Cooper's Cove at Heritage Park Wedding - Megan + Cody

If rain is a sign of good luck on a wedding day, then this couple is the luckiest we know! Megan and Cody’s wedding at Cooper’s Cove at Heritage Park may have started with rain and ended with rain as well, but their day was such a memorable one for so many reasons. The most striking aspect for us was their attitudes about it all. Throughout the day, we didn’t hear one complaint or see one tear shed other than those of true happiness. We were so impressed with how Megan and Cody took everything in stride and stayed focused on what really mattered—their union.

We utilized the cabin for many of the photos throughout the day, mixing things up with the cool wall of lockers for some shots of the groom and placing a couch on the covered porch for Megan’s stunning bridals (seriously, our fave). Their first look was full of raw emotion, and we can't even explain how we felt when watching Cody's sweet reaction to seeing his bride for the first time. An oh so brief break in the clouds gave us about 15 minutes to capture the moments under the gorgeous archway on the path leading to the reception site as well as the memories of the two strolling together hand in hand.

Heartfelt speeches from Megan’s sister and Cody’s best friend set the party off right, and we loved that all the guests were out on the dance floor. Although plans were changed from the anticipated outdoor ceremony site to the barn for both the exchange of vows and reception, this wedding was filled with nothing but joy and celebration. We so loved spending the day with these two and their amazing bridal party as well as getting to know their families. We hold a special place in our hearts for this awesome couple, and we hope you feel the love from Megan and Cody's fall wedding today.

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.
