Robert reveals that behind the scenes he was intricately involved in helping set up and plan the proposal. So that he could take pictures of the surprise proposal, he hid in the bushes of the gardens at Australia Zoo. Speaking to Access Hollywood, he explains:

"I wanted to capture the moment beautifully. I wanted great photos. To do that, we sought a plan where Chandler would be kneeling and where Bindi, who I sort of filled those shoes for the testing. I had the camera on a timer and got some pretty awesome shots of Chandler on one knee proposing to me."

"The most beautiful surprise. Chandler and Robert worked together to capture the moment I said 'YES.' We were in the gardens of Australia Zoo and it was beyond perfect. I never even knew Robert was there photographing and I'll always be grateful to have these special memories of the most amazing day of my life," reveals about her engagement.
