Free preview — see your day as a Renaissance painting
An AI wedding portrait is painted from one photograph from the day, and the decision that matters is the dress. Renaissance Royal, Greek God, Gothic Noble and Hollywood Premiere replace wedding attire with a costume of their own. Four styles keep what you were wearing and repaint everything else: Van Gogh Style, Watercolor, Floral Garden and Lavender Field. Faces and hair are painted from the photograph you upload, and the free preview is where you judge them.
A wedding portrait from Portrait Union turns one photograph from the day into a painting of the two of you. The instruction asks for faces, hair, skin tone and proportions to be carried over, and in Renaissance Royal for the tiara to sit on top of the hair rather than being woven into it, which is usually what decides whether a bride recognises herself. The attire is where to go in with open eyes: Renaissance Royal, Greek God, Gothic Noble and Hollywood Premiere all replace the dress and the suit with the style's own costume, while Van Gogh Style, Watercolor, Floral Garden and Lavender Field keep what you were wearing and repaint everything else. Use a well-lit shot with both faces clear and towards the middle of an upright frame, since the picture is cropped to 4:5. A watermarked preview comes back free; the digital file is €4.99 and a canvas starts at €69.99. For a fixed day, leave two to three weeks.
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 wedding photo becomes a painting
Wedding photography records the day. A wedding portrait records the marriage. Upload one favourite shot, the first kiss, the first dance, the formal couple's portrait or the moment outside the church, and both of you are painted in a classical style for the wall. Renaissance Royal suits weddings well: matching court attire, golden glazes, the gravitas of a painting that looks generations old.
Both faces are painted from the photograph rather than invented. The bride's hair colour, length and style are carried over; in Renaissance Royal a tiara sits on top of the hair, never woven into it. The groom's features and expression are carried over too, and the free preview is where you decide whether they came back right. What changes is the dress. Eight of the twelve styles replace the wedding attire with their own costume; four keep what you were wearing — Van Gogh Style, Watercolor, Floral Garden and Lavender Field — so choose with that in mind.
If a dog or cat was at the ceremony, upload a group photo with the pet in it and choose the owner-and-pet subject. The pet appears in the portrait with an accessory that fits the style and keeps its own body.
Style suggestions by mood. Renaissance Royal for traditional formality: velvet robes, crowns, ermine trim, a palace setting. Greek God for something classical and airy: chitons, laurel crowns, marble columns. Van Gogh Style for art-loving couples, and the one of the four dress-keeping styles that still repaints everything around it. Gothic Noble for a moodier, candlelit portrait in deep crimson and antique gold. Hollywood Premiere for black-tie glamour.
Common uses. A first-anniversary gift, since paper is the traditional first-anniversary material and a canvas is a step up from it. A thank-you for the wedding party, as a digital file. An engagement-photo upgrade to display at the reception. A vow-renewal gift at 10, 25 or 50 years, painted from the original wedding photo. For anniversary timing and the milestone years, see the anniversary portrait gift page.
What this page covers
What happens to the dress — It states that most styles repaint the wedding attire and that Van Gogh Style alone keeps it, and it adds the detail that decides whether a bride recognises herself, which is that a Renaissance Royal tiara sits on top of the hair rather than being woven into it.
Five styles sorted by wedding mood — It sorts the styles that suit a wedding by register: Renaissance Royal for traditional formality, Greek God for something classical and airy, Van Gogh Style for the couple who want the dress kept, Gothic Noble for candlelit crimson and antique gold, and Hollywood Premiere for black-tie glamour.
Which photograph from the day — It names the shots from a wedding that work — the first kiss, the first dance, the formal couple's portrait, the moment outside the church — and answers separately whether a picture taken by the photographer you hired can be used.

Frequently asked questions
What's the best photo to use?
A well-lit shot where both faces are clearly visible. Formal couple portraits from your photographer work well, with their permission. Avoid heavily filtered photos, photos where one person is partly hidden, and candids with motion blur.
Will my dress look the same?
No. Most styles generate attire that matches the style, royal robes for Renaissance Royal, a chiton for Greek God, so the wedding dress is reinterpreted rather than kept. Faces, hair, skin tone and proportions stay the same. If you want your own clothing kept, choose Van Gogh Style.
Can I include our pet who was at the ceremony?
Upload a photo with both of you and the pet and choose the owner-and-pet subject. The pet wears an accessory that matches the style, such as a jewelled collar or a laurel wreath, and keeps its own animal body.
Can I use my photographer's photo?
Ask the photographer first: many contracts allow personal use, but the copyright is theirs. Once you have permission, upload the highest-resolution file you have.
How fast can I get it?
A canvas takes 3–5 business days in production and is posted after that, so the whole wait is about two weeks in Europe and the UK, and about three weeks in the other countries we ship to. For a fixed day, count that back from the day rather than forward from the order.
Can we both keep a digital copy?
Yes. Download it, print it locally, use it as a phone wallpaper, or send it to family. There is no expiry.
