12 x 36 Indian Wedding Botanical 4-Photo Album Template

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

Create a **premium photorealistic wedding/engagement album spread** that recreates the **same layout structure, exact photo-frame arrangement, frame proportions, spacing, large white negative space, typography zones, botanical decoration placement, overlapping relationships, and elegant editorial balance** of the supplied reference image.

This is a **layout-locked reusable album template**.

The supplied reference image controls the **design and layout only**.

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

---

# FIXED CANVAS

The final album spread is strictly:

**36 inches wide × 12 inches high**
**Exact 3:1 landscape aspect ratio**

Requirements:

- extremely wide panoramic horizontal spread
- width must remain exactly three times the height
- do not convert to portrait
- do not crop the final design into another ratio
- do not stretch, squeeze, compress, or distort the composition
- maintain the full 36 × 12 album-spread feeling
- preserve generous white space exactly as part of the design

---

# MANDATORY ASK-FIRST WORKFLOW

Before generating the album, check whether all required inputs have been supplied.

This template requires:

- **4 uploaded photos**
- **the user's exact caption/title/sentence, or confirmation that they want no text**

If anything is missing, ask for all missing requirements in **one message**:

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

### Important

Uploading photos alone must **never automatically trigger generation** if the text choice has not yet been provided.

Do not assume that the user wants the wording visible in the reference image.

Do not copy any sample wording from the reference.

Once all 4 photos and the user's text choice are available, **generate the album automatically without asking additional questions**.

# FIXED PHOTO-TO-SLOT MAPPING

Keep the upload order permanently mapped as follows:

### Photo 1 → Far-left vertical frame

- tall portrait-oriented image
- occupies the left edge of the central design band
- same width, height, crop style, position, and margins as the reference
- apply a sophisticated monochrome/black-and-white treatment **only if necessary to match the reference layout styling**
- do not change the people, clothing, pose, expressions, or scene contained in the uploaded photograph

### Photo 2 → Large center-left landscape frame

- largest photograph in the spread
- wide horizontal rectangular crop
- positioned slightly right of Photo 1
- reproduce the exact scale and placement relationship from the reference
- thin minimal rectangular outline/frame structure extending around this photograph
- photograph remains full color unless the source itself is monochrome

### Photo 3 → Small center-right vertical frame

- narrow portrait photograph
- positioned above the primary text area
- significantly smaller than Photo 2
- maintain the exact reference width-to-height relationship
- clean straight rectangular edges
- preserve the same white breathing space around it

### Photo 4 → Far-right large vertical frame

- tall portrait photograph
- placed near the right edge of the spread
- substantially larger than Photo 3
- same width, height, crop, top alignment, bottom alignment, and right-edge relationship as the reference

Never exchange photo positions.

Never duplicate a photo to fill another slot.

---

# ABSOLUTE FRAME & LAYOUT LOCK

The **photo frames must follow the supplied reference image as closely as possible**.

Do not reinterpret the design.

Preserve:

- exact number of photo frames
- frame shapes
- frame orientations
- relative frame sizes
- frame alignment
- frame spacing
- distances between images
- negative-space proportions
- overlapping relationships
- central horizontal visual band
- top and bottom whitespace
- thin-outline graphic frame around the central photograph
- position of the small vertical image
- right-side portrait placement
- left-side portrait placement
- typography zones
- botanical decoration zones

Do not:

- turn rectangular frames into circles, arches, ovals, torn paper, or polygons
- add extra photographs
- remove photographs
- create additional borders
- create thick frames
- make all photographs equal size
- automatically center every photograph
- redesign the composition into a conventional grid

The **asymmetrical editorial composition of the reference is intentional and must remain intact**.

---

# COMPOSITION STRUCTURE

Reproduce the reference's visual architecture.

### Upper region

Keep approximately the upper third of the canvas predominantly clean, warm off-white/ivory negative space.

Do not fill this area with unnecessary graphics.

