When I fist met Nikki and Owen and they were describing their wedding to me, it just didn’t seem to fit with their personalities – they seemed soooo serious. Wow was I wrong! Nikki and Owen met while attending Vassar College. So it seemed to make perfect sense that the place where they first met is where they planned to be married. A whimsical wedding theme was planned around sunflowers, purple and yellow, parasols, boating hats and seersucker suits for the bridal party. It was as it we had stepped back in time to the early 1900’s on the Vassar College Campus. Nikki and Owen did thier photo shoot about 2 hours before their ceremony. They had been laughing and comical while getting ready earlier that day and that mood just seemed to carry on throughout the day. I COULD NOT get a serious, straight face out of Owen – it just wasn’t happening! Evidently Owen doesn’t like the way he smiles, so he just laughs and makes faces all the time. I was hysterical and LOVED every moment I spent photographing these guys!
