12 x 36 Bridal Editorial Wedding Photo Album Template

## Reusable Album Template Prompt — Exact 4-Photo Bridal Editorial Layout — 12″ H × 36″ W — Exact 3:1 Landscape

Create a **premium photorealistic bridal/wedding album spread** that recreates the supplied reference image **as closely and precisely as possible**.

This is an **EXACT-LAYOUT reusable album template**.

The **reference image is the absolute source of truth for layout and design**.

The **user-uploaded photos are the absolute source of truth for the people and photo content**.

Do not redesign, reinterpret, rebalance, simplify, modernize, or creatively alter the reference layout.

---

# FIXED CANVAS

The final canvas is strictly locked to:

**36 inches wide × 12 inches high**

**Exact 3:1 landscape aspect ratio**

Requirements:

- keep the spread strictly horizontal
- width must remain exactly three times the height
- do not convert to portrait
- do not crop the final page into another ratio
- do not stretch or compress the overall canvas
- preserve the same wide panoramic structure as the reference

---

# MANDATORY ASK-FIRST WORKFLOW

Before generating the album, check whether all mandatory inputs have been provided.

This template requires:

- **4 uploaded photos**
- **1 exact caption/title/sentence**, unless the user wants no text

If both are missing, respond only:

**“Please upload 4 photos for this template and tell me the exact caption/title/sentence you want displayed. If you don’t want any text, say ‘no text’.”**

If the user uploads the 4 photos but has not provided the text preference, respond only:

**“Please tell me the exact caption/title/sentence you want displayed. If you don’t want any text, say ‘no text’.”**

If fewer than 4 photos are uploaded, ask only for the remaining required photos and any missing text preference.

Do **not** generate the image until all mandatory requirements are satisfied.

Once all required photos and text preference are available, **automatically generate the album image**. Do not return the prompt again and do not ask additional questions.

# ABSOLUTE REFERENCE LAYOUT LOCK

Reproduce the reference image’s layout **as literally as possible**.

Treat all of the following as fixed:

- exact photo-slot locations
- exact relative photo sizes
- exact photo-frame proportions
- exact horizontal placement
- exact vertical alignment
- exact amount of white space
- exact curved-divider position
- exact faded grayscale portrait area
- exact narrow framed photo position
- exact coral/blush rectangular panel
- exact small framed portrait inside the coral panel
- exact large right-side portrait
- exact botanical decoration placement
- exact pale blue-gray abstract corner shapes
- exact margins
- exact spacing
- exact overlaps
- exact visual hierarchy
- exact overall balance

Do **not**:

- move photo slots
- enlarge one image unnecessarily
- shrink another image
- change frame shapes
- change the curve position
- change the coral panel size
- replace the grayscale portrait treatment
- rearrange decorative elements
- convert the composition into another collage style
- add extra frames or photos
- remove structural elements visible in the reference

The goal is:

**same layout, same geometry, same structure — only the uploaded photos and optional user text change.**

---

# FIXED PHOTO COUNT

This template uses exactly **4 uploaded photos**.

Use each uploaded photo once only.

Do not:

- duplicate a photo
- invent extra photos
- reuse one photo in multiple main slots
- replace an uploaded photo with generated content

---

# FIXED PHOTO-TO-SLOT MAPPING

Use uploaded photos strictly in this order:

### Photo 1

Place in the **large far-left vertical image slot**.

### Photo 2

Place in the **narrow center-left vertical framed image slot**.

Also use Photo 2, or the most compositionally suitable uploaded portrait if necessary, only for the **soft faded grayscale background portrait treatment** directly behind/adjacent to this area.

The faded portrait is a design treatment, not an additional photo slot.

### Photo 3

Place in the **small vertical framed portrait inside the coral/blush panel**.

### Photo 4

Place in the **large far-right vertical portrait slot**.

Do not change this mapping.

---

# ABSOLUTE PHOTO PROPORTION LOCK

This is a critical rule.

The user-uploaded photos must **never be stretched or distorted** to match the template.

For every uploaded image:

- preserve its original natural proportions
- preserve correct face proportions
- preserve correct body proportions
- preserve correct clothing proportions
- preserve correct object geometry
- preserve natural perspective

Never:

- stretch vertically
- stretch horizontally
- squeeze
- squash
- widen
- narrow
- warp
- skew
- distort
- reshape the person to fit the frame

If an uploaded image has a different aspect ratio from the fixed template slot:

**scale the photo proportionally and crop excess image area.**

Use:

- proportional scaling
- subject-aware cropping
- repositioning within the fixed frame
- safe face-aware framing

The **frame remains fixed**.

The **photo adapts through cropping, not stretching**.

The frame may crop parts of the original image if necessary, but the image itself must remain geometrically correct.

---

# SUBJECT-AWARE CROPPING RULE

When fitting uploaded photos into the fixed reference slots:

Prioritize keeping visible:

- faces
- heads
- important body areas
- hands where possible
- clothing details
- important jewelry
- central subjects

Avoid:

- cutting through faces
- awkward neck crops
- removing important facial features
- unnecessary limb cuts
- extreme zooming

However, never alter the fixed slot dimensions to save more of the photo.

The **layout stays fixed**.

Only the internal photo positioning may change.

---

# LEFT SECTION — EXACT STRUCTURE

Recreate the left side exactly like the reference.

## Large left photo

Place **Photo 1** in the far-left vertical rectangular image area.

Keep:

- same approximate width
- same approximate height
- same vertical placement
- same edge alignment
- same scale relationship to the rest of the spread

Do not enlarge it beyond the reference proportion.

