Video Keepsakes is a Cobden-based producer of personal Life Story films. For people searching for life story videos Cobden Ontario, its current official website describes guided recorded interviews that are edited with photos, music and, depending on the package, footage from meaningful locations.

The business’s current focus is on preserving an individual’s or couple’s memories, voice and family legacy. Its site notes that the operator previously spent more than 20 years as a wedding videographer, but the published service information is for Life Story Videos rather than current wedding-film coverage. Last reviewed: August 10, 2026.

Current business profile

Video Keepsakes is currently presented on its official website as “Personal Life Stories” and as a creator of Life Story films. The business says it is based in Cobden, Ontario and can also work worldwide by Zoom. Its About / Contact page describes a background in radio broadcasting as well as more than 20 years of wedding videography, now applied to recording and shaping life stories.

This distinction matters for this existing Canada Wedding Guide listing. The current site confirms a professional video-storytelling service and a past wedding-videography career, but it does not list a current wedding-video collection, wedding deliverables or wedding-specific booking details.

Services and specialization

The published process begins with a pre-production meeting. Video Keepsakes says this is used to discuss the person’s story, develop tailored interview questions and identify photos, home video or memorabilia to include. The recording can take place at a home or business, remotely by Zoom or in a studio for the Reflections option; the Retrospective option may include additional on-site sessions.

Post-production is described as combining the interview footage with soft background music and photos. The result is delivered on a thumb drive and as a downloadable file. The focus is documentary-style personal storytelling, including material such as home movies, awards, articles, drawings or keepsakes when applicable.

Reflections — a guided, professionally filmed interview edited with pictures and music.
Retrospective — a more in-depth documentary-style film incorporating an interview, photos, significant locations and short interviews with important people in the subject’s life.

Service area and who it may suit

Video Keepsakes states that it is based in Cobden and serves the Ottawa Valley, Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. Its published coverage examples include Deep River, Chalk River, Petawawa, Pembroke, Beachburg, Renfrew, Arnprior, Eganville, Barry’s Bay, Combermere, Chapeau, Shawville, Quyon, Fort Coulonge, Ottawa and surrounding areas. It also states that it is available worldwide via Zoom.

The documented service may suit an individual, couple or family wanting a guided recorded account of memories and personal history. The Retrospective option may be relevant where the story includes locations of personal significance or contributions from family and friends. These are life-story films; the site does not make a current claim about wedding-day filming.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the structured interview-led approach. The business says it prepares tailored questions in advance and guides the conversation naturally, which can help someone who does not wish to prepare a formal speech. Both published packages list professional cameras, microphones and lighting, while the longer option includes additional-location shoots.

The official pages do not publish a street or studio address, turnaround time, video duration, revision policy, deposit terms or availability. They also do not publish a current wedding-videography service. These are practical items to verify before making plans or relying on this listing for wedding coverage.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published for the two Life Story Video packages. Reflections is listed at $1,500 for one person or $1,700 for a couple. It includes one seated interview of up to two hours, up to 50 photos, professional recording equipment and delivery on a thumb drive plus a downloadable file.

Retrospective is listed at $5,500 for one person or $6,200 for a couple. The site says this option includes one seated interview of up to three hours, up to 70 photos, additional shoots at meaningful locations, short interviews with important people, and selected archival or keepsake materials where available. Confirm taxes, travel charges, scope and any custom additions directly with Video Keepsakes, as these details are not published.

Contact and booking

The official website lists info@videokeepsakes.ca and 613-633-9765 for enquiries. It invites prospective clients to get started by phone or email. No public booking calendar, address or stated response-time commitment appears on the official pages reviewed.

For a Life Story Video, a useful first conversation would cover the preferred setting for the interview, who will participate, available photos or home-video material, desired locations and the intended audience for the finished film.

What couples should confirm

Because this page began as a wedding-videography listing but the confirmed current website promotes Life Story Videos, couples should first ask whether Video Keepsakes is accepting wedding-videography commissions today. A past professional background does not confirm current wedding-date availability, packages or wedding deliverables.

If enquiring about a Life Story Video for parents, grandparents or another family member around a wedding or reunion, confirm the appropriate package, filming format, travel requirements, materials that can be incorporated, timeline, revision process, final running time, ownership and sharing permissions, total price and payment terms.
