How to use this prompt

Ensure that the photos match the composition's requirements—if only one image is provided, both faces will be derived from it, while two separate images will allow for individual customization. Maintain the aspect ratio of 9:16 for a vertical format, and adjust facial details to ensure accurate representation of features. If the result doesn't match well, check the alignment and quality of the reference images for clarity.

Experiment with soft pastel colors for the dawn-light halo to create a more ethereal effect.
Incorporate a rich emerald green for the backdrop to contrast with the antique gold details.
Adjust the font size and spacing in the typography for better readability on different screens.
