Happy Faces 2012 Launch Banner, Corin Bishop Photography
As part of IPPA Happy Faces in association with Canon, Corin Bishop Photography is organising a Happy Faces weekend which promises to be a fun event in the Athlone Town Centre, with 100% of proceeds supporting Jack & Jill families. This will be the fourth year that Corin has been involved in the national Happy Faces charity fundraiser and he is hoping to make it bigger and better than before, raising essential funds for the Jack & Jill Foundation. With the support of the people of Athlone and the Midlands, Corin has to date taken over 400 portraits and raised over €12,000 for charity. Nationally the IPPA Happy Faces event has raised almost €280,000 since 2006 through the hard work and enthusiasm of professional photographers nationwide. This year a record number of 110 professional photographers nationwide have already signed up to IPPA Happy Faces which takes place in April 2012.
Well known musician Simon Casey and Athlone Mayor Alan Shaw have both given their support to the Happy Faces Event this year. Athlone Town Centre have been a tremendous support over the last three years, helping to make the event a great success.

To celebrate the fantastic contribution the local people have made over the past years, Corin Bishop Photography will be displaying a collage of 400+ portraits taken over the last three years. The display will be up in the Athlone Town Centre shortly after St. Patricks Day weekend.
For a €25 donation to The Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation you receive the gift of an individual portrait mini-session and a desk-size portrait. 100% of every donation will be paid directly to The Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation. All costs for this charity event are being donated by participating photographers. No appointment is necessary although please bear in mind that it could get quite busy around midday. Anyone can have their portrait taken, young and old!

I’m just back from Dublin where I was awarded the Best Contemporary Wedding Portfolio 2012 at the Irish Professional Photographers Association (IPPA) awards at the Burlington. Obviously I’m totally chuffed to win, there was a lot of stiff competition.
I’ve talked about my New York wedding before. You can read all about it here. So I won’t go over again too much.
It was a bit of a risk to enter images all from the SAME wedding but I thought they worked really well together.
So all the images together, one wedding, one panel.

January is now out of the way (phew!) and we’re heading rapidly towards Spring and First Holy Communion season!
At Corin Bishop Photography we have always done a great portrait package offer for first Holy Communion and we’ll be doing the same this year. However if you read to the end of this blog post you’ll find details of a little gift that can save you a little bit more!

For the photography geeks among reading I’ll tell you that one of the reasons I remember this wedding is because it was the first wedding where I used a lot of ‘live-view’ on the camera. It allowed me to get more unusual angles while being absolutely sure of the focus, exposure and composition. I found it a very refreshing way to work.
The church was Ballaghadereen, County Roscommon. Actually it was a Cathedral and quite a nice one too.. The reception was in the excellent Lough Rynn Hotel. I’m a huge fan of Lough Rynn. It has everything going for it. As well as gorgeous grounds and the walled garden the hotel itself is wonderful. The old part of the buildings date back to some time a long time ago (!!) and they’ve extended it to add more rooms and function room. The way the new parts have been integrated from the old to the new has been done very well. There are loads of places for photographs in good weather and bad. The staff are fantastic and helpful. Well, you get the idea! Check them out on www.loughrynn.ie
On to the pictures…. Laura and Conor were brill to work with. Very relaxed and good fun. Conor had joked before the wedding that while the pictures were being done he would be in the bar. So just in case that happened Laura made up a life size cardboard cut-out of Conor!
Anyway, enjoy the rest of the pictures.
