McKinley Memorial Summer Engagement

Some photo sessions just have a special kind of magic, and Mariah and Hank’s was exactly that. Set against the stunning architecture of the McKinley Library and Monument in Canton, Ohio, this session was filled with warmth, laughter, and the kind of effortless love that makes photography so rewarding.

Mariah, in a classic white dress and vibrant red heels, looked like she stepped straight out of a Marilyn Monroe-inspired dream. The way the golden light wrapped around her and Hank made every moment feel cinematic. Their playful, easygoing energy turned each pose into a natural, joy-filled moment. From sweet, stolen kisses against the monument’s stone walls to hand-in-hand strolls through the lush green grounds, they made this session their own.

It’s always a joy to capture couples who not only love each other but genuinely have fun together. Mariah and Hank’s laughter was contagious, and their kindness made the entire experience feel less like a session and more like an evening spent with friends.
