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!

The moment was beautiful. She was gorgeous and he looked stunning as the two of them met together for the “First Look” before heading to the ceremony at Spencer Hall, London Ontario.
Kiersten and Michael are such a sweet couple. A long distance relationship is always tough and Kiersten and Michael started dating about a month before he was deployed overseas, so almost the first year of their relationship was long distance. It shows something about their love for each other and their total commitment.
What an awesome celebration on June 12/11 as the two joined in marriage! Congratulations Kiersten and Michael.

Friday, March 18,2011 was an incredible evening at Centennial Hall, London Ontario where the OHM Fashion Show was held. OHM is a unique fashion event featuring some of the most spectacular student designs from across Ontario and highly choreographed dance sequences. Each year OHM donates the net proceeds raised through the fashion show to the Canadian Cancer Society to support the fight against cancer!
The show was a huge success and was sold out and LMP Productions was proud to be involved again this year.

It all started when he was her football coach and now about 8 years later he is her best friend and the love of her life and on Saturday, February 26th they were full of smiles as they exchanged vows at Colbourne Street United Church, London, Ontario.

Most couples would rather choose spring, summer, or fall to get married but for Meagan and Chris they wanted a winter wedding! In fact they really wanted an outside winter wedding, but the spot just didn’t work out for the outside part but they did have a gorgeous winter February day, with the reception held at Centennial Hall, London, Ontario. Actually it started out not too cold and a little snowy, but by the end of the afternoon the wedding party would tell you it was quite cold, not just a little; but they were so fun to work with and our team loved every minute doing their cinematography and photos as well.
As you will agree, Meagan took Chris’ breath away as she came down the aisle toward him. He felt so lucky…she was beautiful inside and out and for Meagan she couldn’t wait to be his wife!

What a lot of fun we had for all parts of the day but it was cool that just before the ceremony, in fact about 30 minutes before, the guys threw on their skates at Victoria Park, London, Ontario and played some hockey…..in their tuxes!

Meagan and Chris, you are a wonderful couple, just meant to be and LMP wishes you congratulations! Our team had a blast and doesn’t want it to be over….we can’t wait to do an AfterShoot with you!

On January 29/11 The University Students’ Council Held their Charity Ball 2011 – Western’s Sweet Dream In Support of The Boys & Girls Club of London! Several thousand students and guests attended the beautiful event at the Convention Centre, London, Ontario. Our LMP team was happy to participate this year again and be involved in this wonderful fundraising event!

Many years from now, most of us in London, Ontario and area will remember the “December 2010 Snow Storm.”
Whether you are sore from shoveling, or loved having the days off of school, or work you will remember that it just seemed to never stop.
We had several excursions out on the road that we had to take and it was quite scary as we couldn’t see in front of us and the amount of snow was pulling our vehicle off the road.

What a relief this morning to see blue skies and just tiny snowflakes coming down instead of the huge amount of snowflakes that we’ve seen over the past 2 days!
But, wait…I just looked out our office window as I’m writing this and I can’t believe what I see….the white stuff is coming down thick again…is it ever going to end?

She couldn’t wait to get into her dress. While the girls were getting ready at Stephanie and Luke’s house that they bought just a short time ago, Luke and the guys were just counting the minutes till Luke and Stephanie would see each other! As Stephanie, so beautiful in her gorgeous gown, entered the aisle at North Park Community Church, you could just feel the excitement in the air! Luke was so ready for this moment, and this day when their family and friends would celebrate with them, and they would exchange their vows! Such a fun wedding party…when you get a bunch of brothers together it just spells FUN and the reception at the Delta Armouries, London Ontario hardly had a quiet moment! Laughter echoed through the hotel!

Stephanie and Luke you were beautiful, your weather was gorgeous, your love for each other was so evident! We wish you years and years and bushels and bushels of continuous joy together! Congratulations from our LMP team!

One of the favorite things that Lee Mann Productions Photography and Cinema team loves is to meet with couples and sit and talk with them about how they met and what attracted them to each other and hear about their engagement.  We love the way they interact as they share their story.  Our LMP team loves that we can be involved in this type of work where no two stories are the same, no two couples are the same, and no two personalities are exactly the same.  We have found that the guys have the engagement often planned for awhile and yet they want the ultimate moment to ask her.  We love the connection that we feel after we have met with the couples and then can’t wait to see them again at their Engagement Shoot.

