It depends on size: 1-2 at 8x10, up to 4 at 12x16, up to 8 at 16x20, up to 10 at 18x24. More figures need more room to stay recognizable.

Product details

Description

Your Wedding Anniversary Metal Portrait is a hand-drawn portrait of your wedding photo, laser cut in steel and framed in walnut or black. For your wife or husband, it brings that one look, that one day, back into view.

It is not a print. Four magnets hold the silver steel off its frame, casting real shadows as the light changes. It is an especially fitting steel anniversary gift for your 10th, 11th or 25th, or a tribute to your parents' 40th. Your proof arrives by email within 3 days.

Upload the photo, tell us who is in it, and choose from 8 x 10 to 18 x 24 in. Add names or a date at no charge, with unlimited free revisions. We cut only after your approval.

Size and details

Steel: 16 gauge laser cut steel, about 1/16 in thick, with a hard silver powder coat.

Frame: walnut or black. Four magnets hold the steel off the frame, so it floats and casts a shadow.

No-frame option: the same steel, held off a walnut or black backer by the magnets.

Hanging: one screw. The screw and the magnetic spacers that lift the piece off the wall are in the box.

Sizes: 8 x 10, 12 x 16, 16 x 20 or 18 x 24 in. The orientation, landscape or portrait, follows the photo you upload. Our artists may adjust the layout slightly to present it best.

Customer photo review of Wedding Anniversary Metal Portrait

The picture is from my wedding and the Story in Steel did a great job of duplicating it, including my hair that was extra curly that hot day. I really like the magnetic frame, which made it easy to mount to the wall.

Customer photo review of Custom Pet Metal Portrait

We rescue pups who might not otherwise get adopted as many of them have special needs. We have honored each pup who has passed on with a Story in Steel and the artists have nailed the pictures every time. They are very open to feedback and make changes as requested when i was giving one as a gift and she wanted changes made to the preview. I'm super pleased! We will continue to use Story in Steel to honor our pups and give as gifts. Quality art!

My wife wanted something unique and different for our silver anniversary. Over the years, she's accumulated many different silver items but our "Story in Steel" checked both boxes. Thank you for transforming our memorable moment into a forever piece of art!

This was for my son’s one year wedding anniversary. The product was absolutely stunning and they loved it. The delivery was a little long but I understand with the FB ads you’re running that you’re up to your eyeballs in orders. I did order it on time and it came exactly on the day of their anniversary. Also, I missed your half off sale and don’t have any other uses. Overall, I’d give you a 10 out of 10.

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.

Customer photo review of Custom Pet Metal Portrait

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.

Customer photo review of Wedding Anniversary Metal Portrait

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!

Improve the sawtooth hanger. It pulled out of the frame within the first 24 hours. The frame got damaged. It damaged my wall and it damages my new vinyl floor So I don’t like it.

Customer photo review of Custom Metal Portrait

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.

Customer photo review of Custom Metal Portrait

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. Clifford Howard

More questions.

What is a laser cut steel portrait, and how is it different from a metal print?

It is a physical artwork, not a print. An artist hand draws your photograph as solid shapes and open space, and that drawing is laser cut from 16 gauge steel, about 1/16 in thick, and powder coated silver. Four magnets hold the steel off the walnut or black frame, so it floats, casts real shadows and changes as the light moves through the day. A metal print is different: the artist's drawing printed in full color on an aluminum panel. We make both, and this is the cut one.

Can you combine several photos?

Yes. Turn on "Combine multiple photos" and upload them together. We merge the people into one composition.

How does it hang?

One screw. The screw and magnetic spacers are in the box, and the spacers create the floating 3D look.

How it works

  1. Upload your favorite photo
    Add names, a quote or a date. Pick your size and frame.
  2. Artists hand-draw it
    We send a mock-up for your approval, with unlimited revisions, then cut and powder-coat.
  3. Hang it with one screw
    Screw and magnetic spacers included for the floating 3D look.
