A photographer was visiting the Grand Canyon with friends last week when he happened to take a beautiful shot that included a couple getting engaged in the distance. Now he’d like help locating the couple so that he can gift them a copy of his photograph as a memento of their special moment.

“I was on a road trip with some friends when we stopped off at the south Kaibab trail on the southern Rim,” says photographer Dan Chatfield. “I was taking different shots of the landscape when I spotted some people in the distance in isolation. I thought it’d make an interesting focal point so took the shot.”
