It wasn&#8217;t easy and it was still crowded, but patience was the key. In the end, we got the pictures that we wanted. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/Lili-Nigel-Engagement-0014.jpg\" alt=\"Engaged couple looking at each other with cherry blossom trees and Jefferson Memorial in the background.
