A close-up where the face fills most of the frame.
Natural daylight, with no harsh flash or heavy shadows.
Taken at eye level, looking towards the camera.

Framing & sizing

Why we sell our prints unframed

Most of our prints ship unframed, so you can choose a frame you love rather than pay for one you'd swap out.

Pick your own look. Match the frame to your room, oak, black or white wood, or a mounted gallery style.
Don't pay twice. A frame you didn't choose often gets replaced. Unframed keeps the cost on the artwork.
Ships flat and safe. A flat-packed print travels far better than glass.

Prefer it ready to hang? Add a fitted black, white or natural wood frame at the size step above.

Choosing a frame that fits

Our prints come in three standard sizes, so an off-the-shelf frame is easy to find:

21 × 29.7 cm (A4) — fits any standard A4 frame.
30 × 40 cm — a common ready-made frame size.
45 × 60 cm — a popular large size, also widely sold ready-made.

Two easy ways to frame it:

Frame to size. Buy a frame in the exact size above, no mount needed.
Use a mount (mat). Choose a slightly larger frame with a mount cut to your print size, for a gallery look with a border.

Tip: check the frame's artwork opening (not its outer size), and look for a real glass or acrylic front.

How it'll look on your wall

Here's how the three sizes compare against a standard three-seat sofa (about 2 m wide) and an adult, for scale:

Above a sofa or sideboard, most people choose 30 × 40 or 45 × 60 cm. For a shelf or a gallery wall of several prints, A4 works well.

About this print

Your first dance lasted three minutes. A watercolour of it will last considerably longer. We take a favourite photo from your wedding day and reimagine it as a watercolour portrait, soft washes of colour, the two of you caught mid-turn, everything else falling gently away.

It's the gift that works for the wedding day itself, for a first anniversary, or for any couple who still smiles at that photo on their phone and has never actually done anything with it. Order it as a surprise, or choose it together, either way, it earns its place on the wall in a way that a card never could.

Before anything prints, we send a free digital proof so you can see exactly how your photo translates into the watercolour style. Nothing goes to print until you approve it. Prints come in three sizes, 21×29.7cm, 30×40cm and 45×60cm, and can be finished in a wood frame (Black, White or Natural, +£30), ready to hang straight from the box. Delivered in days, not weeks.

Frequently asked questions

Which photo works best for a first dance watercolour?

A clear shot of the two of you dancing together, ideally showing both faces and some of the movement, gives the best result. It doesn't need to be a professional photo; a well-lit guest shot is fine. If you're unsure, upload what you have and we'll let you know in the free digital proof stage.

Can I order this as a wedding gift for someone else's big day?

Yes, it works especially well as a wedding gift from a close friend or family member. You'll need to supply a photo from the wedding (ask the couple or the photographer), then we'll send the digital proof to your email address for approval before anything is printed or dispatched.

How long does it take to receive the finished print?

We send your digital proof within a few working days of receiving your photo. Once you've approved it, the print is dispatched and typically arrives within a few more days. The full process usually completes well within two weeks, faster if you respond to the proof promptly.

Is the first dance print available framed?

Yes. You can add a wood frame in Black, White or Natural for an additional £30. Framed prints arrive ready to hang, with no extra hardware needed. If you'd prefer to frame it yourself, the unframed print ships flat-packed and fits standard off-the-shelf frames in the size you choose.

What if I don't like the proof?

Then we change it. The proof stage is there so you can ask for tweaks to the colours, the background or the likeness, and we'll keep revising until you're happy. Nothing goes to print until you approve it.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

Because every print is made to order from your photo, we can't accept returns for a change of mind. You approve a free digital proof before we print anything, so there are no surprises. And if a print arrives damaged or not as approved, we'll put it right straight away.
