Wang Qiang had just photographed the bride-and groom-to-be when the ground started shaking. He heard stones falling from the 100-year-old church nearby. "I shouted to people, 'Run! Run!'" said the photographer yesterday. "The ground shook and we couldn't see anything in the dust." Mr Wang's wedding shoots on May 12 in Bailu town turned into an eerie record of natural disaster.The church was a popular spot for wedding photos. The earthquake left it in tatters. "The building collapsed within 10 seconds," said Mr Wang, who lives in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, the hardest-hit region. Clouds of dust filled the air. When the dust settled, everyone stood up and realised they were safe, Mr Wang said.
