Courtyard Staircase Formal Pre-Wedding Portrait

Create a pre-wedding portrait featuring couple in burgundy and charcoal formalwear posed on a broad courtyard staircase.

Prompt

Use the uploaded reference photo of two adults as the identity source for a couple pre-wedding photograph. If separate references are supplied, preserve the correct identity of each partner when combining them. Keep each person's facial structure, skin tone, apparent adult age, body proportions, hairline, and distinctive features recognizable; do not blend faces, swap identities, change ethnicity, slim bodies, or apply plastic skin retouching. Preserve any clearly visible mobility aid, religious head covering, and other identity-defining accessory, adapting the staging around it. Arrange the couple on a wide, shallow stone staircase in a quiet contemporary courtyard. Style them in coordinated burgundy and charcoal formalwear with clean, elegant lines. Place one partner on a step slightly above the other, each with both feet securely supported and bodies turned toward the camera; their heads turn gently toward each other. Keep hands relaxed and separate. Use a vertical full-length image with an 85mm perspective, architectural symmetry, soft late-afternoon side light, and natural stone textures. Keep vertical walls straight, step heights consistent, and the pose poised without resembling a wedding ceremony. Render one coherent photorealistic photograph with exactly two adult subjects, realistic anatomy, plausible contact shadows, and consistent lighting. Keep facial detail crisp without oversharpening. Follow any user-specified wardrobe preferences instead of the suggested colors or garments. Do not add text, captions, watermarks, logos, wedding ritual accessories, or extra people.

Upload your photo to the AI tool first, then use this prompt. The prompt asks the model to preserve identity and key visual features.

How to use it

  1. Upload a clear photo showing both adult partners, or one clear reference photo for each partner.
  2. Apply the prompt and specify any preferred outfits or accessories before generating.
  3. Check that both identities, body proportions, and visible hands match the references; use the relevant failure fix if needed.

Common failure fixes

  • If the height difference becomes exaggerated, use adjacent shallow steps and preserve body proportions.
  • If steps curve or repeat, specify regular straight stone risers and treads.
  • If outfits look ceremonial, remove veils, garlands, and wedding ritual accessories.
