Marblegate Farm Engagement Smoky Mountain Event Venue‎ - Ashton + PJ

Playful and endearing are the words we would use to describe Ashton and PJ’s Marblegate Farm engagement. A waterfront venue featuring a farm setting, this location is simply breathtaking.  The marble is part of the history of this venue, being left where it fell years ago and now comprising the pillars at the entrance as well as the shoreline. Perfectly manicured landscapes and elegant finishes characterize this one of a kind space just outside of Knoxville in surrounding Friendsville.

Despite being long distance for their relationship as PJ teaches in Ecuador, this sweet couple has made it work. You may also recognize Ashton from our bohemian bridal in Cade’s Cove a few years ago, as this is how we came to know her. These two are just simply stylish with natural beauty and an inherent calm that just makes you feel comfortable around them. In this charming setting that will also be the site for their ceremony and reception, we captured what we feel is the essence of Ashton and PJ—a palpable feeling of love. 

Enjoy this beautiful couple and amazing venue featured on the blog 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.
