the digital orange photo blog I like to think of myself as a tuxedo t-shirt because I want to be formal, but really I'm here to party.  

I'm Mike Cunningham and this is my photo blog.

They baked me three bags of cookies.  I love them.  Check out the radness that is Meredith + Tanner from last night's engagement shoot.  And the sunflowers....yeah Meredith grew those herself - NBD.  Can't wait for the wedding in January.

On our way to Pismo Beach last weekend, we took a much needed pit stop at In-N-Out.  You just can't beat a Double Double animal style.  Happy Friday!

Remember the Hurst Family??  Well they have a new addition to the family - as Austin Healey Sprite Mark I Bugeye.  It's a rad little car and made for the perfect prop to use in their family Christmas card portrait.

Lisa - I used one light manually triggered and shot into an umbrella camera right. Notice the direction of the shadows falling off their legs.

I have a good friend.  His name is Tyler.  He is the Jedi force behind ocRAMPS.com.  He threw a killer party at their warehouse in Santa Ana and invited me to come out and shoot the event.  We had the Kogi truck out back, a bunch of bands, and plenty of Rockstars to keep the event pumping til the wee hours of the morning.

Fun fact - I got my first film camera back in high school so I could shoot me and my friends skateboarding and snowboarding.  I love shooting people and weddings, but the alternative sports are what got me started and I love it.

Do your kids, siblings, grandkids have a passion for an alternative sport?  You should probably hire me to shoot them.  I guarantee it will be the best gift they've ever received.  HINT - great Christmas gift idea for all you surfers, skaters, snowboarders, wakeboarders, BMX'ers and MotoX'ers.

Dave + Megan are a dream.  Coolest couple ever. 

We had such a good time during the engagement session on the cliffs of Rancho Palos Verdes and I'm THRILLED to have met them.  I can't wait to spend more time with them on their wedding day in Lake Tahoe.  

But for now, enjoy a few engagement photos.
