Love on the ice. For this sweet couple they grew up absolutely loving the ice. She loved figure skating and he loved hockey.Jessica figure skated since she was 2 years old and Ryan played hockey since he was 4 and both sports shaped the people they are today. Ry and Jessica met when he moved to london from Calgary in grade 10. They were friends right away after she gave him her number for a group project. They texted non stop and were really good friends for a couple years and eventually she got up the guts to ask him out and they’ve been happily ever after ever since! They did long distance for a while when he went to school in Toronto and Jessica went to Western. She moved to Toronto as soon as she graduated. Ryan proposed while they were on a Carribbean cruise with her parents in 2010. The love and dedication they had to their sports has now been transferred into love and dedication for one another!
Congratulations Jessica and Ryan! Lee Mann Productions Photography Team can’t wait till the summer for your wedding.

Our photo and video team often have the opportunity when we meet couples that we just absolutely know that our team is a good fit for them.
When couples tell us that they love creative, romantic, a bit out of the box photos and at the same time they want the shots to be fun and modern, it excites our team!
We include engagement shoots with most of our packages because it’s a great time for our couples to get to know our team as well as us to get to know them so on the wedding day is one less stress they don’t have to worry about and they can enjoy every minute.
Well, when we met with Rachel and Chris it’s one of those times when we just connected and couldn’t wait to do their Engagement Shoot!
They have so much great chemistry together and he feels like the luckiest guy to have her and soon to be married to her. He is so good for her and they compliment each other perfectly.
They love to drink wine and hang out together or go to a nice restaurant downtown. They love Starbuck’s and just having a great time enjoying each others’ company.
We are really looking forward to doing their wedding next August. We’re blessed to have another super couple to look forward to shooting their wedding in 2012!
Congratulations Rachel and Chris!

Well, we almost never get rained out of an engagement shoot because warm rain is fun but not when it is so cold. We just got started and had only taken a couple shots when down it came so we told Brittany and Eric let’s go inside and carve the pumpkin they had picked out and so this is just part one of their Engagement Shoot and we’ll be sharing part two at a later date, when we get back outside for some more shots.
Brittany and Eric love doing things together as most couples do and so for them, carving a pumpkin and roasting the seeds a couple days before Halloween is something they would have done anyway. So doing it while us capturing shots was fun. Great suggestion Lee to carve their wedding date!
You could tell as Brittany and Eric worked together they just connect so well and they are so fun together.
Thanks to you two for a great experience and we can’t wait to go and shoot again.
Congratulations to both of you!

Andrew and Brandea met through their mutual friends, Adrian and Liseann, who are now married!. They spent their first meeting getting to know one another and, a few days later, went on their first official date. They’ve been together ever since.

Last year, they decided to make a move to British Columbia. Before Brandea made the move west with Andrew, she did a volunteer trip to Malawi, Africa. The day she arrived in BC after her trip to Africa, Andrew surprised her by asking her to marry him! Recently, their careers have brought them back to Ontario, where they hope to settle down permanently.

Andrew and Brandea are excited for their destination wedding in Mexico in May 2012!

Most couples come to our team at Lee Mann Productions, for a few reasons it seems. They often can’t really put their finger on what it is that they like but some words like creative, modern, and a great experience come up in our conversation with them.
Lee and the team just can’t seem to sit still and do the ordinary as that’s boring for everyone. Every couple wants shots that don’t look the same as any other couple. They are unique and they want their photo and cinema experience unique too.
We also want people to enjoy the experience. Sure at first the engagement shoot might feel a bit awkward for some, but the advantage of a team working with you is that before you know it we are laughing and you are having fun, enjoying the experience, almost forgetting that we’re taking pictures. We definitely do direct in the shots, although we’re not really into the stuff that looks too posed. We want a real look with real expressions and real connections between our couples, and that comes when people are comfortable.
Well, many times it just makes our job so fun, cool and rewarding when couples come to us and they love having photos taken. They’re not exactly sure how it should be done but they’re willing to work outside the box a bit. Then we get excited and with Ellen and Kevin it was just like that.
The evening was lovely and great to go to the beach and when all eyes were on them on the Main Street of Grand Bend, Ontario they might have felt a bit awkward at first, but soon they just had fun! Then we took them to a spot that was very private and we were able to get some shots down at the beach and they had some balloons that were fun props as you can see.
Ellen and Kevin met and started dating in high school. While doing 4 years at McMaster University, for Ellen and 4 years at Queen’s University, for Kevin, they both worked hard. They currently live in Toronto, while Ellen is attending Brock University for Teacher Education
The two have a new baby -their new puppy Ruby.
Ellen and Kevin love the beach as it means a lot to them as they got engaged in St. Augustine Florida on the beach in April 2011.
Their wedding is set for August 2013. Congratulations to the two of you, Ellen and Kevin. Have fun planning your wedding!

