Yosemite & Sierra Foothills · Marriage portrait commissions

A portrait of your marriage.
Made for your home.

A great landscape can give a marriage portrait a sense of proportion: two people, a shared life, and a setting larger than either. For Sierra foothill residents and couples considering a Yosemite-region portrait, we develop the image as a work for the home, with practical access and a clearly defined concept from the beginning.

Northern California: $580 portrait study fee + $1,000 minimum artwork credit.The study fee is separate. Artwork begins at $1,290; local study + Mini Classic artwork totals $1,870 before applicable taxes or additional charges. Ask about payment options.

A local starting point

A landscape-led commission, carefully planned

A Yosemite concept and a foothill concept are different choices. A national-park setting requires review of the exact site and production activity; a foothill location can offer a more intimate landscape direction. We do not assume that a regional inquiry includes a park visit or that a familiar viewpoint is available for the proposed session.

Your residence and portrait setting are recorded separately. Tell us if you live in the foothills but want a Yosemite portrait, or prefer to remain closer to home. Current road access, seasonal restrictions, public use, equipment requirements, and permissions are reviewed before confirmation. An alternative date or setting may be needed; it is agreed with you rather than silently substituted.

The Masterpiece finish

A surface with its own character.

Acrylic texture and hand-applied color give your canvas physical dimension. Your portrait is digitally painted, printed, embellished, and framed as one finished work of art.

Planning your commission.

Sierra foothill residents and individually planned Yosemite-region scenic commissions

Your current home and the portrait setting are considered separately. One selected location is confirmed after access, production, wardrobe, and timing have been reviewed.

Does this page mean you have access to any Yosemite location?

No. Named settings are planning ideas. The precise location, activity, access, and applicable permissions must be reviewed before a commission is confirmed.

Can we choose a Sierra foothill setting instead of the park?

Yes. Your home region and session setting are separate choices. A suitable foothill location may better fit your comfort, schedule, and desired artwork.

Do we need a strenuous hike for a dramatic portrait?

No. We begin with your access needs and build a suitable concept. We do not presume strenuous travel or guarantee an iconic viewpoint.

Location planning references

Ideas only. We verify the exact site and permissions for each production plan.
