A Seattle couple who met via their shared love of photo sharing app Instagram have announced their engagement - two years after their first real life date.
Newly-engaged photographers Bethany Olson and Cory Staudacher first 'met' via Instagram in 2011, when a friend of Bethany's posted a picture of Cory, prompting her to follow his account.
'I thought, dang this guy is talented and cute,' she confessed to BRIDES magazine. 'So I started following his work!'
Love at first sight: As soon as Bethany saw a picture of Cory pop up on her Instagram feed, she thought he was 'talented and cute'
The perfect location: Cory proposed on the same beach where the couple had their first official date
It didn't take long for the pair to strike up an online relationship, which quickly developed from a simple 'like' on an Instagram photo to lengthy chats via Facebook and Twitter.
And after months of online messages, texts and phone calls, the couple, who lived less than one hour away from one another, arranged their first real life meeting.
'In summer of 2012, I started working at a Vitamin Water stand for a huge music festival in Seattle,' Bethany said.
