I just received this note from Betsy and Peter, a wonderful couple with a wonderful story:
We received your beautiful Ketubah and it’s wonderful. Thank you ever so much. Betsy had asked that I write you and provide feedback as to why we chose “non-traditional” artwork for our Ketubah. Maybe it’s because we’re a bit non-traditional (I’m Jewish, Betsy is not). Maybe it’s because of your fabulous uber bokeh-laden macro-photographic masterpieces of nature.
I just love that description of my art! “Fabulous über bokeh-laden macro-photographic masterpieces of nature.” If I was a 60′s rock band, I’d make that the title of my next album.
When Betsy first found your site after we were engaged* a year ago I looked at it and immediatley said, “Perfect”. I looked at the various text options and we both chose the one we did because we felt it said so much about us. That plus choosing one of your many magnificent photographs made it a most wonderful certification of our commitment to one another that we are proud to hang in our home.
You also made a fan of our Rabbi, who was totally blown away and will most likely recommend your site to the many couples who seek him out.
I aslo loved the story of how they got engaged, with its particularly modern twist:
The short story: she and I were best friends in high school but had never dated then lost touch for 39 years. Last year, both divorced, we found one another via Google and the rest is history.
Ah, the romance of the internet! I wish them both all the happiness they can handle and then some.
This is from Alan and Kari, who chose my African Lily Ketubah:
“Thank you for all that you have done. We chose this design because it is modern, and it honestly is a great piece of art that we are thrilled to hang in our house. It is not just a ketubah but truly it is artwork.”
It is always wonderful to hear from my customers, especially when they take the time to send a personal note. I love how Ruth and Paul perfectly expressed the meaning of the ketubah, as both a part of there ceremony, and as a part of their lives together:
“Thank you so much for the beautiful ketubah. It formed the basis of our efforts to incorporate traditional Jewish elements into our civil ceremony. We have framed the ketubah and it will hang in our family home to remind us of the promises we made to each other.”
I always love it when I hear from a bride and groom I made a ketubah for, and learn why they chose one of my designs. Beth and Jeremy, and interfaith and intercultural couple, just wrote me to tell me why the Horizon Ketubah was “perfect” for them:
We can’t thank you enough for making this amazing piece of art for us. When we began looking for a ketubah, we knew we wanted something different. We are an interfaith and intercultural couple and when we came across your website, we knew your designs were perfect for us. Not only did we fall in love with your photography, but we also felt deeply connected to your texts. We loved that many of your texts included beautiful language about honoring and learning about each other’s traditions. In fact, we love the text we chose so much that we are using some of it in our wedding vows. Thanks again for making this experience so special. We are so grateful that you do what you do!
Beth and Jeremy chose the Horizon Ketubah
One of my customers, Joey, just shared this description of why she chose my ketubah for her wedding:
“I have to be honest, I am not a “traditional” girl and that is why I was very drawn to your ketubah. I am an interior designer and so the way something looks is obviously very important to me. I love the simple nature of your work… it was honestly exactly what I was looking for. Something simple, modern and clean.”
