Viswanath and Moorthy's bodies were recovered from a steep rocky area beneath the lookout on Taft Point on Thursday, according to park
spokesman Jamie Richards.The Taft Point promontory offers views of the valley floor 3,000 ft (900m) below and has become a popular spot for
romantic photos and wedding proposals.Image Copyright holidaysandhappilyeveraftersholidaysandhappilyeverafters"We still do not know what
caused them to fall," Mr Richards told the San Francisco Chronicle
"We're trying to understand what happened
We may never know, (but) from everything we see, this was a tragic fall."The couple maintained a blog called Holidays and HappilyEverAfters
where they described themselves as "travel obsessed".On the blog, Moorthy called herself a "mermaid-haired wanderess who loves to waltz with
words" and her husband "Captain Creative who wows me and everyone with his phantasmagoric photographic skills".They both graduated in 2010
from the College of Engineering, Chengannur in Kerala state, which took to Facebook to mourn the "accidental demise of its two
alumni".Vishnu's brother Jishnu Viswanath told the Associated Press in India that the two apparently fell while taking a selfie after
setting up their tripod near the ledge on Tuesday evening
He said the two were married four years ago at a Hindu temple in Kerala, and that their funerals would take place in the US.Viswanath had
worked as a software engineer for Cisco and was planning to move with his wife from New York to California for the job.On their Instagram
account they posted to their 14,000 followers last March of the danger of taking selfies from dangerous locations.Skip Instagram post 2 by

people have died in Yosemite this year.Last month an Israeli teenager accidentally fell to his death while taking a selfie from another part
of the world-renowned park.
