Erin and Brian | London Ontario Wedding Photography

Over two years ago they had their first date at Chapters. They grabbed a coffee and spent a few hours looking at books and talking. By the end, neither, wanted to leave, and both wanted to see each other again. Before they knew it, they were dating. Then, before they knew it, they were in love.

Erin was invited to go to Scotland in June of 2009, to stand up with her friend who was getting married, and she asked Brian to go with her. After they started planning the trip, they decided to go to Paris for a couple of days on their way to Scotland. On the first day they arrived, Erin and Brian headed out right away to do some sightseeing. They started out at the Arc De Triumph, and walked down the amazing Champs Elysees. Then they had to cross the Siene River to get to the Eiffel Tower, and ended up on the most beautiful bridge in Paris, Ponte Alexandre III. As Erin and Brian were standing there on the bridge, looking out at the city, Brian said that he had to talk to her about something. He was so serious, she thought something was wrong! He stuck his hand in his jeans pocket and pulled out the ring. As Erin stood there in shock, he told her how much he loved her and he got down on one knee. Women were walking by calling out, “Bravo! Bravo!” and clapping, and he asked Erin to be his wife. Of course she said Yes! He later told Erin that he had planned on asking her at the Eiffel Tower, but that in that moment, on the bridge, it just felt right.

Lee Mann Productions team had an amazing day with Erin and Brian and their families and friends celebrating on their wedding day July 17th, 2010! Their reception was at The Old Court House, downtown, London, Ontario. Congratulations from our team and best wishes for an awesome life together!!

Erica and Bryan | London Ontario Wedding Photography

He knew he wanted to marry her. He told his grandma right from the beginning he would marry her. He tucked notes at the school they were working at, in her pockets. With an amazing sense of humor and both with winning smiles and hearts that are huge with love for others and each other Erica and Bryan woke up to an amazing day of sunshine on July 10. You usually hear that opposites attract and quite often that is true but in the case of this couple there are so many similarities! They both love their families, they are creative, they love sports, they teach, they love working with kids and they absolutely love laughing and having fun and love people! There was not a cloud in the sky as the guests gathered at the Baseball Hall of Fame, St. Mary’s Ontario. Erica and Bryan love baseball and the wedding was themed around baseball.

It was beautiful and the grounds where the reception was held at Grandma Westman’s farm were breathtaking. Erica, her grandma and family hadn’t missed any details and everything was amazing as the guests had an incredible time. The night ended in fireworks and a dance under the beautiful tent and our LMP team had a great time working with everyone and we want to wish Erica and Bryan a most incredible life together and best wishes as they share all their joys and dreams!

Anna and Jamie | Engaged | London Ontario Engagement Photography

Anna and Jamie met in Christmas 2006 while they both worked at London Health Sciences Center (Although, Anna had met his sister a year before while travelling in Australia, which made for a very interesting connection as they found this out later. And that their mothers had worked together before we were born)

He persistently pursued her as she played hard to get. Then one day at work, they both just happened to end up in the elevator….just the two of them, as Anna hesitated to get on it knowing that he liked her. It was the most awkward conversation and what felt like the longest elevator ride ever. It was then he asked her for her number and he tried on several occasions to set up a first date.

Anna was not very accommodating, as she was still reluctant to date at all. After many failed attempts, they finally set up a first date.

Jamie took Anna snowmobiling (taking the city girl out into Ilderton) at night and packed a hot chocolate for the trip. They stopped at a snowmobiler shack in the woods and a series of funny events happened there…needless to say, they ended up in candlelight when all the while the light switch was there, and a pack of snowmobilers stopped in to join them. It made for an awesome first date, and Anna remembers wishing she was already in love with this guy because it was so perfect. Well, Jamie’s persistence paid off and 2 1/2 yrs later Jamie planned a trip to the very shack that they had their first date. It was spring time so they trudged through the fields instead of snowmobiling. He packed a lunch and chocolate milk. She was suspicious that something was up that day…after recapping their whole first date, in casual conversation he asked her to marry him. It was the greatest Easter ever. 3 1/2 years later now, and they are so in love and excited for the future, and after 3 years of having a long distance relationship, as she was in Buffalo for school, they are more than ready to get their lives started! Anna says, planning their wedding has been quite an adventure. Even more exciting, they bought a house in Arva, Ontario this year, got a new puppy (Mahoney) and are very excited for the wedding and a trip to the Philippines probably after the wedding. Anna says, “to this day, she thanks God that she got into that elevator!”

Our Lee Mann Productions Team couldn’t have had a greater time with them during their engagement shoot! Natural from the moment we got together- they were amazing. From the stop at their house they just bought, and being entertained by their new puppy….to the trip to the park with Jamie’s motorcycle and then the trip to his volunteer work with the Ilderton Fire Station!!! This couple is so much fun…thanks guys..you rock!! LMP has been so incredibly blessed to have couples to work with that are so amazing and you guys are one of them!! The Team couldn’t ask for a better way to spend September 18, this year than doing photos and cinema at your wedding!! Congratulations and we look forward to having a great time with you at your wedding!! Congratulations and our very best wishes to you both!!

Candice and Tyler | Engaged | London Ontario Engagement Photography

When we get together with our couples to do their engagement shoot, often at the first they’re just a bit nervous but within minutes they’re laughing and joking and having a great time with natural smiles on their faces and sometimes they even forget that we are there grabbing shots of them. Candice and Tyler were one of those couples that just were free to be themselves and they brought along their dog as well. They wanted some shots in the country so our LMP team didn’t have to go too far and had a great relaxing evening with both of them, just being themselves and having fun. With their wedding just in August they are so busy planning and making everything perfect for their special day. Our team is so excited to shoot their wedding and to be there with them on August 7/10! Congratulations Candice and Tyler!
