Roc Brewing Co Engagement Photo Couple standing by sign Rochester NY Mary DoughertyRoc Brewing Co was common ground for Hayley and Josh. There is something about traveling and falling in love. They lend themselves to each other and draw you deeper. Hayley and Josh have made travel a part of their relationship, jetting off to exotic places to experience new food, culture and people. It’s fitting for a couple who grew up on different continents.

Hayley studied abroad at Oxford and started a career in London after graduating. It was there that she met Josh, a bibliophile who worked in journalism and swept her off her American feet. Their relationship developed over craft beer and books. Together they planned adventures and eventually a life together.

They made a recent trip back to the states to check in on wedding planning and I had the privilege of spending an evening with them capturing pictures and getting to know them even more. We started at Roc Brewing Co where we were warmly greeted and even given the opportunity to shoot with the Thunderbird you see above! I loved the light in their space and am so grateful for their hospitality! The second half of our shoot took place at Highland Park, where the trees were perfectly bloomed and petals cascaded around us. We combined their loves and created craft beer and tulle skirt engagement pictures perfectly fitting for this wonderful couple. Take a look at my favorites and I hope you enjoy!rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty06rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty07rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty08rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty09rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty10rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty11rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty12rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty13rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty14rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty15rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty16rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty17rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty18rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty19rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty20rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty21rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty22

Doesn’t Highland Park’s conservatory look beautiful? I loved how in bloom everything was on this day. rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty26rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty27rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty28rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty29rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty31rochester_brewery_highland_park_engagement_photo_mary_dougherty32

A classic Cape Cod wedding never goes out of style, especially at the Kittansett Club.

A Chautauqua wedding is stunning no matter the size. Karen and Walker pivoted to host the most amazing micro wedding at this historic American retreat.
