What Makes It Uncommon

Earth has more than 7 billion people—and you two somehow found each other on one little piece of it. Let John and Rachel Stewart commemorate your romance’s most auspicious spot with a beautiful, watercolor-style portrait.

  • Upload a photo of your special place—where you met, had your first date, got engaged, or any location that’s uniquely meaningful to your relationship (it can even be a secret just between you two).
  • John and Rachel will transform your photo into a dreamy watercolor-style artwork digitally printed onto wood.
  • Personalize with a descriptive caption (like Where We Met or Where She Said Yes), plus your names and the date.
  • Remember the place but don’t have a picture? Images that you find online will work just as well as your own photos, so search away.
  • Choose from 3 sizes, all framed and ready to hang.
  • Handmade in Michigan.

John and Rachel Stewart always dreamed of turning their creative endeavors into a full time job. Eventually they got up the gumption to leave their corporate jobs and used their skills to create and sell all kinds of personalized prints. Now a family of three, they get to spend time doing what they love while making family memories with their son. "We want our art to be a reminder that every unique journey is beautiful and is a thing to be celebrated. We're so appreciative of our customers who have shared their stories with us. We can't wait to see what's next."

Blown away

Looks absolutely incredible! Amazing details, great quality frame, easy to order, and arrived much earlier than expected. I ordered the 11x14 frame and it's the perfect size. Highly recommend!

What a unique and thoughtful gift option

This gift really appealed to the romantic in me. Fortunately I was able to find online a photo of the outside of the restaurant where my wife and I had our first date, and the artists with Uncommon Goods did an uncommonly good job of recreating it in watercolor. It is a precious keepsake for us to have forever, and certainly was the perfect small gift to commemorate our 10 year wedding anniversary. I can always count on Uncommon Goods to help me show my best side in my marriage!

Accommodating and beautiful

I bought this for my girlfriend as a birthday gift, however it was sent to the wrong address. The first piece could not be located. UPS 's fault, not Journey print shop's fault. They subsequently sent me another piece and when I finally got it, my girlfriend and I loved it. THANK YOU Journey print shop!

BEST GIFT!

The company took an average picture I sent them of the restaurant where my son got engaged and they made a beautiful piece of art. The engaged couple loved the gift. A great keepsake and memory for them.

Very cute

Turned out better than anything could have done myself. The frame has more weight to it than I realized so it feels very sturdy.

Fabulous artwork

I ordered a custom digital print watercolor for my son and daughter-in-law for Christmas. The turnaround time was so much quicker than expected. And the quality is even better than I had hoped for. The artist was very responsive to questions I had. I can't recommend her enough!

Cheap looking - not at all like watercolor art

Echoing some of the other reviews - be warned this is not quality art. This is a filter on photoshop to give a watercolor-esque look to the picture, printed out and put into a cheap frame.

Response from merchant

I’m sorry to hear this didn’t meet your expectations. We do receive a lot of positive feedback on this piece and have seen very few issues, but we still want to take your concerns seriously. We also try to be as transparent as possible on each item page. For this item, the description notes that John and Rachel transform your photo into a dreamy watercolor-style artwork that is digitally printed onto wood. That said, we never want you to feel disappointed with what you received. We’re reaching out directly in case we can do more to help.

Great idea !!!

Loved the personalization of this product. I knew immediately when I saw it, my niece would love it. It's a keepsake for that will be cherished by the two of them

Great customer service with wonderful outcome!

I ordered one of these as a surprise for my husband, but when it arrived I was not happy with the background color or the layout of the writing. After reaching out to customer service they went above and beyond to remake the print to my specifications and expedite the order so that I received it in ample time for the holidays.

The photo I have of the restaurant I would like to upload has a car in it as well as in the reflection of the windows - is it possible to take those out of the photo? I would love one of just the restaurant!

Verified reply from Iriscelis

The artist is unable to make any edits to the photo provided. We apologize for any inconvenience. If possible, it would be best to edit the photo with the desired changes before uploading it for your order.

My image includes the couple in the photo and I want the painting to include them, are you able to paint people?

Verified reply from Michael

Yes, the maker includes whatever is in the original photo.

Our first date was at a Restaurant in the evening.... it appears that all of your examples are pictures in the daytime. If my photo is surrounded by blackness, with lights on the front and inside of the building, how will that be portrayed?

Verified reply from Allison

Yes! The maker confirmed that you can definitely use an evening photo - if it's a night sky and mostly black, it would be rendered like a black sky in a watercolor painting, using shades of purple and gray tones.

  • Plano, TX

I don't see a place to include special instructions - for example, the place we met is a concert venue, I would like to include a specific band to have listed on the venue's marquee. Is this possible, and if so, where do I put the special instructions?

Verified reply from Itamar

Great suggestion! At this time, the "Where it All Began Couple Art" print is a direct representation of the image you provide. The artist does not manipulate the image's' content.
