learned, and audio letters recorded for specific people or future milestones. Each recording is carefully edited for clarity and flow, creating an intimate, lasting keepsake to listen to, share, and return to over time.

AUDIO RECORDING

MEMORY PHOTO ALBUM

Memory Photo Albums focus on photographs rather than a full written narrative. Carefully curated images are paired with short captions that capture people, places, and moments that matter most. These printed photo albums are designed to be easy to revisit and easy to pass down, offering something tangible for children, grandchildren, and extended family to return to over time.

Albums are available in a range of formats and sizes, from a simple softcover edition to elegant coffee table books with durable finishes. Clients may choose a basic, no-frills option by supplying high-resolution digital photos and captions, or opt for a fully supported service. We can scan printed photographs, help shape captions, crop and enhance images, and remove visual distractions, ensuring each album feels thoughtful, clear, and beautifully put together.

When to choose What:

  • Choose a Memory Photo Album if you want a beautifully curated collection of images with short captions.

  • Choose a Printed Memoir Book if you want a deeper narrative built from interviews, written chapters, and personal reflections.
