A couple together in the forest at Fernwood Hills near London, Ontario

Lee Mann · Photographer

Photographs that feel like your life.

Story-driven photography for couples, private portraits, intimate weddings, and thoughtful brands near London, Ontario.

Real over perfect

Good photographs don't need a performance.

You do not need to know how to pose or arrive with a complicated plan. I create room for people to settle in, pay attention to the small things, and make photographs that still feel true years later.

Kind words

The part clients remember.

“We were nervous going in. Ten minutes with Lee and we completely forgot the camera was there. The photos look exactly like us.”

The forest setting at Fernwood Hills near London, Ontario

Home base

Forty acres gives us room to wander.

Fernwood Hills is a private forest setting a short drive from London, Ontario, with trails, water, cabins, an original 1960s farmhouse, and a natural-light studio. Most sessions begin here, but I travel across Southern Ontario when the story belongs somewhere else.

Registered Fernwood overnight guests receive a private guest rate through their guest portal.

The process

Simple from the beginning.

Tell me the plan

Choose the kind of session, share any dates you have, and tell me what matters to you.

Reserve the date

If the fit and date work, I send a short agreement and retainer link. No complicated sales call.

Come as you are

I guide the session without over-directing it, then deliver a private gallery of finished photographs.

Available dates

Let's make something worth keeping.

Tell me who or what you're photographing and roughly when you're hoping to do it. I'll reply personally with availability.
