Earthquake Weddings Edit
Photos in the Wake of the China Quake

Since the California earthquake has our mind on earthquakes once again, it’s an appropriate time to showcase this dramatic gallery of photos taken on May 12, 2008 in Sichuan, China.

A photographer was capturing a couple on their wedding day in Pengzhou. Wang Qiang’s breathtaking photographs begin with a shot of the church setting before the quake struck, then move on to show emotion-charged images of the people as devastation shattered the surrounding structures.

The aftermath of the 7.8 Richter scale earthquake was captured by many photographers, but its ones with a story line, such as these, that really tug at hearts.

This would be a great inspiration for a movie.
