Getting married is a very special occasion for all couples. It's a promise of eternal love, happiness, and a shared life together no matter what challenges may come down the road. Your wedding day is a memory which you'll remember for the rest of your life, and which you'll (hopefully!) always want to look back at with a smile.

One way newlyweds preserve memories of that momentous occasion is printing and framing their wedding portrait at a specialized portrait framing shop, a task which can cost hundreds of dollars to get done professionally. If you're a new couple who just had to pay for a wedding, do you really want to pay hundreds of dollars for a picture when there's a cheaper-and more unique-alternative?

Printing photos on canvas is the new preferred method of photographers to display their own private works in their homes, and doing so yourself is as simple as uploading a file. By transferring your digital photo file to a professional canvas picture printer, they're able to use a special printer configured with exacting details to print perfect quality reproductions of your photos on canvas rather than paper. Your most treasured memory is printed directly into the canvas itself, creating a canvas picture in lieu of a traditional paper-based one.

For newlyweds, the process of printing portraits on canvas is a perfect opportunity to preserve your most precious memory in a format that not only lasts the test of time (on average canvas prints begin to fade after 100 years) but displays them in a way your friends will sure to be envious of.

With your wedding portrait displayed as a photo canvas print instead of printed and framed using the same methods your grandparents used, what was once a picture serving only as a memory is instantly transformed into a work of art. Using high-quality canvas which is similar to the type professional painters use, canvas photographs just have a look to them which makes them look like a true piece of art, whether they're a professionally taken portrait or a picture taken by your uncle's digital camera.

Photos on canvas are just as high of a quality as professional artwork printed on expensive photo paper for hundreds of dollars, and experienced professional canvas picture printing businesses are now charging prices which can blow many picture printing and framing businesses away.

So how much is printing your wedding portrait on canvas going to cost? Given the better longevity, artistic value, uniqueness, and high level of quality you get with professional canvas prints, it's very surprising how affordable they are. At a reasonable wedding portrait size of 20"x30", printing your photo on canvas costs under $100-a fraction of the price you'll pay to have your first picture as husband and wife printed and framed at an established portrait framing studio.

You also don't need to worry about buying an expensive frame and running the risk of needing to purchase a new one when your furniture changes a few years down the road. With canvas prints the essential framing and mounting is on the inside of the work, with the photo's canvas stretched over it creating a 3D, pop-out image that stands out from your wall on its own. If you want you can still frame photographic canvas prints, but even at their most basic element without a frame and hung directly on the wall canvas pictures look classy and sophisticated enough that you can easily display them in the most important rooms in your home, making all your friends jealous of your unique piece of personal art.
