Video memoirs – Personal Life Story Documentaries
Capture your family life stories and precious memories in a personal documentary (or video memoir). These powerful videos tell personal stories and memories of loved ones past and present in a beautiful biographical documentary, so the stories (and the personalities of the storytellers) are not forgotten.
The older generation doesn’t have the digital footprint that the current generation has, so when they have gone from our lives their stories and family knowledge will also be gone – unless we RECORD them. These keepsake personal documentary videos capture precious stories and memories forever.
At the editing stage, old photos can also be included to enhance the story even more, and help record the details of old photos that may otherwise be lost.
Capture the story PLUS the true essence & personality of the storyteller
Seeing and hearing the voice of a loved one in a video memoir – sharing their story, insights, feelings and memories of their life is truly a priceless gift for both current and future generations.

Remember, your family wants to inherit your stories, not your stuff.
Life story documentary options
Sharing your documentary life story video with family
Once your life story video memoir is completed and saved in digital form, the MP4 file can easily be shared with family around the world. It can be played on your phone, ipad, laptop, computer and even cast to your television.
Contact me if you have any questions.
Why use video?
Imagine being able to watch someone you love sharing their stories and true essence on camera in their own words. What a priceless gift for future generations to share.
Facial expressions and mannerisms add so much to what you share with others – and bring the story to life. There’s no better way to capture the emotion of a story and personality of the storyteller than with video.
Your story matters, and can help others to heal and thrive. Don’t let it be lost or forgotten.
Your family wants to inherit your stories, not your stuff.
Why I do this work
Moving Memories is dedicated to the memory of my dear Dad, Tony Parker. After losing Dad at just 78 years young in 2018 without saving his stories, I wanted to help families preserve their family stories on video.
Too many stories get lost when family members pass away, but recording stories on video keeps these stories alive – and families get to see and hear the stories directly from the storyteller. They get to experience their voices, mannerisms, facial expressions, quirks and personality.
I want everyone to have the opportunity to save stories and precious memories of loved ones so they don’t get lost or forgotten. For more about me, go to the About Me page.

What my clients say
“I was so glad to find a company that made videos of life stories, as I had been keen to get my father-in-law’s childhood war stories documented.
Finding Nicola was a godsend and relief. I was a bit nervous, but she was so kind and understanding and came up with lots of ideas to get what we could, despite Dad’s dementia.”
