What We Do
Real stories. Beautifully told.
Think of it as a modern-day portrait commission, but instead of paint on canvas, we work with moving images, sound, and story. The result is something alive: a film that doesn’t just show how life looked, but how it felt.
We make bespoke, cinematic documentaries that capture the people and moments that mean the most to you. Whether you want to celebrate somebody in your life, make a family update film to share, explore your family’s history, capture every day life with your kids, you have a special occasion you want to have on record, we can help. We can also discuss any other ideas you have, we’re entirely bespoke, so just ask.
These are not wedding-style highlight reels or posed family videos - they are true documentary films, created with the sensibility of a documentary filmmaker. We take time to listen, to ask questions, and to uncover the heart of each story.
Why it matters
Time moves fast. Memories fade. We all mean to record the things we know we will long for when they’re gone - the voice of someone we love, the way our child laughs, the Sunday rituals, the stories told around the table - but so often, life gets in the way.
Our films are a way to pause that motion. To hold onto the stories that define us, to capture the people we love in their essence, and to create something lasting for now and for generations to come.
They’re more than memories. They’re heirlooms.
How we work
We will do an initial call to discuss what you’d like.
Once confirmed, I’ll send you some questions so that I can get to know you, or the person/people we will be filming. We’ll then shape a story and filming plan.
We film in an authentic, documentary style - unobtrusive, natural, and human-centred. That might mean interviews at home, candid moments with your children, or following your family through an ordinary day - the kind of day that, in time, you’ll realise was extraordinary. It might also mean filming a bigger occasion such as a special trip or holiday, a birthday or a reunion.
We then move to post-production which is the longest part of the documentary filmmaking process. This is where the film takes shape.
The lead time of Portrait and Day in the Life projects is around within 6-8 weeks, and the in-depth Heritage and Seasons packages timelines will be discussed. If you need your film made quickly by a certain date for example, we can usually arrange this for an additional fee.
The result
A cinematic portrait, your story told, crafted by an experienced documentary filmmaker.
Something to be cherished and shared.
