Surprise Family Photos and Video in Edenmore Golf and Country Club
Surprise Family Photos and Video in Edenmore Golf and Country Club, Craigavon with Ben as he's off to the Navy, as I was booked for their get-together.
Surprise family Pictures and Video with the two mums and the son
Edenmore Golf & Country Club is a golf course in Craigavon, offering an 18-hole parkland course, a country club, restaurant, spa, and accommodation facilities. It has a very peaceful setting, as you’d expect and plenty of car parking. Edemore House would make a great place for an event or family gathering. There is also a gym, spa facilities, and a restaurant.
Dee booked me for Ben’s going-away surprise party with the family, and as I was booked for both solo (meaning one person) photos and videos throughout the evening in The Kircassock Suite, I had to discuss with Dee what she wanted me to photograph or film, as I obviously couldn’t do both at the same time. I took photos and filmed some video of the setup before any guests arrived, including decorations and cake. With photos, you need a flash, or else everyone will be too dark. Lighting would be dreadful for photos. When the guests finally arrived, I organised the guests’ photos with Ben and his family and then other family members.
We took photos in a corner of the room, and then some of Ben’s friends did too. The Curious Fox had a buffet, and the food was beautiful. There was a speech by Dee, Ben’s mum, showing old photos, so I needed to film this. Really, if there was anything audio like a speech, this needed to be filmed. Two cameras were recording for this part of the evening in case I needed wide footage. One filming wide on a tripod, and my own is on a monopod, so I can easily move. This was fun to hear, and some of the guests laughed throughout.
Afterwards, a policeman interrupted things as he was enquiring about a vehicle that just happened to be Ben's. After a few seconds, the policeman burst into song and a bit of fun, all part of the act by singing waiters Cameoflage, so stay until the end of the video for this! Towards the end of the evening, as I had to go, we got all the guests together for a group picture. For family photography and video, I tried to think of different angles to break things up a bit, wide, medium and close-ups. All the best with your future.
