“You are the salt of the world. If salt loses its taste, how can it be salty again? … you are the light of the world. A city built on a mountain cannot be hidden. A man lights a lamp, not under a bushel, but on a lampstand, to light a family. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and give glory to your Father in heaven. ”

Matthew 5:13-16

「你们是世上的盐。盐若失了味,怎能叫它再咸呢?……. 你们是世上的光。城造在山上是不能隐藏的。 人点灯,不放在斗底下,是放在灯台上,就照亮一家的人。 你们的光也当这样照在人前,叫他们看见你们的好行为,便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父。」
‭‭马太福音‬ ‭5:13-16‬

The bridegroom Marcus and the bride Xiaofan are both devout Christians. They hope that their wedding will bring warmth and hope to their friends, become a channel for people to see good faith and do good deeds like Jesus Christ, just like we are indispensable – salt organic matter and light that can illuminate the darkness – light, which is not hidden under a bucket, but in a lampstand Shine on others. The bridegroom Marcus is the light and salt of the bride Xiaofan, because Xiaofan believed in the Lord under the guidance of Marcus.

新郎Marcus和新娘小凡都是虔诚的基督徒,他们希望自己的婚礼能给给朋友们带来温暖和希望,成为让人们看到美好信仰的管道,行出耶稣基督那样的好行为,就像是我们不可或缺的-盐-有机物 和 能照亮黑暗的-光 而且这样的光不是放在斗底下藏起来,而是要在灯台上照亮别人。
而新郎Marcus便是新娘小凡的光和盐,因为小凡正是在Marcus的引导下信主的。

This puppet is called Mr. long kiss. It’s a gift from Marcus to Xiaofan. It has a special commemorative significance.

这个小布偶叫Mr.Long Kiss,是Marcus送给小凡的礼物,有特别的纪念意义。

北京中国油画院婚礼 北京教堂婚礼 北京中国油画院婚礼 北京教堂婚礼 

The wedding was held in China Oil Painting Institute, where artists’ exhibition salon activities are often held, far away from the noise of downtown, especially the cathedral. The quiet atmosphere makes people feel calm.

婚礼地点选在了中国油画院,这里经常举办艺术家的展览沙龙活动,远离闹市的喧嚣,特别是其中的大教堂,恬静的氛围让人心情平静。

The gift from the new couple to the guests is a book about Christian marriage, “the meaning of marriage”, which I have also collected. After reading it, the most touching thing is that both parties in the marriage should try to serve each other and make each other satisfied, rather than just pursue their own satisfaction. This is the secret of marriage happiness.

新人送给来宾的回礼是本讲述基督徒婚姻的书《婚姻的意义》,我也收藏了本,读完最有感触的便是婚姻里的双方应该努力服侍对方,让对方满意,而不是只追求自己满意,这是婚姻幸福的秘诀。

Xiaofan, the bride, was so tired that she didn’t attend to the prayer before the ceremony, so she was nervous. While waiting outside the gate before entering the ceremony, she prayed to the Lord silently, hoping that the ceremony would go well. At this time, a breeze blows, and Xiaofan suddenly feels very stable. She knows that the LORD heard her prayer. So when Xiaofan saw this picture, she was very surprised. Unexpectedly, I caught this moment. Actually, I didn’t expect that there was such a magical story behind this subconscious shot.

新娘小凡在婚礼筹备期间遇到了诸多不顺遂的事情,身心倍感疲惫,以至于仪式前竟然没顾上祷告,因此心情惴惴不安,入场前在大门外等待的时候,她默默地祈求主,希望仪式一切顺利。就在此时,一阵微风拂过,小凡顿时感觉十分安定,她知道,主听见了她的祷告。所以当小凡看到这张照片时非常吃惊,没想到我竟然捕捉到了这一瞬间。其实,我也没想到,这张下意识的抓拍背后还有如此神奇的故事。

在如此空旷的教堂里,十字架前,新人说的每一个字都显得格外庄重,震撼人心,这一刻,我深信,上帝一定会听到他们的声音:

“亲爱的Marcus, 你,是我的良人,我最亲密的朋友,感谢 主让你进入我的生命,让我们共同经历 神的恩典。”

“亲爱的小凡,我们爱,因为 神先爱我们了。我深信,婚姻是 神所设立的,也坚信,他一定会保守我们的婚姻。 ”

“感谢你的不断的委身和服侍,感谢每一次合掌祷告,每一次亲 神的时刻……是你用委身和服侍,让这爱,满有耶稣基督的模样……”

“如今作为家庭的头,我会一生敬立,爱我们的 神,以舍己的爱心和耐心来爱你,接纳全部的你。存谦卑的心,服侍你……以耶稣基督为主,过讨 神喜悦的生活。”

“我必凭爱心,说诚实话,当你食言的时候,可以当面批评你,一旦得罪对方,便努力和好……即便患难,也并不沮丧,应为这短暂轻微的患难,是要为我们成就极大无比、永远的荣耀!”

