‘On Friday we were walking from Tamarama Beach to Bondi Beach on the Coastal Walk. As usual, I was taking a few photos here and there which I then shared with my family and friends.’
‘Nothing out of the ordinary except that on one of them someone pointed out to me that there was a couple on the beach that looked like a guy was proposing to a girl,’ he wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.
‘It looked like it but we were not sure so I didn’t think too much of it.’
‘Today I got home and after downloading the photos I noticed that the photo was part of a sequence I took… it seems that, by coincidence I snapped three photos in the precise moment this guy was proposing!’
Martin said he would love to share the pictures with the couple and is hoping social media will help.
‘Hopefully the six-degree-of-separation-rule will help us find them,’ he said.
