The holiday season is upon us!
And I must admit that I cannot help but feel soo amazingly thankful for this incredible year! As you can see from my latest reviews, aside from being able to travel to my dream country, Greece (which is so much better in reality), I also had the most marvelous opportunity to travel to Paris (photos of my adventures in France coming soon)!
Styleat30 has definitely grown and collaborated with so many fascinating businesses all over the world and there are no words to describe how I feel now except for the simple, humble, sincere feelings of gratitude. I make it a point that not one day passes by to thank God for all the opportunities that came my way. He is truly the most awesome Giver. ♥ And true to His plans, more wonderful news with Styleat30 are on its way… so stay tuned!
In the meantime, I couldn’t help but reminisce the most blessed time I’ve had this year: Our Big Day! Our most awaited wedding was set on a gorgeous summer day this past August. My husband, Rafael, has been very supportive of this website where he’s even agreed to take photographs for Styleat30.com even though his actual profession is so far from it! Won’t you say he is actually doing a wonderful job anyway? :)
Our wedding was like a fairytale and, soon, I will be uploading some wonderful reviews on the vendors that we’ve selected for our Big Day. Meanwhile, I keep on looking at our phenomenal photos, enjoying every single moment and reliving the most beautiful day of our lives.
This season, I am so pleased to announce that Styleat30 has partnered up with Artistic Photo Canvas who helped develop a couple of photos from our Engagement Shoot and The Big Day come to life!

As an avid photographer and artist, I am always on the look-out for companies who can produce high quality products that can communicate my vision. I am a very detailed-oriented person and have always pursued high quality items over poorly made products. I am happy to share that when placing my order on the APC website, I learned how easy it was to navigate their website. I manage e-commerce websites as a profession and, believe me when I say, I am truly impressed. Here are some more photo options that I thought about printing too. i found that portraits and lanscapes worked best!
I received an email shortly after placing an order that a photo featuring a landscape would be better and that the current selection of my photo may not produce what was intended by me. It was explained that the slight brush stroke feature that I selected on one of the canvases would distort the faces of the photo. My original photo selection below:
I appreciate their honest feedback for my selection and decided to switch the photos where the large canvas would feature a landscape shot. For the landscape shot, I selected a 30” x 20” Thick Gallery Wrap Canvas Print. This divine photo was taken at Laguna Beach during our engagement shoot in the summer. It really brings out the pink and purple hues of the sunset that day. It almost looks like a real painting. APC did an amazing job rendering it. The job is simply done to perfection!
For those that prefer their photos au natural, here’s another sample done in a magnificent 42″ x 28″ Thick Gallery Wrap Canvas Print that displays a gorgeous shot during our wedding surrounded with my pretty bridesmaids. We all loved this shot! It’s so “Vogue”!
I received my order three days later at our doorstep. There were many stickers on the box stating how fragile and sensitive it is but one of the boxes still arrived with a puncture. Fortunately, when opening the box, I discovered the canvas inside had another layer of protection so there was no damage to the canvas at all. Great job putting the packaging together APC! With so much effort placed on the packaging, I’m surprised they’re offering free FedEx shipping for orders of $50 or more. The canvases’ corners were hugged by Styrofoam and were completely covered by a sealed plastic wrapping. It had all the canvas hanging equipment available where all I had to do was hammer in the nails on the wall. I liked the self-leveling hanging hardware that I chose to go with my canvases (APC has multiple options to choose from with regards to the canvas’ hanging hardware) where leveling adjustments can be made without making so much as two holes in the wall. I certainly appreciate that very much as it is very convenient to no longer spend a lot of time measuring and adjusting the frames on the wall until it is perfectly level.
As soon as I easily hung the canvases on our wall, the images were truly vivid and lifelike. The colors look so bright and well balanced on the canvas. The brushstroke feature on our landscape shot looked even more special and dramatic. Whatever they do on those canvases, they are doing it extremely well as the quality shown on the canvases are simply breathtaking. I’m truly happy and satisfied with how APC reproduced my photos.
APC is a very professional company that is truly concerned with customer service and its assurance of delivering high quality products! I cannot thank Lew and Camille enough for their patience and thoughtfulness communicating with me regarding my order throughout the whole process. They really make you feel like they care about your photos and the finished products. I invite photo enthusiasts and professional photographers alike to check them out at ArtisticPhotoCanvas.com.
