Adam and Lala got married on August 1, 2026, at the Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley, California, with a ceremony beneath the redwoods and a party that went late into the night.

The celebration started the night before with a welcome dinner in Sausalito.

It was a day full of family and friends, filtered redwood light and a whole lot of dancing, photographed on both film and digital.
