Windriver at Tellico Lake Luminous Engagement - Kristi + Jeff

Personalized engagements are always so amazing. We really encourage our couples to 1) have their engagement photos taken at a location significant to them/their relationship 2) make the session all about their interests. Kristi and Jeff did just that with their engagement at WindRiver, a beautiful lakefront community and marina in Lenoir City Tennessee. From our initial correspondence, these two stressed their love for spending time at the lake, and they also prioritized having their adorable pup, Roxy, involved in the photos.

Nothing screams romance quite like a picnic with a glimmering lake in the background, so we loved that Kristi brought along a picture-perfect picnic basket and some wine for a little toasting. This is such a easy way for a couple to take their engagement session to the next level as well with some amazing details. After a little stroll in the park, we took these two to a hill with an overgrown field for some sunshine filled photos complete with a little dancing and all the authentic laughter. Finally, we were invited on the couple’s boat to really capture what they are all about—a little adventure on Tellico Lake. These were some of our favorite shots as we could really see that the two were in their element, and who doesn’t love a little golden hour light glistening on the water?

This couple just makes us smile, and we are wishing for warm days to return soon with this sunny WindRiver engagement. Enjoy!

Jason Messing

Who are we? We are Jason and Staci Messing, a husband and wife photography team based in Knoxville, Tennessee. We met in 2007, starting dating in 2008, and have been together ever since. We were married at the Capitol Theatre in Maryville in 2012, and our special day actually led to our interest in photography and inspired us to pursue our dream of owning our own business.  (See our wedding story here!)  Our family team grew when we had our sweet son, Jaden, in 2014, and he's already reviewing our photos for us.

What's our style? The adjectives we always used to describe our photography style are light, airy, natural and whimsical. We would say our job is to capture all the amazing moments of your big day so that you have a tangible memory of the people, details, and surroundings that make your wedding special. We essentially want your day to look like a fairy tale, and it's all about making even the ordinary exceptional by photographing meaningful and candid moments.

What about the name? Jason's business actually started as one centered around music production and video editing.  Juicebeats, his nickname as a producer and rapper, inspired our company name, originally Juicebeats Productions. In 2013, the business evolved into one focused on a new creative outlet, photography, and it was only natural that Staci jumped on board in late 2014 as the 2nd shooter/photographer assistant. We debated a name change (for 12 seconds) until we realized that Juicebeats is unique, memorable, and just us.
