Here’s a wonderful email I got from Tara and Steven, about why they chose one of my ketubah designs for their wedding:
I did A LOT of research online only to find pieces that I found rather boring and mediocre (if not ugly!). I knew that we needed something a bit different to represent who we are. When I found your site, I was struck by the beauty of both your photographs and your words. Your ketubahs have a traditional element, which Steven and I love, yet there is something so unique about it. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was hard to decide which one we wanted, but something about the camellia flower and the words “this is my beloved, this is my friend” seemed perfect for our union.

Cora emailed me a couple weeks ago seeing if I had enough time to create their ketubah for their June wedding. When I said yes, she replied:
You just put a smile on my face. Yes, before I came across your Ketubah I was planning on getting the least expensive one and rolling it up never to look at it again. Then my Mother reminded me (as J-Mom’s always do), you always need to know where it is. So, in my last ditch attempt to find something that I could take pleasure in on my wall I did one more Google search and voila, I found you. We both love incredible photography. We love nature…. Thank you for creating something traditions that’s also unconventional.

I often ask my customers why they choose one of my designs for their ketubah. Here’s one response from Julie and Stephen:
We searched and looked around and all the traditional ketubahs looked very much the same. We wanted something beautiful but different to hang in our home and we have very modern taste. We both love photographs so your artwork matched exactly what we were looking for.

This morning I received this wonderful email from one of my customers:
(Our ketubah) is so beautiful! Mike and I read it to each other and it took everything I had not to cry on it. Thank you so much for adding so much beauty to our wedding and our lives.
– Lauren and Mike
What a great way to start the week!

I received another wonderful email from a customer of mine:
My husband and I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful ketubah. We were using your ketubah for our renewal of vows, as we had never signed a ketubah in our original interfaith wedding ceremony. The rabbi thought the ketubah was so beautiful that she incorporated it into the service! Rather than have it signed in a private room as is usually the case, she called all of our guests onto the bimah to see it, read it aloud, and had a public signing. Your ketubah was one of the most complimented parts of our special day and will serve as a beautiful reminder of our renewal for years to come. Thank you. It was a pleasure to work with you from beginning to end and if the rave reviews were any indication, we may be sending some future customers your way!

I recently received the nicest emails from a customer of mine:
It’s been almost a year since you’ve heard from us but I had to follow up with you. Recently, Michael and I bought our first home. We both agreed that the first thing we needed to do was hang our beautiful ketubah over the fireplace. It looks amazing and we are so proud of it. Having it there for us to appreciate countless times during the day, everyday, has really made a house our home. Thank you again — we are, obviously, still very happy with our ketubah — thought you should know.
- Melissa and Michael
Comments like these remind me of what I love about making ketubot. Unlike any other form of art, I get the chance to create something that symbolizes one of the most important days in the lives of my customers. And that makes me feel both very humble, and very lucky.
