Proposals & getting engaged: Proposal photos and video

A hidden photographer captures the real reaction. A friend with a phone works too. Agree a signal, check the light and tell them to keep shooting after the question.

The key points

  • Book a photographer used to hidden proposals
  • Choose a spot with good light and a simple background
  • Agree a signal, such as kneeling or a jacket off
  • Plan a few portraits straight afterward
