Photographers are ebonygonna photograph.

So when Mike Karas spotted the perfect sunset moment between two newlyweds, he captured it with his zoom lens — even though he was several hundred yards away and not the official wedding photographer.

"I was with some other hikers and saw [the couple] pop out on that ledge just as the sun was setting," Karas told Mashable."It was surreal."

And he took a surreal photo to match.

That glorious backdrop is Taft Point in Yosemite National Park, where Karas was walking along the Pohono Trail.

Karas said he took pictures — not just of the couple, but of the entire golden scene — until the sun set completely.

When he went home, his friends encouraged him to find the two lovebirds so they could see the photo for themselves. One pal even sent the photo to the Oregonianhoping to catch the press' attention.

It worked. By Tuesday, the couple was found — though their wedding photographer David Copenhaver stated that they wish to remain anonymous.

Still, Karas is grateful for the chance to give them an unexpected wedding gift.

"As much of an amazing moment it was for me to capture, it was clearly an even more special moment in [their] life." he told a Bay Area NBC affiliate.
