INSPIRATION JOURNAL
Tracing Echoes & Reflections
Wildflower is more than a series of products. Instead, we see our work as a way of honoring memories through storytelling. Every day, we think about, read about, and reflect on finding joy in remembrance. While it’s easy to assume memorials focus only on the past, we believe remembrance is just as much about the present, about what makes a day special and how we hold onto these beautiful moments. So, if this resonates with you, you might appreciate our reflections on remembrance.

I know filming memorials isn’t typical, but I believe it should be. When loved ones gather, stories naturally surface — reflections, laughter, connections. Capturing these moments transforms absence into presence, preserving voices and gestures that might otherwise fade. A memorial documentary ensures remembrance lives beyond a single day and that’s a treasure, I think, many of us would want.

Why Dedicated Staff Makes Streaming Events Easy
1–2 minutesLive streaming seems simple until you realize how many things can go wrong. That’s why I believe in keeping setups lean—simplicity equals stability. A dedicated camera operator ensures a steady, clear feed, while an online moderator keeps virtual guests engaged. No matter where loved ones are, streaming brings everyone together in real time.

I’m on record as being a big fan of the humble Slideshow. I’ve written about how emotionally impactful a curated sequence of images can be, a fact not lost on some of the most respected voices in film. But while still images carry profound emotional weight, video storytelling deepens that impact, breathing life into memories with motion, voice, and presence.
