Photography enthusiasts Deng Qian and Yang Qu decided to celebrate their love for each other by incorporating a photographic exhibition into their wedding reception.

On Saturday, the couple traveled from Macao to their hometown of Chongqing in southwest China to hold their combined wedding reception/photographic exhibition several months after they tied the knot.

More than 100 photos of the couple's life together were on display, as well as the people and sites of Chongqing and Macao.

Deng Qian said the belated exhibition/wedding was exactly what she had dreamt of.

She takes photos as a hobby, while her husband is a professional photographer. The couple had to delay their wedding reception due to work-related demands but they planned their combined reception/exhibition for a long time.

Deng Qian says she originally only wanted to show her family their life in Macao, but she later decided to share their love and happiness with more people.
