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.

Today was one of those days.  One of those days when the light couldn't have been any better. We even had clouds.  Yes, clouds.  Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to live here.  Today I remembered.

I'm off to LA in the morning to shoot a fantastically rad wedding with Rachel Thurston.  If you happen to be at the Biltmore or Cafe Pinot - holla.

Dave and Vanessa have a unique story.  Although they are dressed in their wedding attire, do not be fooled, for today they did not wed.  I'll give you the full scoop in a few days.  Just sit tight.

I'm off to Havasupai Falls for the first time and couldn't be more excited.  See you all in a few days.

Don't pull your hair out while I'm gone.

During my last trip to Salt Lake City, I met up with the super talented and rad Courtney Winnie for some shaved ice and photo expedition.  It's always fun to meet up with other photographers and try out some new things.  I'm a firm believer in the importance of shooting for yourself - and doing it OFTEN.  It really helps to keep the creativity flowing.

Courtney is a photographer currently in SLC, but relocating to Orange County.  We can't wait to welcome her here with open arms.

Do you like shoes?  Do you like to pay less than $30 for a pair of shoes?  Look no further than Twigg Shoes.  My friends Ryan and Erica are putting together a new company that is surely going to do well.

They came down to Huntington Beach the other day to snap some photos for their new website and marketing materials.  Big thanks to Lisa, Arin, Erin, and Becky for being such wonderful models, and having such killer legs.  They are oozing with hawteness.  Boom.

I just started downloading the images from today's wedding and am blown away at the radness of Chris and Nicole.  They were so cool and chill all day.  Their families and friends were super cool and so much fun to be with.  I even had my good buddy, Ryan Finck with me to capture some different angles.

Stay tuned for plenty more radness from this couple.  We even brought out the Photobooth out for a bit.

Have fun in Cabo you two.
