How to use this prompt

Provide two clear photos for reference, ensuring the man's and woman's faces are distinct and visible. The prompt expects soft, vintage aesthetics with a focus on warmth and authenticity, so ensure the details of their outfits, expressions, and setting are as described. A good result will retain the low micro-contrast and film grain, evoking the feel of a faded snapshot from the 1980s. If the colors appear too sharp or the faces too polished, adjust the lighting and vintage effect in your generation settings.
