ON HAND-CALLIGRAPHED MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES

Each certificate is a completely custom design, created to match

the wishes and desires of the couple. The highest quality archival

inks, colours and paper are used to create a long lasting family

heirloom.

I work with you to bring together a design that incorporates

elements important to your specific tradition and your personal

tastes.  Marriage certificates are an important part of many

religious and cultural traditions, and can be adapted to fit your

circumstances.

Quaker certificates are the legally binding document that unites

a couple in the tradition of the Religious Society of Friends. The

certificate is typically done by hand in simple calligraphy and

includes space for all those present at the ceremony to sign as

witnesses. When I resided in Pennsylvania I was one of the

official calligraphers recommended by the Philadelphia Yearly

Meeting.

The Jewish Ketubah is an ancient tradition that enjoys wide

popularity today in both traditional and contemporary designs. I

have created bilingual and trilingual ketubim, complete with full

colour illustration, for many clients.

My familiarity with Arabic, Persian and Urdu scripts as well as a

mastery of traditional Islamic designs has allowed me the

privilege of creating traditional and contemporary Muslim

marriage contracts. These can be created in any combination of

languages and scripts, as well as choice of design elements and

colours. The inclusion of poetry from Rumi and others has proved

to be very popular.

Many people bring together elements from many traditions to

celebrate their union, marriage or handfasting. A specially

created certificate is the perfect way to remember the special

occasion.

Many people ask for a design that brings together elements that

are special to the couple, including mountains, rivers, animals,

seascapes, and many other reminders of special places. After

looking over all the many ideas, images and photos offered by

the couple, I create a unique artistic design to illuminate the

edges of the certificate.

Other certificates have been based on a specific design style,

including Celtic Knotwork, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Floral

Arrangements, and so on.
