Bavaria Downs Wedding | The Spiveys

Weddings

January 17, 2025

Gillian and Jake’s Bavaria Downs wedding at Edward Anne Estate is one of my favorites of the year! Not only were these two such a fun, down-to-earth couple, but they had the most stunning day! The sun shone all day for these two lovebirds, and let me tell you – they are so deserving of it!

Jake and Gillian’s wedding planning journey is perhaps a bit unconventional. They have been married for a few years now, because Gillian is from Canada and wanted to tie the knot due to attending medical school in the States. She and Jake had been dating for about a year, and they both knew they were meant to be. However, they still wanted their fairytale wedding day and knew it was worth the wait. They celebrated their marriage officially on August 31, 2024.

The other unconventional piece of their wedding planning journey is that I was not their original photographer! Gillian and Jake only hired me a few months before their big day. They had another photographer lined up, but decided they wanted to go with a different style for their wedding day and made the decision to change. I am so glad they did! It was truly such a pleasure to photograph this day and

One of my favorite parts of this wedding day was the palpable excitement from every single guest. You could just tell how loved and supported Gillian and Jake are as individuals and as a couple. I’m sure it goes hand-in-hand with just how fun these two are. These are the absolute best kinds of weddings, where every guest is just genuinely excited for the couple!

I really struggled to narrow down favorites from this beautiful day. From the perfect weather and lighting, to the genuine joy, there was just so much to capture and love! Here are some of my favorites from this August Bavaria Downs wedding.
