Jessica & Gary’s August Garden Party Wedding at Fern Hill Barn


Jessica and Gary’s August wedding at Fern Hill Barn in Spencer, MA, was a true summer celebration surrounded by the people who mean the most to them. Jessica looked stunning in her floral gown—we always love a dress that isn’t white! The couple shared a sweet first look followed by private vows, giving them a chance to soak in the moment before joining family and wedding party portraits ahead of the ceremony.


Gary’s cousin officiated the ceremony and set the perfect tone for the day. With a family friend DJ keeping the dance floor lively, a family-made cake, and florals designed by loved ones, this wedding was filled with meaningful contributions that made it even more special. Their garden party theme came through beautifully with floral accents on the cake, light blue bridesmaid dresses, dark gray suits, and touches of blue and green throughout the tent.


We explored all the Fern Hill Barn grounds with Jessica and Gary—from the fern fields and the iconic swing to the greenhouse and gardens. Their joy carried through the entire day, right into the evening celebrations with family and friends.
