"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.
