Weddings can be truly unique but want to go one step further and create something that is derived only from the two of you? A DNA portrait uses your DNA to create an artwork using your unique genetic codes which are then combined and transferred onto canvas, as a photograph or laser etched on crystal.

As for how they’ll get your DNA. It’s quite simple with a swab kit for your inside cheek, which is sealed and returned and destroyed after the art is created. Prices start at £415 for a small portrait to £745 for large and £1200 for crystal sculptures.
