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
