About this experience
Some anniversaries are about more than one evening. They are a chance to bring together the people, memories, and moments that have shaped the years in between.
We capture the celebration as it naturally unfolds, from the excitement and energy of the gathering to the quieter moments before and after. Nothing is overly staged or directed; we let the people, conversations, laughter, and emotions tell the story.
You can also share your own archive photographs and home footage with us. We carefully weave these into the film, creating a story that moves between where you began, where you are now, and all the memories in between.
The result is a deeply personal film that celebrates not just the occasion, but the years, relationships, and life behind it.

02 · The Process
How it works
Four stages, and only one of them is your holiday. Permits, scheduling and the edit are ours.
- 01
Consultation & Planning
The director who will shoot the trip plans the itinerary with you.
- Video call with the director
- Itinerary and film planned together
- Locations shortlisted by hour of day
- Deliverables agreed before we quote
- 02
Pre-Production
We obtain the permits and confirm the locations, then build the schedule around what clears.
- Filming permits applied for
- Drone clearances, location by location
- Call times set against sunrise and sunset
- Venues, hotels and stylists briefed
- 03

Questions
Before you book
How far in advance should I book?
At least 4-6 weeks for shoots within the UAE and 8-10 weeks for international destinations. That allows time for planning, permits and coordination.
Can I choose the music for my film?
Yes. We cut to licensed tracks, and the time to send us the ones you like is before the edit starts rather than after. A specific commercial track may carry its own licensing fee, quoted separately — we do not deliver a film with an uncleared track on it.
How long will it take to receive the final film?
It depends on the production: two to three days for a single-day shoot, up to ten to fourteen days for a full travel film. The window is listed on every product. You receive preview clips within 48 hours of the shoot either way.
What if the weather is bad during our shoot?
We re-order the day rather than lose it — interiors and covered locations move up the call sheet, and the drone stays on the ground until the wind drops. If conditions are genuinely unsafe we reschedule the affected portion at no extra cost.
Do you travel internationally?
Yes, worldwide. International shoots carry additional crew travel and accommodation costs, quoted separately based on the destination.