---

# CURVED DIVIDER

Immediately to the right of the large left photo, recreate the large **white sweeping curved divider** seen in the reference.

The divider must:

- retain the same direction
- retain the same approximate curvature
- retain the same visual thickness
- separate the left image from the faded portrait region
- not be replaced by a straight line
- not be removed

---

# FADED GRAYSCALE PORTRAIT AREA

Behind the narrow center-left framed photo, recreate the same large faded grayscale portrait treatment.

This should look like:

- a softly enlarged portrait
- monochrome / grayscale
- low contrast
- pale
- elegant
- semi-transparent
- blended into the white/light background

Do not make it dark or dominant.

Do not turn it into a separate hard-edged photo frame.

It should remain a **soft background portrait layer**, like the reference.

---

# CENTER-LEFT NARROW FRAME

Place **Photo 2** into the tall narrow vertical frame.

Match the reference:

- narrow upright rectangle
- white/light border
- vertically centered
- positioned over the faded background portrait
- same approximate frame width
- same approximate frame height
- same visual spacing around the frame

Do not convert it into:

- a square
- circle
- oval
- arch
- large rectangle

---

# CORAL / BLUSH PANEL

Recreate the same coral/blush panel in the center-right portion of the image strip.

Keep:

- same approximate width
- same vertical position
- same proportion
- same muted warm pink/coral appearance

Do not replace it with a random color.

The panel should remain soft and elegant rather than bright or neon.

---

# SMALL FRAMED PHOTO INSIDE CORAL PANEL

Place **Photo 3** inside the small vertical framed portrait located within the coral panel.

Match the reference:

- upright rectangular frame
- pale/white border
- same approximate placement
- same approximate size
- balanced negative space around it

Do not center it differently if the reference is slightly offset.

Follow the reference placement.

---

# CORAL PANEL BOTANICAL DETAIL

At the lower portion of the coral panel, recreate the same subtle floral/botanical decorative silhouette.

Keep it:

- understated
- tonal
- elegant
- small
- secondary to the photo

Do not replace it with large flowers or heavy ornamentation.

---

# FAR-RIGHT LARGE PHOTO

Place **Photo 4** into the large far-right portrait area.

Match the reference:

- same approximate width
- same approximate height
- same right-edge alignment
- same dominance
- same close-up editorial feeling

Do not enlarge this image beyond the reference structure.

Do not allow it to consume the coral panel.

---

# TOP WHITE SPACE

Preserve the large open white/ivory area above the main image strip.

The top must remain mostly empty.

Do not fill it with:

- photos
- patterns
- extra frames
- large text
- heavy decoration

Recreate the subtle decorative elements only.

---

# TOP-LEFT BOTANICAL LINE ART

Recreate the same faint botanical line drawing near the top-left corner.

Keep it:

- light
- subtle
- thin-line
- low contrast
- partially cropped at the edge

Do not make it bold.

---

# TOP-RIGHT ABSTRACT SHAPE

Recreate the pale blue-gray organic corner shape at the top-right.

Keep approximately the same:

- size
- position
- softness
- shape weight

Include the subtle fine curving line detail seen around this area.

---

# BOTTOM WHITE SPACE

Preserve the large open white/ivory area below the central collage.

Do not enlarge the photos downward to fill this area.

This whitespace is part of the exact design.

---

# BOTTOM-LEFT ABSTRACT SHAPE

Recreate the pale blue-gray organic shape entering from the lower-left.

Maintain:

- same visual scale
- same edge-cropped appearance
- same muted tone

Include the thin sweeping line passing through/near this area as in the reference.

---

# BOTTOM-RIGHT BOTANICAL LINE ART

Recreate the delicate floral/leaf line illustration near the bottom-right.

Keep:

- soft
- light
- elegant
- partially cropped by the page edge
- visually secondary

---

# TEXT / CAPTION RULE

The original reference does not require copying any visible wording.

If the user provides exact text:

- use only that exact text
- do not rewrite it
- do not add additional wording
- do not copy wording from the reference
- place it only in suitable white negative space
- do not cover photos or faces
- keep typography refined and minimal

If the user says:

**“no text”**

then the final album must contain:

- no captions
- no names
- no dates
- no titles
- no decorative words
- no placeholder wording
- no watermarks

---

# STRICT IDENTITY PRESERVATION

The uploaded photos are the only and absolute source of truth for the people.

Preserve:

- facial identity
- face shape
- forehead
- hairline
- hairstyle
- hair texture
- eyebrow shape
- eye shape
- eye spacing
- nose
- lips
- smile
- cheek structure
- jawline
- chin
- ears
- natural skin tone
- natural age appearance
- body proportions
- pose
- clothing
- jewelry
- accessories

Do not:

- beautify
- reshape
- slim
- widen
- age-smooth
- lighten skin
- alter facial structure
- replace clothing
- invent jewelry
- create a pasted-face look

---

# NO PHOTO CONTENT INVENTION

Do not invent missing parts of the uploaded photos unless minimally necessary outside a crop boundary.

Do not create:

- new poses
- new people
- new hands
- new clothing designs
- replacement backgrounds inside the photographs
- different facial expressions

The photos should look like the originals placed naturally into the album layout.

---

# FINAL VISUAL TARGET

The final result must look like the supplied reference image with the same:

- composition
- photo hierarchy
- structural geometry
- frame placement
- spacing
- white-space balance
- blush/coral section
- faded monochrome portrait
- curved divider
- decorative botanical accents
- pale blue-gray corner shapes
- premium bridal editorial style

The only things that may change are:

1. the user-uploaded photo content
2. the exact user-provided caption, or no text

Everything else should remain as close to the reference as possible.
