E + S | mill valley outdoor art club Wedding

E + S’s wedding at the Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley was a beautiful testament to laid-back love and the power of intimate celebrations. This sweet couple radiated warmth and affection, their focus firmly on each other and their closest friends and family. The day unfolded with a relaxed grace, starting with Emily getting ready alongside her best friends at a nearby hotel. Their first look at Old Mill Park was a such a lovely moment and set the tone for the heartfelt celebration to come.

The Outdoor Art Club, a hidden gem in downtown Mill Valley, provided the perfect backdrop for their intimate wedding. Built in 1904 and now a cherished landmark, its Arts and Crafts architecture and serene gardens created an atmosphere of timeless beauty. Despite its central location, the venue has a tucked-away-in-the-woods feel, with a grove of redwoods adding to its charm. As a photographer, I was in awe of how this unpretentious, welcoming space complemented Emily and Simon's desire for a stress-free celebration focused on love and community. Their day was a beautiful reminder of what truly matters in a wedding - the genuine moments, the heartfelt connections, and the joy of two people embarking on a lifelong journey together.
