The Lighthouse at Glen Cove Marina Wedding » Vallejo, California

Kim and Harrison's late autumn wedding at the Lighthouse at Glen Cove Marina in Vallejo was a celebration that perfectly balanced waterfront elegance with playful personal touches that told their unique love story. They chose the venue for its stunning location along the Carquinez Strait and its convenient accessibility for guests, offering both natural beauty and practical ease. The couple got ready on the property before sharing their first look on the pier. Kim wore her mother's vintage wedding shoes from the 1970s, while Harrison honored Korean tradition with Nike Wong Ang Duck shoes, inspired by the wooden ducks given to newlyweds in Korean culture. Their ceremony took place on the small side lawn of the Lighthouse, officiated by their friend Antonio, before guests were invited to cocktail hour along the pier. We snuck away for sunset portraits around the marina and along the trail with views of the Carquinez Bridge and the iconic C&H Sugar factory in Crockett glowing across the water. The couple transformed the indoor banquet room of the Lighthouse into a lush tropical disco party room with rented greenery, disco balls and lounge furniture, inspired by the venue's natural surroundings and their vision for a fun, vibrant celebration. Dinner was served outside on the expansive lawn, where toasts were punctuated by the family tradition of fireball shots that had everyone laughing and raising their mini bottles. Kim and Harrison wove their relationship into every detail: a skee-ball machine nodded to their first date where Kim dominated Harrison at the game, sweet kuih desserts from Batik and Baker honored Kim's Malaysian heritage, and late-night Taco Bell satisfied guests who partied into the evening. Their wedding proved that the best celebrations happen when you stop worrying about what a wedding "should" be and instead create something that feels authentically, unapologetically you.
