| AN ENGAGEMENT Sometimes a special moment requires a special touch. Sgt. Matt Guthas wanted to make the moment that he proposed to the lovely girl he wanted to marry a magical moment. I arranged to meet Sgt. Guthas and his future fiancee at Tribble Mill Park in Grayson, GA, and pretended not to know either of them. The plan was that I was photographing couples in the park that would be used for a special feature article in a local paper. His creative idea was to have her portrait drawn with the engagement ring already on her hand. He was given permission to hang the painting in a local gallery, and also asked a photographer to be nearby as he and she strolled through the gallery. At the moment she recognized their portrait, and noticed the ring on her hand in the painting, Matt knelt down on one knee and proposed to his lovely bride to be Ashley Brock. And of course, she said "Yes". The couple will wed November 10, 2007 Congratulations Matt and Ashley! |
