"This was a gift for my husband. It has our first dance song on it. Thank you so much for your service. Will definitely recommend you again" Kirsty

"The box provided a lot of comfort for Kelsey when she came home and saw the package. She loves it just as much as I love the one she got me. Very unfortunate circumstances with two important people passing in our lives in such a short space of time. So having these memory boxes are a great way to keep their memory going. Thank you again for this service, it’s a great thing you’re doing and I wish you all the success in the future." - Bartosz G

"I saw an example memory box at a local expo and thought it would make a great present for my husband’s 50th birthday. And I was right!  There’s something really special about capturing the voices and memories of the special people in someone’s life and to have those for ever. I would definitely recommend a memory box for a special birthday!”  - Louise B

"I wanted to create something  special for my kids so they have a recording of my voice telling them how much I love them and how proud I am of them.  I could have written them a letter for the future, but I thought it would be better to record it.  I'm so glad I did as they love it and it's an insurance policy for us all.”  - John S

ABOUT US

Hi!  I'm John and I'm based here in Suffolk (UK).  I am passionate about helping people to record, preserve and celebrate their life stories. Since 2015, I have helped people of all ages to record their personal stories. I believe that our voice is a unique and special part of who we are and therefore recording voices is an important part of preserving life memories.  

My company, Chronicle, has been working in the UK since 2015, but our history goes back much further.  We have worked with countless people from all walks of life and of all ages to help preserve their stories and memories (our oldest participant was 101).  We also work with respected organisations such as the Suffolk Archives, local museums, and BT on story based community projects.  

The idea for the Snapshot Memory Box arose as I continually explored new ways to allow people to preserve and enjoy their stories in a simple way.   Every Box is thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted to combine tradition with innovation. Rooted in a respect for memory-keeping, my work blends the artistry of personalised design with high quality audio technology, creating pieces that are both meaningful and enduring. From weddings and anniversaries to remembrance and legacy gifts, each box is made to last as a keepsake. Our story continues to grow internationally, but our values remain the same: craftsmanship, care, and the belief that voices and memories deserve to be preserved beautifully.

We are based in the UK.

Our audio memory frames make meaningful gifts for every occasion — from a traditional 5th wedding anniversary wood gift to a thoughtful present for grandparents, friends, or colleagues. They can be used as talking photo frames or interactive picture frames with sound, allowing you to preserve voicemails, record personal messages, or add music to a favourite photo. Families often choose them as bereavement or memorial keepsakes, dementia support gifts, or ways to bring comfort in care homes and hospitals. They’re also perfect as corporate gifts with sound or even as museum and exhibition audio displays. Whatever the occasion, an audio picture frame offers a unique way to capture voices, memories, and moments that last a lifetime.
