   IMAGE ASSETS — real photography, imported into the WordPress media library:

   .about__image  — about section image, right-hand column, portrait 800x1000.
                     Attachment ID 150. Adviser and client reviewing a
                     retirement plan together at a desk in a bright London
                     office — chosen over the other candidates for its warm,
                     unposed feel (genuine engagement, natural lighting,
                     tasteful office detail) rather than a generic stock-photo
                     read.
                     URL: /wp-content/uploads/2026/07/meridian-about-adviser-client-meeting.jpg

   .hero__media   — hero right column, ~45% width, portrait ~4:5 (752x941).
                     Attachment ID 152. Glass-walled private office with a
                     London skyline view at dusk. The hero was upgraded from
                     Option A (pure typography) to Option C (split layout)
                     after reviewing 10 candidate photographs against the
                     theme's own warning that a photographic hero "fails
                     immediately with mediocre photography" — this one
                     architectural/abstract shot cleared that bar (clean
                     composition, no adviser/client faces to risk an
                     AI-artifact giveaway, genuinely premium feel), so the
                     deliberate Option A choice from the original build was
                     revisited rather than kept by default.
                     URL: /wp-content/uploads/2026/07/meridian-hero-office-skyline.jpg

   No other image slots are used on the homepage — the services teaser and
   about teaser remain typographic, by design, per the theme spec.

   SUBPAGE IMAGES — added when the site was expanded from a single homepage
   to a multi-page site. 8 of the original 10 candidate photographs were
   reviewed for this pass; 5 were rejected outright as generic corporate
   stock (overhead chart-and-laptop flatlays, forced-grin handshake-style
   group shots, faceless suit-and-tie stock clichés) per the theme's own
   warning that a photographic layout "fails immediately with mediocre
   photography." Three cleared the bar:

   .services__aside-image — services.html, single supporting image beside
                     the numbered list (not one-per-service, per theme spec
                     which forbids card/icon grids for services).
                     Attachment ID 169. A quiet, warmly-lit desk scene —
                     chosen for its calm, editorial, faceless composition.
                     URL: /wp-content/uploads/2026/07/meridian-services-considered-desk.jpg

   .about__image--alt — about.html, second section, image-left/text-right,
                     paired with the "Independent by Design" content block.
                     Attachment ID 171. An adviser reviewing charts at a
                     wood desk in soft window light — considered and quiet,
                     without the generic "team meeting" read.
                     URL: /wp-content/uploads/2026/07/meridian-about-desk-review.jpg

   .contact__image — contact.html, small quiet supporting image beside the
                     contact info panel (the form remains the visual focus).
                     Attachment ID 173. A thoughtful, unhurried moment before
                     a conversation — matches the page's tone.
