This glorious event was the highlight of the Queer Berlin Spring!
Dear ones Gieza and Tomi celebrated their wedding at beautiful and historic Zionskirche in Berlin this May. I was honored to be there and doing documentary drawing.
The first drawing I have to share is ballet dancers Selene Laurent Halliwell, left, and Kai Immanuel Alonzo Braithwaite, right. These two artists illuminated the church with their grace and were a joy to draw.
The event videography was done by Tony Stewart, and the event photography was done by Jenkins Photography.

The Big Gay Wedding in May was the only non-medical indoor event I’ve been to in 2.5 years; it was extremely well ventilated at both venues and I was always N95/FFP3 masked. I was profoundly supported and cared for as a disabled person by the grooms and the community, and I am so grateful. It cost a LOT to get my disabled self there, in taxis & paying a kind carer for their time. It was worth it and my Patrons made it happen!
I am so grateful to my Patreon Patrons, whose monthly financial support makes it possible for me to continue documenting Berlin performers as a vaccinated but Covid-vulnerable disabled person.
