Passer-by accidentally captures proposal at The Pinnacle@Duxton, seeks couple through viral Reddit post
A netizen who unexpectedly snapped photos of a couple’s proposal is now looking for the pair to send them high-resolution images of the moment.
Benoit, a Singapore-based photography enthusiast, posted photos of a couple holding hands while standing at the iconic skybridge of The Pinnacle@Duxton, a 50-storey public housing development located along Cantonment Road.
In the next photo, the man had dropped to one knee, with their hands still interlocked.
Speaking to Stomp, Benoit said that he had spotted the couple at around 1.30pm on May 25 while having lunch at Guoco Tower.
He added in the post’s caption that he snapped a photo of the “nice scene” which appeared to show “two people hugging against the skyline”.
“Then I noticed the guy getting down on one knee,” he recalled. “I kept shooting, and later when I zoomed into the photo, I realised I had accidentally captured what looks like a proposal.”
He explained that the photos “turned out pretty nice” and he wanted to send the couple high-resolution files, hoping that the pair or their friends would come across the post.
“I’ve been into photography for a long time, mostly street and urban photography, so I tend to notice little moments like that when I’m out and about,” he told Stomp.
The Reddit post garnered over 1,600 upvotes, as netizens gushed over the heartwarming moment.
“Wow that’s an amazing shot, I would totally have it printed, framed, and hung at home if I were them,” one netizen said, while others described it as a “great coincidental shot” and a “breathtaking scene”.
