Emma and Devin were married this last May on a gorgeous Thursday afternoon at the Washington D.C. Temple in Maryland. Everything about their day was perfect. Emma and Devin are so well matched and you can just tell that they are not only in love, but best friends too. They both met while studying at Brigham Young University. Even though Devin is from another country, it didn't stop them from pursuing their relationship. When I say another country, it's not like he was from New Zealand, but …

My road. I get to run on this sweet piece of earth as often as it's not raining. Every day it …
Eugene & Yueh Yee Tie the Knot at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens: Washington D.C. Wedding Photographer
This was my first wedding at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, Virginia.

Their wedding was my last August wedding and even though it was a warm …
