Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for both people. Preserve both people's recognisable faces, natural skin tones and relative heights as closely as the model permits; check each person against the reference.
Scene: a haldi ceremony in a sunlit courtyard at the family home in Lucknow, marigold garlands hanging overhead, brass bowls of turmeric paste, relatives blurred and out of focus in the background.
Moment or Pose: the bride and groom sit side by side on low stools; one smears haldi on the other's cheek while both burst out laughing, heads tilted toward each other. Petals falling through the air.
Clothing: her in a yellow cotton saree with floral jewellery, him in a white kurta pyjama, with yellow haldi streaks on cheeks and arms.
Light: bright late-morning sun filtered through marigold strings, warm yellow glow, soft shade on faces.
Camera: 85mm at f/2, candid angle from the side, faces sharp, petals softly blurred.
Style: Indian wedding photojournalism, vivid yellow and orange, natural skin under the turmeric.
Format: vertical 4:5.
Avoid: changed faces, faces fully covered in paste, extra fingers, plastic skin, text, watermarks.
