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 and Vanessa just plain rock.  That's all there is to it.

I shot their engagement photos over a year ago, but was unable to shoot their wedding.  Long story short, they wished I had been there so much, they hired me to "reshoot" their wedding photos.

The day we went to shoot at the Newport Beach Temple, the light kept changing on us, but in a good way.  One minute the light would be awesome, then it would change to EYE-gasmic.  We couldn't have picked a better day.  Enjoy.

I've never met two people more in love on their wedding day.  These two were such a dream to be with.  Here's to B + CoCo on a fantastic wedding day.

Learned a new trick tonight thanks to the awesome Brittany and Andy.  What do you do when you have a restless one year old that you're trying to photograph?  Turn on the music to your iPhone and let them jam out.  GENIUS!!!  I love my clients.

Just got back from Utah.  Don't get me started on my Cougar's shameful loss to FSU....bust.

On a more positive note, I spent an awesome afternoon with the folks of Spider Spray.  They are super rad people and great to work with.  Check out their website in the coming weeks for some Digital Orange Images.  Hollar.

Jono and Shelly have been killing it for years now.  They are an awesome couple and have 3 of the raddest kids.  We had a blast shooting their family portraits last night here in Huntington.  

I'm so stoked on the shopping cart image.  Often times when I'm shooting, I'll find random odds and ends that I like to incorporate into the images.  Why?  Cause they're cool and different.  How many people do you know that have an abandoned shopping cart in their family portraits?  BOOM.

Some of your best work, and quite possibly the cutest kids I've ever seen.

Well done