“凡事祷告,凡事相信,凡事包容,凡事忍耐,永不分离,直到我们见 主的那个时刻!我,满心欢喜地娶你,惠凡,作为我一生一世的伴侣!”

The bridegroom gave the bride a special gift, sang a love song.​

新郎送给新娘一份特别的礼物,现场演唱一首情歌。

May God bless the new couple, Amen!

愿 上帝赐福于这对新人吧,阿门!

Postscript:

后记:

It’s lucky to get to know the couple. It’s not only by fate but also by the same aesthetic and values of both sides. The testimonial letter from the bride is attached as a harvest of the shooting. Of course, the more important harvest comes from the communication with the new couple and the influence of their ears. The secret of a happy marriage is to try to serve and satisfy each other The other side “committed” sacrifice, in the process of “committed” for the other side, both sides imitate Christ’s love for people, so as to better experience God, so marriage is sacred.

能够结识这对夫妇其实也是很幸运的,不仅靠缘分,更是需要双方具有相同的审美和价值观,附上新娘发来的感谢信,作为这场拍摄的一份收获,当然,更重要的收获来自于和新人的交流以及耳濡目染——幸福婚姻的秘密,是要努力服侍对方,让对方满意,就是为对方“委身” sacrifice,双方在为对方“委身”的过程中效法基督对人的爱,从而更好的去经历神,所以说,婚姻是神圣的。

Testimonial letter from bride Xiaofan:

“Although it’s more than half a year since the wedding, every time I look at the video records of the wedding day, I still feel beautiful in front of me. I’m very grateful to the Vincent team for recording the most special moments in our life. Choosing a wedding photographer who is compatible with their own aesthetic and has smooth communication is what we value very much. My husband and I both believe in Christ. The wedding theme is “light and salt”, because the Bible teaches that Christians should be the light and salt in the world, which is pleasing to God. When we started looking for wedding photographers, we were worried about how to communicate with them with such abstract information? Until I saw the works of a new Jewish couple shot by Vincent, he didn’t deliberately exaggerate the sense of religious ceremony but quietly recorded every moving moment through many details. This is what we want! After selecting the Vincent team, we simply communicated the wedding venue, theme and the part that we want to focus on documentary. At the moment when we got the finished product notice, it was beyond imagination. Every detail capture, the relationship between the characters and the environment, and the expression of the theme “light and salt” were all mixed in the works, just like a documentary film. We are very grateful to Vincent for his attentive record, which made this Christian wedding with Gospel news become an image gift and last for a long time. ”

来自新娘小凡的感谢信:

“虽然距离婚礼已经过去半年有余,但每次翻看婚礼当天的影像记录还是觉得美好就在眼前。非常感恩能由Vincent老师团队来为我们记录人生当中极其特别的时刻。选择一位和自己审美契合、沟通顺畅的婚礼摄影师是我们这对新人非常看重的。我和先生都有基督信仰,婚礼主题选择了“光和盐”,因为圣经当中教导,基督徒应该成为这世上的光和盐,这是蒙神喜悦的。开始寻找婚礼摄影师的时候,我们一度有所担心,这么抽象的信息怎么去和摄影师沟通呢?直到看到Vincent老师拍摄一对犹太教新人的作品,没有刻意渲染宗教仪式感,而是通过很多细节的捕捉静静记录下了每一个动人的时刻。这就是我们想要的样子!选定Vincent老师团队之后,前期只是简单沟通了婚礼场地、主题和想要重点展现纪实感的部分。而我们拿到成品预告的那一刻,简直超乎想象,每一个细节的捕捉、人物和环境的关系、“光和盐”主题的表达都糅合在作品中,像纪录电影一样一点点展开。我们非常感恩Vincent老师如此用心的记录,让这场包含着福音消息的基督婚礼变成一份影像礼物,长久留存。”
