Outdoor Art Club Wedding
Lauren and Lance’s Outdoor Art Club wedding in Mill Valley was such a treat to be a part of. These two saw each other for the first time in the redwoods near the home they rented and close by to the ceremony and reception venues (the perfect spot!) in a little redwood park in Mill Valley. They met their wedding party in the redwoods as well, took lots of photos, and then headed up to Old St. Hilary’s Church for their sweet ceremony. This spot is gorgeous; I don’t photograph a ton of church ceremonies, but if you want one, check out this place. It’s a historic, all wood church and it has so much character, plus it’s damn cute inside and outside. On top of that!!! It has gorgeous natural light inside: Truly lovely and magical. I loved their bubble exit, surrounded by family and friends and with an epic view of the San Francisco Bay. From there we headed to the Outdoor Art Club for a lovely, simple, beautiful, and relaxed wedding reception. The perfect wedding! xx
Ceremony Location: Old St. Hilary’s From the chapel’s website: “Wildflowers surround Old St. Hilary’s, Tiburon’s iconic hillside landmark, which was originally a mission church named for St. Hilaire, Bishop of Poitiers. The heirs of John Reed—who held title to El Rancho Corte Madera del Presidio, the Mexican land grant that included the Tiburon Peninsula—deeded the one-quarter acre site for $2 to the Archdiocese of San Francisco, which built the church as a place of worship for local railroad workers in 1888.” source Reception Venue: The Outdoor Art Club
I love a good Outdoor Art Club wedding: The space is gorgeous and their building and garden are just really lovely for an intimate wedding.
From the venue’s website: “The Outdoor Art Club is a private, nonprofit women’s organization which was formed in 1902. Our mission is “To preserve the natural scenery of Mill Valley and the surrounding country, to beautify the grounds around public buildings, to work against the wanton destruction of birds and game, to encourage the development of outdoor art and to engage in other civic, literary and charitable work.”” (source)
