Start with the possibilities
Imagine the portrait in your home. Begin with the Portrait Guide: the DNA Premium Portraits approach to artwork, the experience, and the difference between Classic and hand-embellished Masterpiece finishes.
For your Marriage Portrait commission
The current investment, clearly. $580 portrait study fee + a minimum artwork purchase of $1,000 in California or $2,000 for visiting cities outside California. The study fee is required and is separate from your artwork. Your artwork minimum is credited toward the price of the piece you select after your design consultation; it is not added on top of that price.
Artwork begins at $2,900 for a Standard Classic, including a frame selected in your proposal. With the $580 study fee, that example totals $3,480 before applicable taxes or extras. After the artwork credit, its artwork balance is $1,900 in California or $900 for visiting cities outside California.
Your selected location, artwork, and complete commission are confirmed in a written proposal before reservation. For an unlisted city, we confirm which artwork minimum applies when we review the location.
Studio-managed payment options and third-party financing can be discussed. Your written proposal confirms the schedule, any costs, provider terms, and any approval requirements before you commit.
How these terms relate to the studio guides The supplied PDFs introduce the broader DNA Premium Portraits studio. The Marriage Portrait artwork offering starts with Standard; the smaller tiers shown in those references are outside this commission. Older $550 sitting-fee credits, studio services with no artwork minimum, and broader family or collection offers do not change the Marriage Portrait terms above. Any legacy-family benefit, installation, warranty, discount, or additional service must be expressly confirmed in your own proposal.
Classic and Masterpiece are different finishes. Physical acrylic texture and hand-applied color belong to the Masterpiece finish, available for eligible sizes; they are not included with every Classic portrait. For Impact and Showcase, the current site follows the pricing sheet: 30 × 45 inches and 40 × 55 inches, respectively.
