B.E. Strong Annual Charity Golf Tournament — Event Photography, Video & Drone Coverage
On June 28, 2026, Ogi Optics had the privilege of covering the B.E. Strong Annual Charity Golf Tournament — one of the most meaningful shoots we have had the opportunity to be part of.
B.E. Strong was founded by Josh Banke, who was born with bladder exstrophy — a rare condition affecting 1 in 50,000 children. After more than 35 surgeries throughout his life, Josh built B.E. Strong to give children facing the same condition something powerful: hope, strength, and a community that tells them their diagnosis does not define them.
The event took place at a golf course in the Chicagoland area and brought together golfers, donors, community members, and supporters for a full day of golf, games, prize giveaways, food, and speeches from Josh himself. Ogi Optics was trusted to capture all of it.
What Was Included in This Coverage
Full event photography capturing golfers, guests, candid moments, games, prize giveaways, and the energy of the day
Event video coverage documenting the tournament, speeches, and community atmosphere
Aerial drone footage of the golf course and event grounds
Interviews capturing personal stories and the heart of the B.E. Strong mission
Visual Story Approach
The goal of this shoot was to document a day that deserved to be remembered — not just photographed. Every moment, from the first tee-off to Josh's speeches, was captured with the intention of preserving what made this event meaningful. Drone footage established the scale of the event and the beauty of the course. Photography and video moved through the day capturing the energy, the connections, and the community that showed up because they believed in something bigger than themselves. Interviews gave the people behind the mission a chance to tell their own story.
Why This Approach Works
Events like the B.E. Strong golf tournament are built on community and story. The media that documents them needs to capture both — not just the surface-level moments, but the emotion and meaning underneath them. At Ogi Optics, we bring the same level of intentionality to event coverage that we bring to every listing shoot. The result is media that does more than document a day. It preserves it.
