What size should I choose?

Choose the size based on how you plan to use the painting. If you want it to be a statement piece or the main focal point, a larger size is recommended.

The artist determines whether it will be vertical or horizontal on-site unless the client specifies otherwise.

Still thinking about it?

Consider bundling guest portraits with custom artwork for your wedding invitations, table signs, or thank you cards.

We'd love to fill your wedding cocktail hour and reception with art, light, laughter and joy!
