My Story in Steel artwork was a gift for my brother and sister in law’s 40th Anniversary. I used a beautiful picture from their special vacation in Greece this past summer celebrating this special anniversary! They just loved this gift and hung it on their wall immediately!
Our son and daughter loved this gift! They said they’d never seen anything like it. I added their wedding photo to it because I chose a photo to replicate that had a large space. They met while in college at University of San Diego (USD) and got married there years later. The church is beautiful. They have great customer service and I was able to look at proofs before choosing the final design.
Our Chocolate Lab Santana turned 5 this year. To celebrate her birthday, I placed a custom order with Story In Steel. The artwork we received exceeded my expectations. Solid and beautiful. More importantly, my wife loves it.
I got this for my parent's anniversary and they love it! They love how it sits off of the frame and it looks very much like the reference photo. I am going to get one made of my dog next!
This artwork was so much better than I ever expected. The picture is of my dad's dog, Dottie. Unfortunately she is starting to show her age. She has been the best dog and companion for my dad. She's been by his side through so much, but most significantly, the loss of my mother. I wanted something special for my dad's birthday and this was it!! He absolutely loved it! Thank you Story In Steel!!
Stunning, if you knew that look she gave the way the long stare looks right into you. Captured so very well its soft yet razor sharp. Not physically mind you the craftsmanship is amazing. Anyone whom knew or met her believes 100% captured her essence. True professional s guaranteed will not be my last image with you. Highly recommended to anyone wishing something different but timeless.
Absolutely delightful memory; and a beautiful piece of art. It was a pleasure working with the artist, and the craftsmanship is fantastic. No regrets. Keep up the awesome work.
I couldn’t be happier with the finished product! The craftsmanship is absolutely outstanding, and the attention to detail is incredible. Every feature was captured so accurately that my wife immediately recognized the exact photo that was used—without having any idea which picture I had submitted. That alone speaks volumes about the quality and precision of the work.
This is more than just a beautifully made piece; it’s an everlasting memory that we’ll cherish for years to come. If you’re looking for exceptional craftsmanship, remarkable detail, and someone who truly cares about creating a meaningful keepsake, I highly recommend them. An awesome job from start to finish!
I want to pass on this amazing project for you to see. This was done by Story In Steel and it turned out to be a masterpiece! They were are very talented artists and their customer service was amazing. I will cherish this forever ❤️ Love you Kinder Hubler!!!
As far as the art work goes I couldn't be much happier. My only problem was within 20 minutes of me hanging my picture the screws ripped out of the frame and the picture fell.
There also was a mount on the frame for it to be hung horizontally or vertically. For as much money as we spend on these I thought they shouldn't have mounts to be hung either way. After all our pictures were made to only be held one way.
I will say customer service was quick to send a new frame. We'll see if it's going to be any better still though.

We had to say goodbye to our 14.5 year old Goldendoodle Zoey in April 2026, she was ready to be done and sadly it was time to let her go. We were devastated, but it was the right choice. She was beautiful, smart, loving and adored by everyone we knew. She was 'everyone's' dog. If love could have kept her here, she would have lived forever, because we adored her from puppy to adult! Two dear friends of ours, who've also lost dogs in past years, gifted us this beautiful metal portrait of our Zoey girl. Tears were shed, hugs were given as it's my favorite photo of her. I was amazed how how well the metal cut framed artwork was done, it looks JUST like her. I've never seen anything like this before, so cool and a wonderful way to remember Zoey!!
Anniversary gift for my wife as this is one of her all time favorite pictures of us. The initial design was great but to see this in person we were absolutely blown away by how amazing it is and how heavy duty the quality is.
I bought my wife who is a dog trainer this picture of our dog and she cried as soon as she opened the box. Every detail was included and it shows unmistakably our child. We plan on getting one for our next dog and everyone in the future.
What a BEAUTIFUL gift!!! It looks exactly like our wedding photo. Whoever did the work on our artwork did a FANTASTIC job!! I would and I will recommend you to my family and friends. Once anybody sees it, they will want to know where I got it from, I’ll gladly tell them it came from Story In Steel
This is so perfectly accurate to the picture! I can't believe the detail put in it. I cant wait to give it to my husband for our anniversary. I love it so much, I am ordering another with a different Pic for my mom's birthday coming up!
