Some wedding days just flow — and Marilyn and Marco’s wedding at Agápe 1928 in San Clemente was exactly that. As an Orange County wedding photographer and videographer, I get to witness a lot of beautiful days, but this one stood out immediately for how intentional, emotional, and effortlessly joyful it felt. Marilyn and Marco’s wedding at Agápe 1928 in San Clemente was one of those days where everything felt intentional, emotional, and effortless. From the moment I arrived, I could feel how grounded and excited they were — not just about the celebration, but about each other. This day wasn’t about putting on a show. It was about being present, soaking it all in, and celebrating their story with the people who matter most.
