DIY Photography– Depending on the nature of your proposal, using your camera phone as a decoy can be a great way to capture the moment.  When you arrive at your proposal destination tell your future fiance that you want to take a picture.  You can then set up a self timer to capture every moment from dropping to your knee to slipping the ring on their finger.  If you choose to go the camera phone route we recommend that you do a few trial runs before the big day.  This way you will be comfortable with all the settings and will be able to get the perfect picture.

Professional Photographer– If you don’t want to worry about taking the photos yourself another great option is to hire a professional photographer.  Hiring a professional photographer not only relieves you of the responsibility but also gives you professional quality photos to share with your friends and family.  You may think a photographer would be a dead give away to your intentions but there are many ways to cover up their presence. Tell your sweetheart that you won a raffle at work to have a professional photography session or involve your entire family and make it family photoshoot day.  Many proposal photographers like our partners will even shoot from a discreet distance so you won’t need a decoy at all.

Video– Video is a great way to capture your proposal from start to finish so you can relive the moment for years to come.  One way to record your proposal is by setting up hidden cameras recording the proposal from several different angles.  Have a friend come in moments before to start recording so you don’t miss a beat.  Another option is to hire a professional videographer.  A professional videographer will guarantee you a beautiful outcome and will even edit and produce the final cut from the day.
