No one plans to get married during a pandemic, but Abe and Shelby made it look natural. They distilled who they are and what their love means into a beautiful ceremony at the Charlotte Partridge Ordway Japanese Garden on October 2, 2020. I have known Abe for a decade, and it was an honor to witness and capture the marriage of these two thoughtful, graceful, easy-going humans. The serene location reflected their love of plants, gardening and bonsai trees. A few close family and friends were physically there, with Zoom bringing the vows to households from a safer distance. Abe read Shelby a Pablo Neruda poem and Shelby recited Barry White lyrics to Abe. It was an intimate and powerful moment.