Laura and Mike, are one of those couples that just absolutely love to be together and specifically love laughing and having a great time together.  They want to be themselves letting both their personalities come through in their photos.  So our Lee Mann Productions team met Laura and Mike at Western where they have both spend a great deal of time.  They brought their red sled for a great time on the hill, but unfortunately even though the snow wasn’t great for sledding, it was great for throwing at each other and having fun in.  After a couple other stops for the evening, we all warmed up while Laura and Mike enjoyed some time connecting while sipping on a milk shake.

Michael Pace and Laura Downs are set to wed in April 2012. Mike was born in Guelph, Ontario while Laura grew up in Mississauga, Ontario. Laura’s family moved to Kincardine, Ontario in 2004. Laura and Mike met in their first year at the University of Western Ontario in 2004. They found love amongst the craziness of Saugeen Maitland Hall, also nicknamed “the Zoo.” They met briefly at the “frosh” football game and then didn’t meet again until April 2005 at a Hawaiian Party.  Almost 5 years later, they are engaged and planning their wedding.

The engagement took place on July 27, 2009 on a trip through Europe. At their first destination, Paris, France, Mike proposed to Laura underneath the Eiffel Tower. They spent the rest of their “engagement honeymoon” traveling through Southern France and Italy.

They are planning to have their reception in Southwestern Ontario. For their ceremony, they are researching exotic and adventurous destination ideas. The couple loves traveling and plan to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa in the next few years. They also love cooking, volunteering with animals at the Humane Society, camping, watching movies and playing music. They were both enthusiastic members of the Western Mustang Marching Band at Western.

Mike is currently completing his Master’s in Neuroscience at Western and hopes to get into medical school. Laura recently completed her Master’s in Journalism and is now a freelance writer and editor. LMP wants to say that our team had an absolutely wonderful evening with you doing your engagement photography and we want to say best wishes and congratulations from our team to both of you!

On Friday March 19,2010 our Lee Mann Productions team had the wonderful opportunity to be involved in the OHM Fashion Show, Rock Your Vogue, at Centennial Hall, London Ontario.

OHM is a unique fashion event featuring some of the most spectacular student designs from across Ontario and highly choreographed dance sequences. Each year OHM donates the net proceeds raised through the fashion show to the Canadian Cancer Society to support the fight against cancer!

This was the eighth venture that the student-run organization has produced. Everyone enjoyed the amazing original designs from at least ten different fashion designers as well as there were over seventy dancers that performed. What a great show and Lee Mann Productions want to thank OHM for the opportunity to share in this venture with you.

Every year, students enjoy a glamorous night at University of Western Ontario Charity Ball organized by University Students’ Council – University of Western Ontario

Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010 at the London Convention Centre 300 York Street, London Ontario,   the USC started the day with a brunch that was held with guest speakers. The event takes place annually with the proceeds going to a different charity each year.

This year, the Ball benefits went to the George Bray Sports Association,  http://www.georgebrayhockey.ca an ice hockey program that offers children and adults with learning challenges to play in ice hockey leagues.
While the GBSA tries to keep costs to parents down, their operating costs are quite large. Their ice rental costs alone are over $40 000 per year. All proceeds this year will be donated to George Bray Sports Association Inc.

In 1968, Mr. George Bray organized a hockey program for young people with special learning needs. The George Bray Sports Association Inc. then started to provide a program for those in special learning classes in elementary or secondary schools. These youngsters may otherwise not have played hockey for any other organization. The league stresses fun over competition and provides each player with equal ice time, regardless of ability. Most of the participants have never played hockey before this program and have found it to be a great benefit in developing their confidence and sense of participation.  The league is a parent participating non-profit organization. The coaches, junior referees, timekeepers and the executive are all volunteers who freely give many hours to this organization.

Lee Mann Photography has the privilege of donating our time and being involved with this event for the past three years.  This year was another wonderful success as over 1500 students attended the dance and enjoyed having their photos taken as our Team captured the event with a studio set-up as well as candid coverage.  Lee Mann Photography was grateful for the opportunity to serve the community and this charity once again in 2010.
