A commission is when you send an artist a photo and they paint it by hand. You choose the style — realistic, impressionist, watercolour, oil — and the artist creates a one-of-a-kind painting based on your image. No two paintings are the same, even from the same photo.
It is different from a printed canvas or a digital filter. A commission is real paint on real canvas, made by a real person.
Browse the artists below and find a style you love. Click their profile to see their portfolio, read reviews, and check their starting price. When you are ready, send them a message with your photo and tell them what you have in mind. Your artist will confirm the details, agree a price, and get started once your deposit is paid.
Most artists ask for a 30% or 50% deposit to secure your order. The rest is paid on completion.
It depends on the artist and the size of the painting. Most commissions take between 2 and 6 weeks from the date you send your photo. Some artists offer faster turnaround for an extra fee. If you have a deadline — such as an anniversary or birthday — mention it in your first message so the artist can confirm they can meet it.
Prices on this platform start from around £355. Larger paintings, more detailed work, and artists with high demand will cost more — some premium commissions are £2,000 or above.
The main things that affect price are canvas size, the artist's experience, how many people are in the painting, and how detailed the background is.
Every profile shows a clear starting price so you can filter to your budget straight away.
A clear, well-lit photo works best. The better the photo, the more detail the artist can include. Most artists can work from a smartphone photo as long as the subjects are in focus and not too small in the frame.
If you are not sure which photo to use, share two or three options in your first message and ask the artist which they recommend.
Yes — and it is one of the most popular uses of this service. Many couples on this platform were surprised with a painting commissioned by a parent, sibling, or wedding guest.
If you are ordering as a gift, you do not need the couple's involvement at all. Simply choose a photo from social media or ask another guest, share it with your chosen artist, and they will take care of the rest. You can ask for it to be delivered directly to you, or shipped straight to the couple.
Artists on this platform work in a range of styles including oil, acrylic, watercolour, and pencil. Some painters work in a detailed, realistic style. Others use a looser, more expressive approach with soft brushwork and colour.
The best way to find the right style for you is to look through each artist's portfolio before you enquire. If you love the way a painting looks in their gallery, that is what your painting will look like too.
The style of the artist matters as much as the quality of your photo. A painter who works in soft watercolour will produce a very different result from one who paints in rich, detailed oils — even from the same image.
Before you enquire, spend time in each artist's portfolio looking for paintings that feel like the result you want. Look at how they handle skin tones, light, and background detail. Read the reviews from other couples to understand what the experience of working with them is actually like.
The Wedding Painters is the UK's only dedicated platform for wedding art commissions. Every artist listed here has been accepted through an application process. Every review comes from a verified couple who completed a real order through the platform.