When someone set them up, one of the things that clicked was that at the time they both worked for the London Public Library and had a love of books and reading. Julie and Kevin later moved on to both working at Western, with Kevin working at Taylor Library where Julie would often go to visit him. Their mutual love of books and years spent working in libraries just made sense that that would be a great place to do engagement photos. Western itself also jumped out to them since they both went there, and work there now. they also love the beautiful campus that Western is. Julie and Kevin love the woods too as they got engaged out in the woods in Lion’s Head, Ontario.
We’re looking forward to doing their wedding next summer in 2012.
Congratulations Julie and Kevin!

Eight years seems like a long time. They met during her first year of university at McMaster where he played varsity football and she says she was a bit of a nerd in health sciences. It often starts out as “just friends,” but after a year she eventually realized that if he was such a great friend, he might also be a great boyfriend!
They’ve been dating ever since and have a wonderful relationship, but they say they have had rough patches, especially when they had to do long distance while he played professional football in Europe for a few years.
Sarah says he is such an incredible person and she feels so lucky to have Kwame in her life. She is a bit of a Type A personality, but he is so laid back and really helps keep her grounded. They really balance each other out. He is also very close with her family and her parents as they consider him a son already. Sarah and Kwame can’t wait to start their life together.
Currently, Sarah is doing her residency training in General Surgery after graduating from medical school at UWO this past May. She has 5 more years of training until she is done. Kwame completed teacher’s college in Windsor last May and is now supply teaching in London.
They both love sports and it is a huge part of their lives. Kwame was a named to both the Ontario and Canadian All-Star list multiple times during his football career at McMaster. He then went on to play professional football in Italy for two seasons after he graduated. Kwame also coached football at McMaster for 4 years, as well, he continues to coach football at the high school level in London. He still plays basketball and soccer as well. He also runs a bootcamp twice a week in London. Sarah grew up playing sports and was one of two girls and her dad is very into sports and really wanted boys; as a result her sister and Sarah played and watched multiple sports and she continues to play soccer, basketball and baseball on a regular basis. Thus doing their Engagement Shoot at McMaster University in Hamilton just made sense and for the two of them to grab a football and toss it around was just the thing they always like to do!
Congratulations to both of you! LMP is excited for your wedding next June!

When thinking about where they would like to go for their Engagement we always ask couples what they like to do together. It’s more fun that way we find and a better experience.
Well with blueberry season and an amazing patch at Kustermans, and with Alyssa and Kyle’s love of blueberries, it was a great choice.
Alyssa and Kyle met in March of 2010 after a Church In The Box event but she didn’t pay any attention to him. He thought she was cute but they didn’t meet again until September and that iswhen they started talking. They really hit it off after a demo derby in Caledonia that the couple attended with a few friends and on November 5 they started dating.
On the 17th of June, 2011, he asked her to marry her. They were just on the side of the road because she couldn’t wait for her birthday gift.
Congratulations Alyssa and Kyle.
Lee Mann Productions team can’t wait till your wedding next May 2012.

They met through his old roommate and after that brief meeting she would see him at Jim Bob Rays where he worked and she thought how cute the bouncer was! After their random encounters Ben finally tracked Julia down where he treated her to lunch at SUBWAY! This started their love for subway and each other. Some of the things Ben and Julia enjoy doing together throughout their relationship are traveling…in fact they’ve been lucky to go to such destinations as California, Mexico & Jamaica.
Also they both enjoy baseball and have enjoyed a coed tournament together every now and then. The jersey that she wore in the E shoot was Ben’s from when he represented Team Canada in 2000.
Our team had a great time doing Julia and Ben’s engagement shoot and we look forward to their wedding coming up in just a couple of months.
Congratulations Julia and Ben!

Julia here is the Rain Drop Enlarger…;)

The first night she met Tyson she made him pinky swear here that he was going to call her the next day… and he did and they have been together ever since. On June 20th 2011 Tyson and her have been together for 6 years.
Tyson can always get Cas to laugh with all of his impersonations! ie: Hermie being a great one, as Tyson is a dentist.
Their days are filled with Friends, Jays games, cooking, Rollerblading, Going to the movies and out to dinner! But in the evening is when he always asks her, “Did you remember to floss?”
It was a beautiful evening that LMP had with the two of them doing their engagement shoot! Most of the evening was spent trekking through the water, climbing over rocks, and you two were just great!
Congratulations Cas and Tyson and we are looking forward to your wedding October 8, 2011!
