If ever there was a wedding that captured the magic of summer and the intimacy of heartfelt details, it was Megan and Russell’s summer solstice wedding at Smith College in Northampton, MA. Surrounded by loved ones and the natural beauty of New England in June, this wedding was a perfect blend of timeless elegance and deeply personal moments.

First Look in the Capen Garden

Megan and Russell shared their first look in the stunning Capen Garden at Smith College. It is a lush, private haven filled with blooms and serenity. The garden's romantic setting offered the perfect backdrop for this quiet moment before the festivities began.

Outdoor Ceremony Overlooking the Mill River

As the sun lingered in the sky on the longest day of the year, the couple exchanged vows in a heartfelt outdoor ceremony overlooking the peaceful Mill River. The sun light danced through the trees enhancing this dreamy moment! With summer in full bloom, nature itself seemed to celebrate their union.

Thoughtful Details and Family Touches

Every element of the day was infused with simplicity and love. One of the most touching details? The gorgeous peonies in the floral arrangements (Grown with love by the bride's mother) These meaningful blooms added a deeply personal touch and reflected the spirit of the day: natural, beautiful, and lovingly curated.

Elegant Reception at Smith College Conference Center

The celebration continued at the Smith College Conference Center. The venue's modern charm offered a seamless blend of comfort and sophistication, allowing the couple and their guests to relax and enjoy the evening.

Why This Summer Solstice Wedding Stands Out

From the first look in Capen Garden to the riverside ceremony and the heartfelt reception, Megan and Russell’s wedding was a celebration of love, light, and the power of simple moments shared with the people who matter most. It’s weddings like theirs that remind us how powerful a beautifully planned, deeply personal celebration can be.
