Photographer still searching for the engaged couple

Matthew Dippel, a Michigan photographer, was in Yosemite National Park in California when he directed his friend, Josh Van Gorden, to hike over to the famous viewpoint Taft Point to pose for a photo.

But instead of seeing Van Gorden emerge on the cliff, Dippel spotted two other tiny figures in the distance: one standing and one kneeling.

Dippel quickly realized that he was witnessing a marriage proposal.

He sprang into action. "I had my settings all ready to go - due to waiting for Josh - so I just snapped away and managed to get a beautiful photo," Dippel told Yahoo Lifestyle.

But he when he ran over to try to deliver the photo, he was unable to identify the lovebirds. "There were maybe 12 other photographers there along with three to four brides and grooms taking photos at the point, so it's not an uncommon thing to see," he said.

Determined to locate the couple, Dippel did what any reasonable person would do: He posted his best shot to Twitter. In the photo, the sun's rays are bathing the hikers as they're perched about 7,500 feet up.

He asked his followers, "Twitter help, idk who these two are but I hope this finds them. I took this at Taft Point at Yosemite National Park, on October 6th, 2018."
