Matthew was standing on the cliff with other photographers when the romantic moment unfolded in front of him. He snapped and raced around the point in search of the couple. He found 20 other couples, but not the one he had clicked. With no other measure in hand, he resorted to the internet for help. And as the picture went viral, various reactions have been pouring in.
While most were encouraging comments, some said that it was a staged moment and the couple's pose and clothes as evidence. In an interview with BBC, Matthew asserted that it was not staged at all. He said, "Everyone's been really supportive and they've come to my defence to people who are trying to question the validity of the photo. It's not staged at all. I don't know the couple, I'm just trying to figure out who they are."
