A short call
A 30-minute chat with Chris to plan the session and put the guest at ease.
Capture your loved one's life story
as a professional video and audio recording
An enjoyable two hours of their time. A keepsake your family will treasure forever.
Hosted by broadcaster Chris Grimes, who has put 250+ guests at ease in front of the microphone. Beautifully edited, professionally produced, and yours to keep.
A heartfelt conversation
A 60–90 minute conversation that becomes a beautifully made video and audio.
This is a guided storytelling session for someone whose life deserves to be remembered properly. A parent. A grandparent. A mentor. Or yourself.
You don't need to be a natural storyteller. Chris does the work of drawing out the moments that matter — the funny ones, the formative ones, the ones that explain who someone became and why.
What you walk away with is a professionally edited video and audio recording. A keepsake that captures someone's voice, laugh, and stories — exactly as they are right now.

"Cheers to a good life..." - Colin Grimes
Why I started doing this
An early inspiration behind ‘Legacy Life Reflections’ came from my own father, Colin Grimes, who sadly passed away recently aged in his late 80s. I recorded Dad in the 'Halcyon Days' of his life, before he slipped into a crater of declining health.
“When we lose that special someone, what we often miss the most is the sound of their voice. Only now, with Dad no longer with us, do I understand how precious that recording is.”
I started Legacy: Life Reflections so other families could have what mine has.

Feedback from guests
The feedback received through testimonials from Chris’s previous guests warmly reflect their enjoyment of the experience:
Sample story...
A life born in the Blitz. A career spanning the golden age of advertising. Three siblings lost to tragedy. And grandchildren who'll one day hear their grandfather tell it all — in his own voice. This is Reg Starkey's story.
‘For family and anyone who’s interested’
“I enjoyed sharing my emotions and life events that were important to me. I did this for my children and anyone else who’s interested.”
- Retd Financier Peter Curtiss who lived in 30 countries
‘An amazing, inspired opportunity’
“You cannot underestimate how important it is to give people an opportunity to be heard, in any form. Ultimately, all we have are our stories. If no one hears them, did we ever exist?! What you are doing offers an amazing, inspired opportunity.”
- Cate Russell, former Health Sector CEO
‘Your format gave me a unique focus’
“Your extraordinary story-telling format brought looking back on my life a unique focus. My children loved it and so did I.”
- Reg Starkey, former UK Advertising Executive
Why now?
Don’t wait until these stories are harder to capture—now is the perfect time to preserve the memories that make your family unique.
Most people who book Legacy: Life Reflections tell us the same thing afterwards: they wish they'd done it sooner.
Voices change. Memories soften. Health shifts in ways nobody predicts. The stories that feel obvious now — the ones you assume you'll always remember — are the easiest ones to lose.
