Melissa & Yonatan

Yonatan's mum really liked the birthday card I made for Hila and wrote to me to ask if I could make something for her son and his fiancée, Melissa. The couple met on 23rd December 2023. Yonatan's mum thought it would be nice to gift them a piece of my art to mark the date, something about the beginning of their journey together.
She sent me the photo of Melissa and Yonatan, above, taken when they first met. I recreated it carefully, adding all the tiny details which makes the picture special. She also asked me to add the following line in Hebrew:
מצאתי את שאהבה נפשי (Song of Songs 3:1-4), which translates as "I have found the one whom my soul loves".
My customer was delighted with the piece, which she framed herself. "They all loved it!" she said.
Yonatan wrote me a lovely message as well.
"Hi Lisa. We just received a fantastic gift made by you, and we are stunned at how beautiful and detailed it is. Thank you so much for your part in it ❤".
Melissa and Yonatan got married yesterday. I wish them a big Mazal Tov (congratulations) and many happy years together.

    Mazel tov on the very special day of the wedding. But professional wedding photos can be formal, so the idea of an engagement card is much more relaxed. The couple will look back on their engagement as a day full of love.

    Wow this is so special! They will cherish it forever. I would love to have something like this framed. I have been working on a mini bedroom makeover with some professional carpet cleaning & new pillows. Custom framed art would be the perfect finishing touch! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
