The first photo we’d like to introduce is of the bride extending her palm toward the camera. It looks like they’re hiding their kiss scene with a "Don’t look♡” gesture.

The couple's anniversary is written on the palm with a marker.

The engagement ring with sparkling diamonds should be turned inward to ensure it’s prominently displayed in the shot.

Choose a special date, like the day you were proposed to, the day you registered your marriage, or your wedding day.
