Joe and Alli are mathematicians. And not just any regular ole math geeks who know everything there is to know about calculus. They are the certain type that do this type of theoretical mathematics - but in a practical application. Pretty awesome stuff, and way over my head. Either way it's incredibly cool hearing what they're doing with their work, and made for some good discussion over dinner. We spent some time the night before getting to know each other better, and I had a great time seeing them both interact. Very genuine personalities with a unique outlook on life and each other, something that is a joy for me as a photographer to witness.

We shot around for an afternoon in the West Village and Upper West Side where they have spent much of their time together over the past few years, including near Columbia University, which is where they met and studied.

Definitely looking forward to their wedding day in August, I'm sure I'll be surrounded by some pretty intelligent people...hopefully it might rub off...we'll see!
