Volunteer Princess Cruises Wedding - Danielle & Justin

You may remember Danielle and Justin's playful engagement session at UT Botanical Gardens and Market Square featured on our blog, but today, we are so excited to share their beautifully unique wedding aboard the Volunteer Princess. 

The couple shared a first look at Volunteer Landing before we snapped some shots with their best man and matron of honor, Danielle's sister and a fellow photographer, just above the river. We loved the bride's ivory Maggie Sottero dress featuring an always elegant lace top and a satin slip gown underneath. Pops of color with the deep purple dress and the guys' turquoise ties blended perfectly in the floral arrangements as well. Seriously, do you see that bouquet? Simply stunning!

The ceremony took place on the top level of the Volunteer Princess as we floated along the Tennessee River, and the two shared their first kiss under a beautiful arch adorned with bright purple flowers. Volunteer Princess Cruises serve as a perfect venue for intimate weddings, and the coordinators, captain, and crew provide amazing service. 

Our favorite moment of the evening came when Danielle and Justin shared their first dance that they had been preparing for together in classes. These two glided across the dance floor, and impressed their guests (and us) with their moves!  We also loved their sparkler exit back near the dock as they rode off, cuddled together, on a golf cart. 

We wish nothing but joy to this perfect, fun-loving couple, and we hope you love these images of their special day!

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.
