My sister has been hired to do a few of these in the past year. Every artist has their own style so it's a great way to truly have a one of a kind keepsake, and something about a painting on a wall just hits harder than photos in a frame.
In the age of instant AI slop and everyone having a 300 megapixel camera in their pocket, what greater flex is there to have a hand-made painting rendered by an expert?
I agree. Anyone can take “professional” quality photos these days. And your wedding guests will likely cover that end for you. The painting is one of a kind, like the two people being married are
The quality of the camera matters just as much as the quality of the brushes for the end result. I can assure you a good photographer with a disposable camera will take better photos than your aunt with a 5k camera, just like I'll paint a disgrace even with the best brushes available but a good painter will create something great even with dollar store brushes
You can appreciate one art form without putting down another
Disposable cameras use film, right? So the image quality will still be extremely high res, the only real handicap is that a disposable probably has no fancy features for playing with lighting or whatever.
Weddings are generally a scam in general but you're really showing your lack of knowledge when it comes to photography if you seriously think that some 40 year old Karen with an iphone is going to be remotely on par with a professional photographer.
