Personalised gift for couple: turn your portrait into a unique keepsake
Are you looking for a couple gift idea that is a little different from the usual presents ? Something you can actually customise and proudly display in your living room ? A personalised gift for couple created from a photo could be just what you're looking for!
This artistic piece will celebrate your bond in a truly personal way, with an illustration created to look like you. It could be a photo taken during a holiday, a spontaneous snapshot from when you first met, or simply a picture in which you both think you look particularly good. Our graphic designer transforms this special memory into a couple portrait from a photo, in the style of your choice.
Why choose a personalised couple portrait ?
A personalised couple portrait is much more than simply having a photograph printed. It is a graphic transformation of your picture into a particular artistic style, created by a professional graphic designer.
At Votreportrait.fr, we offer a wide range of styles, and you can also customise elements such as the colours and format, as well as adding text and symbols. Almost anything is possible, within reason, because the aim is for you to receive a genuinely personal creation rather than something standardised.
The aim of this personalised couple wall art is therefore twofold : first, to celebrate your relationship in an original way with a gift that is sure to surprise, and then to turn it into a decorative piece in its own right.
A canvas displayed above the bed, a colourful portrait in the living room or a smaller, more discreet framed print in an office: there are countless ways to incorporate it into your home.
The styles available for your personalised couple gift
Everyone is different, which is why you'll find a wide range of artistic styles to create a personalised gift for couples that matches your tastes. Some people love bold, contrasting colours, while others prefer something more understated and classic. It's up to you to find the style that feels most like you !
Bright, vibrant colours combined with a graphic style inspired by the famous portraits of Andy Warhol. A Pop Art couple portrait is particularly well suited to couples who love colourful interiors and a fun, pop-inspired aesthetic.
A more playful and romantic interpretation, perfect for fans of Japanese culture. The design can also be adapted to different themes, making it ideal for couples who want to create something a little more unusual and playful.
A style inspired by urban art, complete with brick walls and graffiti. A street art couple portrait gives a room plenty of character and energy, particularly when the photograph is presented as a silhouette.
Drawn lines and an approach inspired by a bold yet elegant sketch. Printed on canvas, this graphic style is perfect for adding an artistic touch to your wall décor.
An explosion of colour combined with stylised faces that will completely transform your couple photograph. It is available in several formats, including a panoramic version that works particularly well in a contemporary interior.
Your favourite couple photorecreated using hundreds of smaller images. The result has a double effect : from a distance, you appreciate the main photo; up close, you can recognise the personal pictures used to create it.
How can you personalise your couple portrait ?
As mentioned above, you can choose from a range of options and add specific requests to turn your favourite photograph into a truly unique personalised gift for couple. As the artwork is created by an experienced graphic designer, there is a high level of customisation available. Here are a few ideas :
- The photo -
We don't only create portraits showing the face and upper body; full-length photographs can also be used. You can choose a posed portrait or a spontaneous snapshot. Don't hesitate to stage your own photo especially for the project. This can be a great way to capture a holiday memory, for example, or highlight a shared passion.
- The colours -
We already offer different colour combinations for most of our styles. However, it is also possible to request a custom colour scheme based on your personal preferences, or even choose colours that complement the wall where your portrait will be displayed.
- Add words -
You can add a short message, a declaration of love, an important date or the couple's names. It could be as simple as the date you first met or a phrase you often say to each other. Comic book-style and Lichtenstein portraits are particularly well suited to this type of personalisation.
- Accessories and Background -
If you'd like to take the customisation even further, you can request additional elements such as accessories (hats, glasses, jewellery), symbols (hearts, butterflies or other motifs), or even a completely bespoke background.
This could be a variation of the original background in your photograph, or an entirely different stylised landscape.
The Creation Process
The usual delivery time for your personalised portrait is 7 to 8 working days (excluding weekends and public holidays, and subject to any courier delays). Here is a quick overview of the process:
- Step 1 : send us your photo -
Tout commence après la réception de votre commande et de la photo. Cette dernière doit être de qualité suffisante : bien nette avec les visages uniformément éclairés (pas de grosses tâches d’ombre). Une photo prise avec un smartphone, récupérée sur internet ou une photo papier peuvent parfaitement convenir. Si vous hésitez entre plusieurs clichés, contactez-nous !
- Step 2 : our graphic designer creates your portrait -
Everything begins once we have received your order and photo. The image needs to be of sufficient quality : sharp, with the faces evenly lit and without large areas of shadow. A photo taken with a smartphone, downloaded from the internet or even a printed photograph can work perfectly well. If you're unsure which picture to choose, simply get in touch with us !

- Step 3 : approve the preview -
Before printing, our graphic designer sends you a preview of your artwork by email. You can then see the finished result and let her know if you would like any adjustments (excluding changes to the photograph or artistic style).
This stage is particularly important. For example, if you're preparing a personalised Valentine's Day gift, you can make sure that everything looks as you imagined before the portrait goes into production.
- Step 4 : production and delivery -
Once you have approved the artwork, your portrait is printed in high definition on your chosen medium : glossy photo paper or stretched canvas mounted on a wooden frame.
The prints are produced using calibrated colours to preserve the quality of the graphic artwork. Every order is then carefully packaged to ensure it is well protected during transit.
What occasions are perfect for giving this gift ?
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, an important date or simply want to make your other half happy, a personalised gift for couple is a lovely way to show them how much they mean to you.
- Celebrate Valentine's Day with a Photo Mosaic : a couple big photo recreated using the memories that mean the most to you both. Holidays, childhood memories, romantic outings, family celebrations and more… A touching idea that is sure to move the person you love.
- Celebrate your relationship anniversary by transforming a picture taken at the beginning of your relationship and adding the date you first met. This type of gift can also be created by children as a special present for their parents or grandparents.
- A wedding is another wonderful occasion. A personalised wedding gift can be given to newlyweds by family or friends, while a portrait created from a photograph taken on the wedding day allows the couple to keep a particularly meaningful image of the occasion. For more ideas, you can also read our guide to personalised wedding gifts.
- And sometimes, you don't need a particular reason to give a personalised portrait. You've been together for ten years, recently moved in together, or simply rediscovered an old photograph that you absolutely love ? There's no need to wait for a special occasion to give something to the person you love.

- Carefully checked printing : every print is checked before being sent out. Your artwork is printed in high resolution using calibrated colours to ensure that the final result matches the graphic designer's screen as closely as possible.
