Here’s a classic move that’ll never get old in the proposal world.

Think about it. You want to capture your proposal on camera, but you don’t want to be obvious. However, you may not be able to pay for the fancy people who take pictures for you in bushes. After all, they can cost a pretty penny. And of course, you don’t really trust your old college roommate or your cousin twice removed to hold the camera steady without making her suspicious.

So what’s the average Joe to do if you want to film your proposal?

Pretend that you’re taking a picture of course! That’s right. It’s so simple. You ask a friend to “take a picture” for you, but have them in on the proposal. They’ll have your camera on movie mode. Then just as your girl gets ready to show her pearly whites for a pictures, you turn her toward you and bear your soul.

Sure, she’ll be very confused for a couple of seconds but then she’ll be completely surprised. Talk about catching her off guard without the crazy bells and whistles. She’ll LOVE IT!

Watch this guy’s sweet form as he executes this tactic perfectly.
