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.

I've been in Utah the past week taking some much needed time off.  Highlights included:

  • Lots of good food from Little Nance
  • Catching up with friends and family
  • Lots of couch time :)
  • And the annual Turkey Bowl with the fellas, pictured below

Lots of good things coming this week.  Stay tuned.

Warren likes to rock climb and listen to Sabotage by the Beastie Boys.

Erin likes to dance.  That should be a good precursor to the images you're about to see.

These two have been dear friends for several years now.  I love them both to death.  I've watched them meet, date, fall in love, break up, get back together, fall more madly in love, and now get engaged.  They are two of the raddest human beings ever and having them as close friends is such a blessing.

As you'll see, they aren't that half bad looking and there children will probably be the next Olsen twins, except taller, and hotter.

Two of my favorite people.  One of my favorite images.  Saturday's engagement session in Huntington Beach with Erin and Warren was insane.  Stay tuned for this one.

Ever heard of Intellectual Property?  Well it's kind of a big deal.  And Knobbe Martens is globally recognized as one of the industry leaders when it comes to intellectual property law.

I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with many of the country's brightest IP attorneys and scientists.  The venue was oozing with high LSAT scores and billing rates that rival mortgage payments.  I saw some pretty impressive TPS reports.

The Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes is one of those resorts I'd consider spending my left kidney on to get a room there for a night.  The place was insanely awesome and a fantastic venue.  The staff was top notch and very cooperative.  Too bad we spent most of the day in the banquet rooms :(

Another highlight from the day was hanging out with the who's who of Improv - ComedySportz.  These guys were a blast.  I was very impressed with how they taught the associates improvisation skills that will benefit them in the workplace.  James Bailey led the charge and did a fantastic job.


Once we finished inside, it was out to the back lawn that overlooked Catalina Island.  Everyone enjoyed cocktails, a lot of cocktails, until the sun set, then it was time for dinner and some more cocktails. 

Rumor has is it that a talented gal by the name of Aubrey Messick put together all the centerpieces last minute for every single table.  There were a LOT of tables.  Job well done.


After dinner, the folks from ComedySportz came back out on stage for a final performance and rocked the night away.  Good times.

Mike - One of the attendees commented to me, "I didn't even know we had a photographer there" and I want to pass that on to you b/c I think that is one of the best compliments you as a photographer could receive. Your obvious talent will garner business, but your professionalism will secure repeat clients. I have worked with photographers that I would not trust to do an event, but you did a terrific job capturing the event, required no-to minimal direction, and blended in with the group. Thank you - job well done.
