Ring, camera, action! Kanye West's proposal to Kim Kardashian 'was filmed for her reality show'

Even though they've been dating for almost two years, Kanye West has not been much of a presence on his fiancee Kim Kardashian's reality show.
So it comes as a surprise that when he popped the question in San Francisco's AT&T baseball park on October 21, the entire thing was filmed for Keeping Up With The Kardashians, according to TMZ.
'Multiple cameras were rolling during Kanye's proposal,' a source told the site, adding, 'there's plenty of material for the Kardashian reality show.'
In shots from the event posted on Instagram, TV cameras can be seen in the background.
Action! According to TMZ, camera crews were present when Kanye West popped the question to Kim Kardashian on her 33rd birthday at San Francisco's AT&T baseball park

E! did not return calls to MailOnline, nor did Kim's publicist.
The proposal was not short on theatrics that would make it prime-time worthy.
The rapper rented out the entire baseball stadium, hiring a 50-piece orchestra to play Lana Del Rey's Young And Beautiful and having the marquee light up with PLEEESE MARRY MEEE!!!'
There might be a reason there were so many Es in his plea - after all, E! is the network that would be airing the engagement.
The timing couldn't be any better. Kanye, 36, asked for Kim's hand in marriage on her 33rd birthday - only heightening the drama - which just happened to take place knee-deep in filming for the ninth season of the hit reality series.
The family has been seen all over Los Angeles filming, most publicly on October 10 when Babyface got his star on Hollywood's Walk Of Fame.
The rapper also made sure plenty of his love's nearest and dearest were present at the proposal.

Kim's mom Kris Jenner - who is also a Keeping Up With The Kardashians producer - was front and center as well as Kim's siblings - and co-stars - Kendall and Kylie Jenner, the latter who bought her boyfriend, After Earth star Jaden Smith (the son of Will Smith). Kourtney was also present.
Even Jonathan Cheban made the scene with his girlfriend Anat Popovsky, as well as Girls Gone Wild producer Joe Francis.
A party was thrown after the proposal where a sea of guests can be sipping white wine.
Even Kim's new bling is camera worthy.
In a snap posted on Instagram, Kim can be seen holding her hand towards the camera as she flashes her 15-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond engagement ring.

A report from People claims that the Stronger singer had been 'planning this for awhile,' adding, 'He's known he wanted to marry her.'
The weekly also insists the former Playboy cover girl was surprised by it all.
'She was shocked and couldn't speak after,' a source who witnessed the proposal told the publication. 'Everyone had mascara running down their faces from tears.'
The source adds, 'It was an emotional moment for her. She's been wanting this to happen. She loves Kanye so much.'

And it's a wrap: The matriarch was clearly in on the planning of the proposal as she thanked Larry Baer, the CEO of the San Francisco Giants, in a tweet

TMZ adds that Kanye, who was reportedly very 'hands on' during the proposal, has 'final approval' over whether the event can be used for the series or not. So while the whole thing was shot, the film could end up on the cutting room floor.
Still, Kris seemed to be extremely involved as she thanked San Francisco Giants CEO in a tweet and even posted a photo with him.
Kris Humphries proposal to the Kardashian Kollection designer in 2011 was also shot for the family's reality show and his subsequent nuptials made into a wedding special for E!
So was Lamar Odom's proposal to Khloe Kardashian.
