Two dash marks at the corners of my picture when saved in .pdf

Beginner AI user who just created a gorgeous Wedding Banner.  I placed a picture within the banner and softened the edges around the picture.  It looks PERFECT on the screen and when I saved it in .AI     However, when I save it in .PDF and open it, there are those two dash marks at each corner of the picture.  I don't know why or how to get rid of them.
