A few extra tips
- Upload a clear photo where both faces are visible and well lit, so Gemini keeps both of you looking like yourselves.
- Coordinate your outfits in complementary tones rather than matching exactly, so you look put-together but not too uniform.
- Ask for the ring hand to be in view, since a visible ring is what makes it read as an engagement photo.