### Main photo band

Arrange the four images across the middle portion of the album in the same sequence:

**Photo 1 → Photo 2 → Photo 3 → Photo 4**

Maintain the same alternating portrait/landscape rhythm.

### Lower region

Preserve a large amount of open ivory negative space.

A subtle oversized botanical illustration may enter from the **bottom-left corner**, matching the scale and placement behavior of the reference.

---

# CENTRAL PHOTO GRAPHIC DETAIL

Around **Photo 2**, recreate the fine-line editorial framing seen in the reference:

- extremely thin neutral outline
- understated rectangular construction
- line extending above and below the photograph
- minimalist graphic treatment
- one tiny circular accent at approximately the upper section if present in the reference
- no thick border
- no drop shadow
- no ornate picture frame

The line treatment must remain subtle and secondary to the photograph.

---

# BOTANICAL DECORATION

Use delicate, desaturated botanical illustrations inspired by the reference.

Include approximately:

- pale gray-green leaves around the upper center-right area
- fine beige/gold line-art leaves near Photo 3
- soft eucalyptus-like stems
- pale foliage emerging beside the central typography area
- understated botanical cluster near the lower center-right area
- large translucent botanical branch entering from the bottom-left

Style:

- watercolor-like
- muted
- elegant
- very low visual weight
- gray-green
- warm beige
- soft ivory
- lightly transparent

The plants must never overpower the photographs.

Do not introduce bright flowers, heavy tropical plants, or dense decorative borders.

---

# BACKGROUND

Use a premium album-paper appearance:

- warm white
- soft ivory
- very subtle creamy undertone
- clean matte finish
- almost textureless
- no dramatic gradients
- no dark background
- no colored blocks filling the full spread

The background should create the same sophisticated high-end wedding-album feeling as the reference.

---

# TEXT HANDLING — STRICT USER TEXT RULE

The reference image contains sample wording.

**Never copy or reuse that wording.**

Only use wording explicitly supplied by the user.

If the user provides a caption/title/sentence:

- reproduce it **exactly**
- do not rewrite it
- do not correct it
- do not translate it
- do not add quotation marks unless supplied
- do not invent names
- do not invent dates
- do not add “LOVE”
- do not add romantic quotes
- do not add filler text

Style the supplied wording using typography inspired by the reference.

Possible typography hierarchy:

- one larger elegant editorial word/title
- smaller accompanying sentence when the user's supplied wording naturally contains multiple parts

Maintain the reference's approximate typography area **beneath and slightly left/right of Photo 3**, without moving the photograph to accommodate excessive text.

If the user says:

**“no text”**

then:

- remove every textual element
- do not retain sample reference text
- do not leave fake letters
- do not insert placeholder wording
- keep the typography zones as clean negative space

---

# PHOTO SOURCE LOCK

Every uploaded photo is authoritative.

Preserve the source photograph's:

- facial identity
- skin tone
- facial structure
- hairstyle
- age appearance
- body proportions
- clothing
- jewelry
- accessories
- pose
- expression
- relationship between people
- scene content

Do not:

- replace people
- create new people
- beautify faces
- reshape facial features
- lighten skin
- age-smooth
- change clothing
- alter jewelry
- change hairstyles
- create pasted-face effects
- merge people from different uploads

Only crop/reposition each photograph enough to fit its designated template frame.

**Never stretch, squeeze, widen, narrow, warp, or non-uniformly scale any user-uploaded photograph. Every photo must preserve its original aspect ratio and internal proportions at all times. If a photo does not naturally match the assigned frame ratio, scale it proportionally and crop the excess edges as needed. Never force the complete image to fit by distortion.**

---

# PHOTO CROPPING RULE

The album template controls the **frame**, not the original photographic content.

Crop each uploaded photo naturally to fit its assigned slot while prioritizing:

1. faces
2. people
3. important interaction
4. natural body proportions
5. visually important details

Never stretch a photograph to fill a frame.

Never distort
