Why do migrant couples take wedding photos at the construction site?

On August 23rd, 56-year-old construction worker Zhang Mingbi finally put on a wedding dress and took a long-awaited wedding photo with her husband Luo Xinyuan at a construction site in Jialing District, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province. Construction sites full of reinforced concrete and simple board houses where people usually live have become shooting sites. During the 6-hour shooting, the years between lovers are warm and tacit.

Married for 3 1 year, and finally took a wedding photo.

Luo Xinyuan, 54, and his wife Zhang Mingbi are from Yingshan, Nanchong. 1986, the couple got married, and under the family burden of two children and one daughter, the couple worked outside for many years. "When I got married, I didn't even have one. I always felt that I owed her. " Luo Xinyuan said that his wife is three years older than him. His family was poor when he got married, but his wife followed him for 3 1 year without complaining. Their relationship is very good. "Now that the children are married, every time I look at the child's wedding photos, I know that she is envious." ?

At 7 o'clock in the morning on the 23rd, the couple began to make up and started shooting at 9 o'clock. Under the command of the photographer, the two men cooperated tacitly, looked at each other, held hands, hugged, and romance and tacit understanding overflowed the screen. The reinforced concrete site where they usually work, the board house where they live, and the Jialing River where they occasionally walk have all become their shooting places.

"For so many years, we have traveled all over the construction sites in most cities in China. I never dreamed that I would take this group of wedding photos on the construction site." Zhang Mingbi has been working in the construction site for a long time and has always had short hair. At the shooting scene, the makeup artist heard that Aunt Zhang was also a beautiful woman with long hair when she was young, so she found her a wig. Long braids make Aunt Zhang happy like a child. ?

Pay tribute to the city builders. Five couples took their first wedding photo.

Zhang Xu, 26, and his wife Gao Min also took a group of wedding photos on the same day. "I always wanted to take her to take a wedding photo after I got the certificate, but it costs several thousand yuan to take a set, which is too expensive for her to bear." At the shooting scene, Zhang Xu was happier than his 23-year-old new wife. ?

According to Wang Min, secretary-general of the Volunteers Association of Gaoping District, Nanchong City, the shooting of the day was a Qixi charity event organized by the association in cooperation with a number of caring enterprises. "Nanchong has been experiencing high temperatures recently, and the construction workers who are fighting on major projects are quite hard. Therefore, this Tanabata, we dedicated the public welfare perspective to construction workers and a group of urban builders. " ?

"I was very shy when I started shooting, and it was unnatural to face the camera." Photographer Xiaoxue said that many of the day's shooting relied on snapshots to capture the interaction and romance between construction workers and couples. There are three sets of costumes in the whole shooting, besides the wedding dress and cheongsam, there are also their own work clothes.

It is understood that the first film has been filmed, and the completed wedding photos will be given to the five couples of construction workers on September 1 day (the day before Qixi). ?

It is very meaningful to hold such activities on the eve of Qixi. I hope more ordinary workers can experience such happiness.
