For keeps

This one’s not for the album—it’s for the wall. In addition to her own still-life work, artist Sarah Miller accepts commissions for paintings of couples’ favorite wedding scenes, from candid engagement photos to their first look. It’s a great alternative for folks who want a more artful display of their big day.

She paints each work from high-res photography the couple supplies after the wedding, and turns around the keepsake piece in a couple months (“as far in advance as possible is always wise,” she says).
