Baiyang subdistrict in Qiantang district, Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang province invited a professional photography team to take wedding photos for 12 local senior couples.

The photo service was done to mark Chongyang Festival, or Double Ninth Festival, a day for seniors that falls on Thursday, Oct 14 this year.

"Back when we were younger, nobody had the spare money to take wedding dress photos when getting married and it was quite accepted to take a black-and-white photo," said one of the couples who had always wanted to take a set of wedding dress photos.

They said that the community workers helped make their dream come true.
