No. 02Tips

Getting a better picture from a prompt

  1. No. 01

    Say who, where, light and lens

    A good prompt names the people, the setting, what they wear, the kind of light and the camera feel. The builder always includes all five, and the library prompts do too.

  2. No. 02

    Change one thing at a time

    If the picture is close, change one word, such as the light or the lens, and try again. Changing everything at once makes it hard to see what helped.

  3. No. 03

    Describe, do not imitate

    Describe the look you want in plain words: hair, clothes, mood. Naming a real person or asking for their likeness is not allowed here, and many tools refuse it too.

  4. No. 04

    Check the details

    Image tools can get hands, fabric and small details wrong. Look closely before you share a picture, and say it is AI-made when you post it.

No. 03Around the prompts

Choosing a look before you prompt

A prompt is easier to write when you know the look. Try the wedding color palette generator for colors, take the wedding theme quiz if you are undecided, and use the wedding hashtag generator to name the album you share the pictures in.

Good questions

About the ai wedding photo prompts.

Are these ChatGPT and Gemini prompts?

They are plain-text prompts that you can paste into ChatGPT, Gemini or another image tool. We do not run any of them here, and results differ from tool to tool and from day to day, so treat each one as a starting point.

Is the prompt generator free?

Yes. The builder and the library are free, need no sign-up, and nothing you choose is sent to us. No image is made on this page.

Can I use my own photos with these prompts?

You can attach your own photos in the tool you use. Tick "I will attach my own photos" and the builder adds a line asking the tool to keep your faces and features natural. Some tools limit edits of photos of real people, so read the rules of the one you use. We never see your photos.

Can I ask for a celebrity or a famous couple?

No. The builder refuses extra details that name or imitate a real person, and none of the library prompts do. Describe the look you want instead, such as hair, clothes and mood.

Can I make prompts for a pre-wedding photoshoot or an engagement shoot?

Yes. Pick a scene and the casual attire, or describe your own clothes, and choose a pose such as walking together or laughing. The library has a detail shot for every scene as well.

What about cultural or traditional wedding clothes?

Choose "Describe your own" under Attire and write the clothes in plain words, for example the colors and the garments you wear. The prompt uses your words exactly as you wrote them.

How long are the prompts?

Between about 150 and 700 characters. That is long enough to carry the scene, the clothes, the light, the lens and the mood, and short enough for any tool to read.

Does this make the picture for me?

No. To make portraits from your own photo on this site, use the AI wedding photo generator, which runs on credits. This page only writes the prompt.
