Beg, borrow or steal, " just for a little while..." that wonderful photo of your parents’ wedding. Not the one the professional photographer took where they look nice but sort of stiff and formal; the one an old friend took, where your dad’s hand is over your mom’s and they’re smiling at each other as they cut into the big white wedding cake. Or maybe the one taken a few moments later where they’re laughing and feeding each other cake. Was your father was a military officer? Maybe there’s a beautiful, dramatic shot of your parents leaving the church and walking under an arch of swords held up by uniformed soldiers? Printed onto canvas, any of these photos would make an incredible gift. An anniversary portrait like that would not only be a wonderful memory and a piece of family history, it would be beautiful, one of a kind art.

Printing your parents’ anniversary portrait on canvas gives it real artistic impact. A beautiful image on stretched canvas really pops off the wall, commanding your attention in a way that simple photographs, no matter how large or how impressively framed, cannot. The texture of the canvas, the way the colors and details show up all combine to make your photos look like real original art.

With a process known as giclee printing, Canvas Press uses state of the art, high-resolution wide format printers to transfer your precious photograph on to 100% cotton canvas. Your canvas is then stretched on to a high quality stretcher frame just like original canvas art. The giclee process is the method preferred by professional artists and photographers for making faithful reproductions of their original work, and that’s just the kind of quality you want for a gift as important as this one: your parents’ anniversary portrait.

Not only will this anniversary portrait look as classy and professional as original art, but it does not need to be framed with protective glass. No glass means there is no annoying glare to deal with, no distortion of the color or image, and no special lighting is required. If you choose our gallery wrap option, your art will not even need to be framed. Not only will you avoid the considerable expense of glassing and framing your art, but canvas prints are easy to care for and durable. Our canvas is specially treated to be UV resistant and can even be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge. Your image will be printed onto the canvas with archival ink, meaning that with proper care, your parents’ anniversary portrait will still be beautiful years from now: something your grandchildren and great-grandchildren can treasure.

Not only will you be giving your parents something they will treasure and talk about for years to come, but you won’t believe how easy it is to order. Just go to www.canvas.com and our exclusive online Canvas Creation Tool will walk you through the five easy steps.
