Dear Megan, you killed it all day. Dave is one lucky man.




A day with Mike Cunningham from mike cunningham on Vimeo.
I had the chance to work with Ryan Southwell from http://ryansouthwell.com on a wedding in Newport Beach. He was kind enough to create this short promo of me in my element.
His work is killer. Next time you need a wedding videographer, be sure and give him a call.
p.s. Back in my High School days, I memorized all 12 min of "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang. Good to know I can still break it down.
I stumbled upon your photography blog a while back... you don't know me but after watching that video, I wish we were friends. There is much more I can say about that.
You do great work and I am inspired (just diving into the photography world myself) every time I stop in to see your latest work.
(01.26.10)Thanks Nancy! Good luck on the new venture. You're going to love it. And let me know if you have any questions.
(01.26.10)Questions!? I have a million of course, but you seem like a busy guy (duh), sooo how about this- what is your best piece of advice for beginners such as myself? And how in the heck did you get so good? haha
(01.26.10)mike - this is a great video showing off some of you talents. besides taking incredible pics you're way fun to work with and really know how to work the crowd!!! what more could you ask for in a photographer?!!
(01.26.10)Um..Ive never felt this way about another man but that video makes me heart you....
(01.26.10)thats like the best thing i have ever seen...and i am thoroughly impressed that you knew all those words. now that is talent.
(01.26.10)THAT was impressive.
(01.27.10)Ryan is a friend of mine from Thousand Oaks.....he did my sister's wedding video, he is awesome!
(01.28.10)Mike, thats why we love you! Miss your ugly mug.
