Tom Ham’s Lighthouse Wedding | Samantha & Solange
Tom Ham’s Lighthouse Wedding Overlooking the San Diego Bay
Samantha and Solange’s wedding at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse was joyful, warm, and charming as the couple themselves. With panoramic views of the San Diego skyline and harbor, their day combined elegance, authenticity, and a true sense of community—and reflected a couple who light up any room they enter.
A Celebration of Love and Community
Planned flawlessly by Radleigh + Sage, the day began at a nearby hotel, where the brides got ready in separate suites, surrounded by their best friends. Samantha wore a timeless Enzoani gown, while Solange’s opted for a custom-tailored Duchess Clothier suit—two distinct styles that perfectly reflected their personalities and matched effortlessly.
Before their first kiss, they shared a playful and symbolic first shot together, a unique moment that set the tone for the rest of the day: heartfelt, celebratory, and unapologetically true to themselves. Their vows, officiated by Officiant Donna—who specializes in San Diego LGBTQ+ weddings—, were filled with tenderness and humor.
Coastal Charm at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse
The ceremony space overlooked sparkling San Diego Bay, framed by lush arrangements from H Floral Studio in soft, romantic tones. The warm golden light of the afternoon lit up the skyline behind them.
As the sun set, the celebration moved indoors for a lively reception. Guests enjoyed dinner, heartfelt toasts, dancing to beats by DJ Dolorosa, and desserts from Babycakes San Diego. Every detail—from skyline views to candid dance floor moments—reflected a couple who value joy, connection, and a really good party, surrounded by the people who matter most to them.
