"Garden Proposal Milestone Couple Portrait"

Edit this photo. Keep both subjects' exact facial bone structure, eye 
shape and color, nose shape, lip shape, jawline, and skin tone 100% 
identical to the original photo. Body build and proportions unchanged 
for both individuals. This is non-negotiable.

EMOTIONAL INTENT (design goal): This should feel like a genuine 
"relationship goals" proposal moment — the kind of photo any couple 
would want to remember one of the biggest days of their life by. Real 
emotion, real touch, not a stiff stock-photo distance. Both partners 
must look equally flattering — neither should outshine the other.

LIGHTING SETUP (as a real photographer would dial it in): Key light — 
warm golden-hour sun filtering through a flower-covered garden arch, 
acting as a soft warm key from camera-left, low angle. Fill — soft 
ambient sky light from above, gently balancing the warm key at close 
to a 2:1 ratio so shadows stay soft. Rim light — the low sun grazes 
both subjects' hair and shoulder edges from behind, creating a bright 
golden rim. Catchlights in both sets of eyes should be warm and 
emotional.

LENS & OPTICS: Simulate an 85mm lens at f/1.8 — flattering facial 
compression, background rendered as a soft dreamy wash of golden bokeh 
from blurred flowers and garden greenery, gentle fall-off in sharpness 
away from the focal point, faint natural vignette at the corners.

FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Warm romantic-milestone film response — highlights 
bloom softly rather than clipping, shadows lifted gently rather than 
crushed black, warm amber-gold midtones, natural true-to-reference 
skin tones for both.

Style: Coordinated elegant outfits — the woman in a flowing pastel or 
ivory dress, the man in a smart-casual shirt or light blazer in a 
complementary tone — realistic and relatable, not an exaggerated glam 
transformation for either person.

COUPLE BIOMECHANICS & NEW POSE (must differ from reference photo): One 
partner down on one knee holding a small ring box open toward the 
other, the other partner's hands raised to their mouth in surprise, 
one hand reaching out toward their partner's, both bodies caught mid-
reaction rather than posed calmly, natural weight shift on the kneeling 
partner's front leg.

NEW EXPRESSION (must differ from reference, face identity unchanged 
for both): Genuine overwhelmed joy — eyes wide and glistening, an 
open emotional smile or soft happy tears, unguarded and spontaneous, 
not composed or stiff expressions.

RETOUCH PIPELINE: Frequency-separation-style retouching — smooth 
tonal transitions on skin while fully preserving fine pore-level 
texture and natural color variation for both subjects. Subtle dodge-
and-burn to retain natural facial planes, no flattened or washed-out 
glow.

FINISHING: Fine film grain overlay at low opacity, very slight 
chromatic softness at the frame edges as a real lens would render, no 
digital sharpening halos, natural imperfect crop as if not perfectly 
composed in-camera — a genuinely caught moment, not a staged shot.

Ensure zero facial distortion for both subjects, anatomically correct 
hands with natural finger placement (especially around the ring box), 
and consistent shadow/light-source logic across both people and the 
garden background.
