A Michigan photographer has taken to social media to try and find a couple that he caught on film during their proposal in California.

On October 6, 2018, Matthew Dippel took the photo of the couple at Taft Point in Yosemite National Park, according to a report on Fox News.

The picture captures the mystery man on one knee as he presumably is popping the question to a woman in a dress.

"Honestly I couldn't believe what was happening," Dippel told Fox 17. "I didn't have a lot of time to act and I already had my settings ready to go and I just pointed my camera at them and snapped away."

Dippel searched for the couple after taking the photos but had no luck finding them. And despite having thousands of shares on social media, as of Friday morning, the couple remained elusive.

"I truly hope the photo finds you," Dippel added. "I've got a pretty solid photo for you and I'd really like to share it with you because it's a truly beautiful moment."
