Ketubah Maven

When you’re planning your wedding, you want everything from your ring to the flowers to be unique and personal. As a photographer, I always prided myself in taking images and making custom albums for weddings that reflected the personalities and taste of each couple. On our site, The Wedding Picture, those are the kinds of photographers and vendors we love to promote and celebrate.

Recently, I ran across an artist who is a ketubah designer for her Jewish and interfaith clients. (A ketubah is a wedding contract whose history dates back to the second century) And I thought some of our visitors at The Wedding Picture would be interested in her services.

Her name is Leslie Pereira and she has a website called Ketubah Maven. A former social worker with a PHD, Leslie uses what she calls her “therapist skills” in active listening to help couples customize their own ketubot in words and images to capture the essence of their relationship. If you look at her website, you can see some samples of ketubot she has designed for her clients over the years.

Leslie and I were also talking about how couples can preserve their ketubah so they last for generations. Most couples like to frame their ketubah (and some of their wedding pictures, of course) and hang them in their home.

Always use archival matting and framing techniques to preserve your ketubah and wedding photos that you choose to display. For more information on preservation, read our article on our sister site, Will It Look Good Over The Sofa. And don't forget to read about archival framing and matting.

It’s always great to meet other creative people in the wedding industry.
Thanks Leslie!
