Here at Living Memories, I want to capture as many happy family moments as possible no matter what the occasion is. It is my priority to provide your family with a keepsake to have forever.
From knowing how vital these family memories are myself from having photos taken at a happy family event, occasions and reunions to filming my own grandmother’s video documentaries, I know how precious this is and ensuring that these memories can never be lost.
With me, I am a people person and I love to meet people again through their different milestones so you can book me as many times or occasions as you like.
Special Messages to Loved Ones
COVID-19 has definitely made life more difficult to socialise with your nearest and dearest. But just because we can't see our loved ones doesn't mean we can't show them how much they mean to us. We will craft a truly special gift for your loved ones to show them you're thinking of them in these tough times.
Funeral Tributes
With our Funeral Tributes we create a beautiful visual tribute to your loved one who you have lost. You simply provide us with all the photos of the happy memories and their adventures over time and we'll do the rest. Home videos could also be included as part of the tribute as well as beautiful music to be placed on the top. We can also provide a more different service where we can film talking head messages from family and friends to include in the tribute so you can say your final goodbyes.
VHS to DVD/USB
Old Family VHS home movie tapes are definitely getting less and less popular over time, not to mention it is becoming harder to find equipment to play your videos on before they are unplayable or unwatchable. So don’t let your precious memories and home videos fade away or be forgotten. Whether it's your parents/grandparents wedding, a family members first steps or your child's school play - we want to keep these memories alive with our VHS to DVD conversions.
Life Stories
As part of our ‘Living Memories’ packages, we also offer a new documentary feature style which encapsulates said stories and is a beautiful way of passing on memories from generation to generation. This feature includes face to face talking head videos which are delicately edited alongside music, photographs and additional videos.
Photography Days
With the photography days, I just want yourself and your family to have fun - this is your time and special moments and you can count on me to be there and capture as much as I can. I believe that some the best photos are those of natural candid moments - little direction and no cheesy ‘cheese’ or ‘sausages’ one liners to try and make people smile (minus a few if wanted of course). I love natural, fun raw photos which allows your family just to be relaxed and everyone to just have a good time rather than worry how they look on camera or what pose they are going to do.
Special Occasions
We want you to make beautiful family moments no matter what the occasion is; from a christening of a new family member, a retirement or anniversary or even a special birthday party or gathering- you make the memories and we can capture it for you. We can make memories of your happy celebrations with an extra service of offering a "good times" video whereby we can ask family and friends to say a few words about your happy day or any messages or memories they might want to say or tell for you to watch back on.
Weddings
My Wedding Videography style is focused on a professional discreet and easy going approach. I want the couples included to enjoy their wedding day and not have to worry about all the little details. My job is to give my couples the gift of these memories to treasure forever by capturing the raw emotions, whether that is the tears of pure happiness for the first dance or the laughter from hearing the funny stories from the speeches. I adore capturing these moments.
