Since moving out to San Clemente two years ago I have fallen in love with so many different Southern California wedding venues for different reasons. But if I’m being 100% honest with you, each one of them has a pro’s & con’s list. It’s hard for one venue to simply check all the boxes but Agápe 1928 in San Clemente may just be ✨that venue✨….which coming from the girl whose been photographing weddings for over a decade now is saying *a lot*
As a girl with a deep love for well designed, thoughtful spaces I wanted to highlight a few personal stand outs that really sets this venue apart!
-The bridal suite!!!!! yes, for the fact that it’s absolutely stunning + has so many aesthetic details but also because it’s soo spacious and practical for a getting readd space. It literally has a full on kitchen included which is just chefs kiss
-Every square inch of this venue (on the inside and out) is so thoughtfully designed. it’s super functional, photo friendly and has endless photo op “moments” to give you a ton of variety in your portraits. AKA a photographers dream!!!
-The beach is only .5 miles away…need I say more?? (scroll to the end if you want to see some of L&K’s newlywed romantics taken at North Beach )
Lexi & Kel said “I do” on the first of June and their wedding celebration was nothing shy of gorgeous!!! These two just radiate when they’re together and I think I could photograph their love all. day. long. It was such a joy getting to document one of the sweetest chapters in their love story and I am so excited to show you a peek into their dream day!
