Photo 3:The stunned couple huddles together at the church ground during initial tremors.

Photo 4: 'I shouted to people, 'Run! Run!'' said photographer Wang Qiang.'The ground shook and we couldn't see anything in the dust.' As the dust began to clear, the true extent of damage was only beginning to appear...

Photo 5: A cracked facade was all that remained of the 100-year-old Church of theAnnunciation after the quake. Most of the church 'collapsed in 10 seconds,' said Wang,who lives in Chengdu, capital of hard-hit Sichuan province.

Photo 6: Soon after the quake, the people at the seminary set out for a nearby village,but residents warned them the route was blocked. 'We could still hear landslides,'Wang wrote in an online account of the disaster. So they stayed overnight in atent and made it to the village the next day, thanks to help from a truck driver.

Photo 7 & 8 : A scarf from a wedding dress lies forgotten in front of the seminary. Wang said he thought the catastrophe would strengthen the bonds ofthe couples who were there that day: 'Having gone through a life-and-death test,they surely will clasp hands and grow old together.' No one was harmed at the above location. But it was a good wedding photography though.
