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.

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.

Brandon and Coco were a dream to work with.  There were one of the happiest couples I've ever seen. Here are some of my favorite shots:


Also, big thanks to Bethany Murphy for coming along as my second shooter.  Be sure and check out her work, she's rad.

Last month I had the great pleasure of working with the talented Rachel Thurston at one of her weddings.  It was so nice to be a second shooter at a wedding for once.  No pressure, no list of shots to get, just look for different angles and shoot something different.  AWESOME.  I loved it.  And working with Rachel and her husband Grant was first class.  They are bad-to-the-bone and I hope to work with them in the future.

I started the day out shooting the groom with his family at Cafe Pinot before the ceremony.  The families and friends in attendance were some of the nicest people ever.  Everyone greeted us with a smile and went out of their way to make us feel appreciated.  I'm glad I could be there.

Photographer:  Rachel Thurston
2nd Photographer:  Mike Cunningham

3 shoots in 2 days.  It was an awesome weekend.

I started things off Friday night shooting for ocRAMPS.com at their warehouse in Santa Ana.  The skating was insane and you're not going to believe the hammers these guys were throwing down.  And yes, he landed it.  Several times.

Friday night was super fun, but the couple I met Saturday morning in Rancho Palos Verdes for an engagement session really stole the show.  They are two of THE raddest people ever and I'm overwhelmed with excitement to shoot their wedding in North Lake Tahoe this summer.  Here's a sneak peek at my new friends Megan and Dave:

After I finished the eSession, it was off to Terranea Resort to shoot the corporate retreat of Knobbe Martens, the Kings of Intellectual Property Law and all other important things intangibly protectable.  It was an amazing indoor/outdoor production that was nothing short of top-notch.

Basically what I'm trying to say is.....it's going to be a good week on the blog.  Come back and visit.

Ten years ago I met a great friend.  That friend now has a beautiful wife, an even more beautiful daughter, and a son that will join the clan in January.  They are an awesome family and I'm so lucky to know them.  We snapped a few quick shots on Sunday morning before I left and I'm glad we did.  Check it.


Little Tessa just melts my heart.  If she were my daughter, I'd buy her anything she wanted.  All she would have to do is look at me and smile and I'd gladly hand over the wallet.  I'm screwed.
