Fall Neighborhood Engagement Featuring Pups and Local Beer – Mackensey & Anna

Last month I had a blast with Mackensey and Anna for their fall neighborhood engagement session! I met these two at their home in Uptown for photos with Tubbs and June Bug, the most adorable pugs you will ever see. We hung out inside their home and then went for a quick walk around the block… with no shortage of puppy treats, of course! The pups seem just as inseparable and Mackensey and Anna, who are clearly as smitten with June Bug and Tubbs 🙂

After family photo time, we headed to local bar Fat Cat for a beer. This has become one of their favorite neighborhood spots over the years, and I’m so happy we were able to stop here! I always encourage couples to pick locations that are personal to them for engagement photos, and this couldn’t have worked out more perfectly.

When the sun began to set, we headed south to Lincoln Park. This is another location personal to Anna and Mackensey… and just so happens to be one of the most picturesque locations in the city! They told me about Mackensey’s proposal in Michigan, their first memories in Chicago together, and their wedding plans for next September. I couldn’t be happier for these two, and am thrilled that they asked me to help commemorate this season of their love.

Mackensey and Anna: Thank you again for having me!! Your wedding day is going to be so beautiful, I wish you nothing but happiness in your future together.
