Although they exchanged contact details immediately afterwards, the biting cold weather caused Mr Kent to misspell his email address - prompting a huge search to find the photographer.
Jessica Bowe, who took the picture, had appealed to the Reykjavik Grapevine magazine for help in tracking down the Britons - while in the UK, the newly engaged pair had launched a search of their own.
Mr Kent had wrote on Facebook: "If we could find that picture it'd be incredible. Below is the scene of the crime. If we can't find it, that's life I guess, I'm still very lucky."
Barely a week after the proposal took place, the couple and their impromptu photographer managed to connect the dots on Twitter - and they have since been reunited.
Ms Bowe, an American who has lived in the Icelandic capital for several years, told the Reykjavik Grapevine: "I usually post Instagram pictures of cats, jogging trails, randomly parked cars, sunsets or decorative latte foam.
"But I think after this I need to take my photographic style in a new direction, a la Humans of Reykjavik or something."
