From photograph to framed artwork

A personal commission, with you involved before production.

Marelle is not an instant print service. Your portrait is created first, reviewed by you, and only then produced as a framed artwork.

Upload your photograph

Choose the original, highest-quality photograph available. The configurator checks the file and lets you position the crop and print-safe area.

Place your order

Select Petite, Atelier or Galerie, choose Noir or Antique Gold, add any extras, and complete secure checkout through Shopify.

We create your portrait

Marelle prepares a painterly portrait from the crop you approved. Standard creation takes up to 5 working days; Express prepares the first preview within 1 working day and includes express shipping after printing and framing.

Receive your preview

We email you when the secure digital preview is ready. Nothing is printed or framed at this stage.

Approve, recreate or cancel

Approve when it feels right, request a recreation where needed, or cancel for a full refund before approval in line with our policy.

Printed and framed

After approval, the portrait is giclée printed on Hahnemühle German Etching 310 gsm, glazed with acrylic, framed and prepared to hang.

Shipped to you

Delivery is included, with express shipping for Express orders. Multiple portraits go to production together once all are approved or cancelled. We send a shipping update and tracking when the framed portrait leaves production.

Made with confidence

You are never asked to approve an unseen finished product.

The approval stage separates portrait creation from physical production and gives you a clear decision before the personalised artwork is made.

Preview before printing

You see the completed portrait digitally before it enters print and frame production.

A clear choice

Before approval, you can approve, request a recreation, or cancel for a full refund under our policy.

Fine-art materials

Hahnemühle German Etching paper, giclée printing, solid-wood framing and acrylic glazing.

Protected delivery

If your framed artwork arrives damaged, contact us promptly with photographs so we can put it right.
