The short answer
How do you film a surprise proposal?
We plan it with you on a brainstorming call, scout hidden positions and set up before anyone arrives. The day before, Bebo hands you a hidden mic and walks the plan once more, with a plan B and C for weather and timing. You get a 60 to 90 second teaser and the highlight film.
John & Autumn · Barcelona, Spain
One question. A whole new chapter.
A city to explore. A question on the beach. The people waiting to celebrate with them. Watch John and Autumn’s full proposal film, with every word and the sound on.
More proposals
Different plans. The same butterflies.
Three steps
Plan it once. Feel it forever.
- 01
The brainstorming call
“We never just go and film.” Every proposal starts with a planning session: the spot, the light, the route you’ll walk, where everyone hides, what happens right after the yes. We take the time to brainstorm together until there’s a solid plan.
- 02
The day before
Bebo meets you in person, hands off the hidden mic, and walks the run-of-show one more time, golden-hour timing, a plan B if the weather turns, a plan C if plan B does. You bring the ring. The logistics are ours.
- 03
The moment
We’re in position before anyone arrives. Multiple angles, clean audio, drone overhead for the big reveal when the location calls for it. You ask the question. We get it the first time because there is no second take.
The whole moment
The question. The yes. Everything between.
- Brainstorming session
- The plan, the spot, the timing, built together before anything is filmed.
- Day-before walkthrough
- Bebo meets you, hands off the hidden mic, and rehearses the run-of-show with you.
- Filmed unseen
- Multiple angles from positions scouted in advance. Nobody clocks the cameras.
- Drone for the big reveal
- When the location allows it, the moment gets an aerial angle too.
- 60–90 second teaser
- Made for the announcement: the group chat, the feed, the family thread.
- The highlight film
- The whole moment, start to finish, with the audio of what you actually said.
Fady & Brianna · After their save-the-date session
Less camera-conscious. More yourselves.
“you didn't feel like there was a camera there. You just got to enjoy time together”
“It just made it feel a lot more authentic, fantastic.”“This was supposed to be a save the date shoot. I don't know what happened.”
Before we talk
A few things you might wonder.
01Will they know you're there?
No, that's the whole craft. We scout positions on the brainstorming call, we're set up before anyone arrives, and we film from where we can't be noticed. We disappear when we need to. Couples tell us “we forgot you were even there” at weddings, where they know we're coming. At a proposal, only one of you does.
02How does the hidden mic work?
Bebo meets you the day before, hands you a hidden mic, and walks the plan one more time. All you do before stepping out of the car is hit the red button. The shaky breath, the question, the yes, every word, recorded clean.
03What if the weather turns or the timing slips?
That's what the planning is for. We never just go and film. We build a plan B and a plan C with you: backup spot, backup light, backup timing. If the day moves, the plan moves with it.
04What films do we get?
A 60–90 second teaser made for sharing, and the highlight film of the whole moment. Some couples keep the highlight private (what you said is personal) and share only the teaser. Want every second? Ask about the documentary edit: the full proposal, in real time, letting the moment breathe.
05How fast do we see the film?
About six weeks on average, capped in writing at under three months, and films are all we do, full-time. Announcing at an engagement party? Tell us the date on the call and we'll plan the edit around it.
06Does the proposal count toward our wedding film?
Proposals are how many of our wedding couples start with us. We keep the footage, so the story can carry into your wedding film. If you have a Golden Ticket, mention it when we talk.
