Portrait UnionValentine's Day Portrait Gift
The two of you, painted from one photo, on the wall by the 14th
Updated 14 October 2026
Free preview — see the two of you painted before you pay
A Valentine's Day portrait gift is the two of you painted from one photo, both faces kept, in a romantic style such as Lavender Field or Floral Garden. For a canvas by 14 February, order by 28 January for Europe, 29 for the UK and 22 for everywhere else. The digital file arrives the minute you pay.
A Valentine's Day portrait from Portrait Union is a painting of you and your partner made from one photograph of the two of you: a present about the relationship rather than one bought for it. Upload a photo your partner is happy for you to use, choose a style, and a watermarked preview comes back in under a minute, free. Lavender Field stands the two of you in a field at sunset; Floral Garden sets you among roses and daisies, a bouquet that has not wilted by the 20th. The date is the only hard part. A canvas is made after it is ordered and only then posted, so for the 14th order by 28 January in Europe, 29 January in the UK and 22 January in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. After that the digital file is the answer: it is €4.99, it arrives right after payment, and a canvas can follow from the same preview page.
The model is instructed to keep the face, the markings and the expression from your photograph. The free watermarked preview is where you decide whether it did, before anything is paid for.
How a Valentine's portrait gift comes together
Flowers last a week and a dinner lasts an evening; a painting of the two of you stays on the wall. Upload one photo with both of you in it, choose a style, and a free preview comes back in under a minute. The digital file starts at €4.99; a gallery canvas starts at €69.99, shipping included to 35 countries.
Which style says Valentine's. Lavender Field paints the two of you standing in purple lavender at sunset, with a warm gold rim of light on your hair; it suits a photo taken outdoors, standing close or holding hands. Floral Garden sets you among sculptural roses, white daisies and violet spikes, the flowers overlapping your shoulders so you sit inside the garden rather than in front of it; it suits a relaxed photo, sitting or leaning together. For something grander, Renaissance Royal puts you both in court dress. Every style, and what each one does to a photo of two people, is on the couple portrait page.
The photo decides more than the style does. Choose one where both faces are clear and about the same size, taken in good light, with the two of you near the middle of an upright frame: a wide photo is cropped to the centre, and a couple standing at its edges loses one of you. If your hands are joined in the photo, keep them in the frame, because the painting keeps them too. The photo guide checks a file in the browser before you upload it.
Getting a canvas there by the 14th. Each one is made only after it has been ordered and then posted, and February post moves at its usual speed, so counting back from Valentine's Day with a few days to spare puts the last day to order at 28 January in Europe, 29 January in the UK and 22 January in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. If you live together, a parcel at the door gives the present away, so send it to a work address or a friend's; the receipt and the digital file go to your email, not into the box. The canvas print page covers how it is built and the sizes.
If the cut-off has gone, the digital file is the present rather than the consolation. It arrives right after payment, on the 14th itself if need be: print it small on a card with a handwritten line, or show it on your phone at dinner, and order the canvas from the same preview page afterwards, since the page stays open after a purchase. For a date later in the year that is about the two of you, the anniversary portrait gift page matches styles and frames to the milestone years.

Frequently asked questions
When do I need to order for Valentine's Day?
For a canvas or a framed canvas, order by 28 January in Europe, 29 January in the UK and 22 January in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. Those dates are the time a canvas needs to be made and posted, about two weeks in Europe and the UK, and about three weeks in the other countries we ship to, counted back from 14 February with a few days to spare. The digital file has no such window: it can be ordered on the 14th and given the same hour.
Which style is the most romantic?
Lavender Field and Floral Garden: a field of lavender at sunset, or a garden of roses and daisies around you both. Renaissance Royal is the grander choice, and Watercolor the softest.
Can I keep it a surprise if we live together?
Yes. Make the portrait without an account, from a photo your partner is happy for you to use, and at checkout send the canvas to a work address or a friend's. The receipt and the digital file go to your email, not into the box.
What can I give on the day if the canvas will not arrive in time?
The digital file. It arrives right after payment, so print it on a card with a handwritten note or show it on your phone, then order the canvas from the same preview page afterwards.
Which photo of the two of us works best?
One where you are together, both faces clear and about the same size, near the middle of an upright frame. The portrait is painted from a single upload, so it needs a photo with both of you in it.
Can our dog be in it too?
Yes. Every face and every animal in the photo is included at no extra cost, so a photo of the two of you with your dog becomes a portrait of all three.
