Guidelines for Uploading Your Wedding Photos

 

Get Started In 3 Easy Steps

1. Upload Your Photo: Choose a well-lit photo of the wedding couple and include it with your order so our digital artists can begin creating your personalized portrait. Please read our Image Guidelines for tips to make your house portrait picture perfect!

2. Personalize Your Artwork: Add a their names and date, to make your artwork uniquely yours. We'll print this below the custom artwork in our signature font, along with your address and chosen date. You can also leave this blank for a simple and clean look.

3. Proof and Shipping: Sit back and relax while our illustrators transform your photo into a masterpiece. We will send you an artwork proof in 3 days or less to review and approve before we print and ship.

The image you upload is crucial to the quality of your final couple portrait. Follow these guidelines to ensure your artwork is picture perfect:

  • Clear, High-Resolution Photo: Upload a clear, high-resolution photo (landscape or portrait).
  • Two-Person Photos Only: Ensure the photo features only the two people in the wedding photo.
  • Avoid Dark Lighting: Avoid photos taken at night or with dark lighting.
  • No Filters: Avoid using filters to ensure accurate coloring of your portrait.
  • Full Faces: Ensure faces are not cut off or cropped out of the image.
  • Complete View: Make sure everything you want shown in the artwork is visible in the image.
  • Optimal Angles: The best photos are taken from a side-on angle to the wedding couple with at least half of the body visible (waist-up).
  • Color Photos: Unless you have ordered a sketch portrait, we cannot accept black and white or scanned photos.

Note: Everything shown on the wedding photo in the uploaded image will be illustrated in your final wedding portrait. We can sometimes remove or change small items, but your photo should look the way you want it to be painted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to most common questions about products, orders, shipments, and payments.
Are All Artworks Created Digitally?

All of our artworks are digitally created based on the photos you provide, and they are almost identical to actual hand-painted portraits.

Simply sit back and relax while our illustrators transform your photo into a real masterpiece!

Our talented design team can also enhance any images you provide or remove certain objects from photos.
What sort of photos are suitable?

If you choose to link to the real estate listing, our artists will carefully choose the best photo that represents the "life of the home" - which could be the street facing photo or a more internal or exterior shot.

Each of your clients situation and house are unique and we aim to gain an understanding of the lives lived in the property - to best represent the life of the home.

We review every uploaded photo when we receive an order. If there’s an issue, we’ll contact you to request more photos. For the best results consult the image guidelines provided on the product page
Are these closing gifts for vendors or purchasers?

The answer is a surprising YES for both! Closing gifts are typically given to vendors as a gesture of appreciation for their business, but this is where many sales agents miss a golden marketing opportunity. A well-thought-out closing gift can benefit both vendors and purchasers. While the purchaser isn’t paying your fee, they play a crucial role in the sales process—so why not show them some appreciation too? This approach is especially impactful with first-home buyers, who are often cash-strapped and grateful for something special to adorn their walls.
Can you feature my portrait on your website?

Yes! Tag us on Instagram @celebrateportraits, and we’ll do our best to feature your portrait as our next superstar.
