Commission Wedding Portraits
Commission Wedding Portraits: A Timeless Keepsake
Aloha! I’m Ariel Quiroz, your Maui-based portrait artist. If you’re looking to transform your wedding day memories into a bespoke work of art that lives long after the celebration, a Commission Wedding Portrait is the perfect choice.
What Is a Commission Wedding Portrait?
A Commission Wedding Portrait—or “Wedding Portrait from Photo”—is a custom-created painting crafted in my studio, using your favorite photographs and memories as references. Unlike live paintings, which capture moments in real time, commissioned pieces allow for extended time in the studio to refine every detail, composition, and color choice to your exact vision.
Why Choose a Commission Portrait?
-
Unmatched Detail & Customization
With studio time on my side, I can deliver photorealistic likenesses or lean into more expressive styles—whether romantic illustration, impressionistic flair, or even pop-art accents. You decide the mood, level of detail, and artistic movement that resonates with you. -
Symbolic Elements & Personal Storytelling
Want to weave in your wedding florals, a meaningful locale, or a subtle nod to family heirlooms? Commissioned artwork lets us incorporate meaningful symbols that tell your unique love story. -
Heirloom-Quality Materials
I work exclusively on archival-grade canvas or fine art paper, with professional-grade oils or acrylics that stand the test of time. Your portrait arrives ready for display—or you can choose a custom frame to complete the presentation. -
Flexible Timeline
Studio commissions are perfect for couples who want a polished, gallery-quality piece and don’t need on-site painting. It’s also a wonderful anniversary gift or a special way to commemorate engagement photos.
My Process: From Photo to Painting
-
Consultation & Visioning
We’ll start with a brief video or phone chat to discuss your favorite images, preferred style, size, and any special elements you’d like to include. -
Photo Selection & Sketch
You provide your top photo references, and I create a preliminary pencil or digital sketch for your feedback. -
Studio Painting
Once the sketch is approved, I begin painting—layering colors, refining facial features, and crafting the background to enhance the mood. -
Revision & Finishing Touches
I’ll share progress shots so you can suggest any tweaks. After final details are in place, I apply a protective varnish. -
Delivery
Your finished portrait is carefully packed and shipped directly to you, or you’re welcome to pick it up in Maui for a personal moment of aloha.
