In pictures: Wedding photos show quake

A series of wedding photographs taken moments after an earthquake struck China's Sichuan province on 12 May have been released.

Five newly wed couples were posing for the camera in a deserted Catholic seminary in Pengzhou when the quake struck.

Pengzhou is about 15 miles (25km) from the provincial capital Chengdu.

The century-old seminary in Pengzhou was destroyed in the quake.

All of the couples escaped without injury.
