About
The storyteller behind the lens
Canadian Armed Forces veteran, former NCAA athlete and videographer, based in Fernie, BC and Hinton, AB.
Stories are the heartbeat of everything I film: the rides, the ranch work, the wild places, the game-winning goals, the laughter, and the faith that carries us through it all.
I'm Belina Hooper, a Royal Canadian Air Force veteran turned videographer and photographer, based in Fernie, BC and Hinton, Alberta. I believe God places callings on our hearts, and mine is to capture the stories that matter before they fade: the people, the work, and the moments that make a life worth living.
That calling built Western Cowboy Chronicles, and it has grown into Belina Hooper Media: sports and events, wildlife and the backcountry through Wanderlust Heart Media, and brand and tourism films across the Rockies.
When I'm not filming, I'm usually on Fernie's trails, skiing at Fernie or Marmot Basin, or playing hockey in Hinton.
“Because someday, someone will look back on this and feel everything all over again.”
