hi Eunice

Good to see your posting again after a long break. I see your photography interest is still going strong.

One day I must visit Kelantan after hearing so much about this place. Small towns always come with good hospitality and friendliness. For a marriage in such a town, it must be a big event and many friends will arrive from outstation to participate in the celebration.

The blue sky and sunny day looks good for this shot with a good contrast of natural green palm, trees etc. Of course the couple are caught in a good intimate closeness and mood. But I suppose this is not the best pose to shoot a portrait.

They are caught from behind, it is fine but the bottom is cropped to make it appear like incomplete. If you wish to focus on the 2 of them, just zoom into the couple and forget about the sky and palm trees. It is difficult to have both.

I recently posted a shot from behind in Cambodia and you can have a look. Perhaps you can get a stronger bond between the newly weds in a similar way.

Sorry if I sound a bit negative but you have done a good start by wishing to show their close bond. The idea is great and you can expand on it by looking at the different ways of putting it into your photos.

Good shooting!

Greetings from Borneo.
