Two people, kept as two people
Couple portraits live or die on the closeness of the pose. The distance between you, the angle of a head on a shoulder, a hand on a waist — all of it comes from your photograph.
Faces are kept individually recognisable rather than idealised, which is what makes the print worth hanging.
Choosing the photo
The most-loved couple portraits usually come from ordinary moments: a walk, a kitchen, a festival, a train platform. Formal photos work too, but they carry less of your story.
What to look for
Both faces clearly visible, both at a similar distance from the camera, and enough light to see eyes properly.
Waist-up or head-and-shoulders framing gives the strongest portrait. Full-body photos taken from far away leave faces small.
Older photographs
A photo from thirty or forty years ago makes an extraordinary anniversary gift, and a phone photograph of the original print is usually enough to work from.
Photograph the print flat, in daylight, without flash, filling the frame with the photo itself.
Occasions people order for
Couple portraits are the gift people give when a card is not enough and jewellery is too much.
- Wedding anniversaries, especially with an old photo
- Engagement announcements
- Valentine's Day and birthdays
- First-home housewarming prints
- Long-distance gifts, printed locally to avoid shipping
Watercolour or pencil?
Watercolour reads romantic and warm, and suits outdoor or summer photos. It is the more common choice for bedrooms and living rooms.
Pencil reads timeless and understated, and is often chosen for anniversary portraits made from black-and-white originals.
Printing and presentation
Print at 300 DPI up to 40 × 50 cm / 16 × 20 in. Portrait orientation with a wide mount suits two-person compositions particularly well.
If the portrait is a gift, printing it yourself and framing it before giving turns a $5 download into something that looks and feels considered.
