About Forever October

Bailey

Woman + LGBTQ+ Owned Business

To put it plainly, photography brings me joy. Being able to capture a couple's wedding day through photos is something I view as sacred, important, and deserving of my deep attention. Photos are our only souvenir, so to truly tell a love story through photos requires effort, understanding, attention, and genuine interest. When I'm working a wedding, I'm not simply pointing my camera and clicking a button. I am focusing on every detail, moment (big and small), gesture, tear, expression, sequin, and shine. For that reason, I love to work with couples whose wedding vision I can connect to and who allow me to help them see it through.

When the entire world will be telling you what to do and not do on your wedding day, I'll be encouraging you to do what YOU want to do. Wedding days don't need to be cookie-cutter experiences, where everything feels like deja vu. Your photos don't need to be boxed into a category or lack candid and creative moments. What sets my work apart is that I want to capture your day uniquely and in a way that represents your love. I don't and will never work strictly from generalized photo-lists. I LOVE and want to work with clients who respect the art of photography, who want intimate, emotional, moody, joyful, Pinterest-worthy wedding photos.

    Wedding Day Beauty

    From our first conversation with Forever October, we knew we had found our photographer. Bailey and her second shooter were responsive and thoughtful throughout the entire planning process, making sure we felt heard at every step. On our wedding day, they moved through each moment with such grace, capturing not just what happened but the genuine joy and emotion we felt. Their eye for detail shines through in every frame—from the small touches we almost missed to the big celebrations we'll treasure forever. We're especially grateful for how encouraging and inspiring they were behind the lens, helping us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. The engagement photos and wedding day gallery exceeded what we imagined, and we couldn't have asked for a better team to document our special day.

    Amazing - Would Absolutely Recommend

    Bailey was absolutely amazing. Her communication is efficient and timely. She showed up early and went above and beyond to curate special moments for Jessica and Trey. The photos have been flawless, and truly show the love of the couple. Thank you!!

    100/10 Recommend Forever October

    Forever October was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very start, Bailey was a great communicator and when we first met for our engagement shoot, she put my husband and I completely at ease despite our nerves. She was incredibly supportive, helping me with my dress and veil when I needed an extra hand, and efficiently managing our time when the wedding timeline (inevitably, lol) got a bit behind. The end results were amazing, and we’re overjoyed with the beautiful photos that perfectly captured our perfect day. Bailey was such a delight to work with, and we highly recommend Forever October to anyone looking for talented, professional, and genuinely kind wedding photographers.

    The highest recommendation

    Forever October was the perfect wedding photography team for our special day. From our first interaction, their communication was timely, thorough, and genuinely excited to work with us. On the day of, Bailey took care of multiple aspects beyond just the photography - she helped plan our micro wedding, did our florals, baked a gluten free cake, and truly created art with the photos she captured. The quality of their work was phenomenal, with an incredible attention to detail that truly showcased the uniqueness and beauty of our love. We could not have asked for a better photography experience and are over the moon with the final photos. Forever October exceeded all of our expectations and we highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

    INCREDIBLE 3

    My wife and I had to find a new photographer at the last minute for our wedding due to unforeseen circumstances, and we are incredibly thankful we found Forever October! Bailey made us both feel so beautiful and confident on our big day. She was personable, kind, and added such a fun energy to our day! She’s also extremely responsive. I would recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a photographer who not only takes beautiful photos, but also makes their subjects feel equally as beautiful!

In short, yes! Because I care deeply about my clients being happy with the services they receive, I want to make sure that my clients are a great match for me and that I'm the best match for them! I don't say YES to all potential clients who reach out, because my goal isn't just to photo-document your wedding, but to take pictures that you LOVE of your biggest moments. For that reason, I do phone or video call consultations with all of my potential clients!
Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame. If your wedding date is soon-approaching, contacting me sooner rather than later is your best bet in order to hold your wedding date! As a courtesy, I place a hold on my calendar for your wedding date for 5 days following our initial consultation.
Yes! In order to formally book your wedding date, I require a 50% deposit. Client's are welcome to pay in full & receive a discount, but it is not required & is not asked of you.
Absolutely. I want to protect myself and YOU. As such, all clients are required to read & e-sign a legally binding contract. Once signed, the client will receive a copy for their records. The contract addresses topics such as the details of the services being purchased, non-payment, refund issuance, cancellations & rescheduling, venue changes, photographer replacement in the event of sickness/injury/scheduling conflict, media release, and artistic release.
Definitely. All final images will be edited! It is not in my business practice to ever submit an unedited gallery to a client.
Sometimes, depending on the size of your wedding, the duration of time on site, I will bring an assistant or additional photographer. Details like the addition and cost of a second shooter will be discussed with and offered to all clients who I believe may benefit from having another photographer present.
I offer 24-hour sneak peak image(s) to ALL of my clients. My turnaround time for the full gallery varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 6-10 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can expect to receive a digital link with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints. *Based on your wedding date, each client's contract will outline a specific timeframe. During peak wedding season, a wedding gallery will likely have a longer turn-around time.
YES! While most of my focus is on photography, I do offer add-on video services. You can ask about these services during our consultation!
You can expect about 40 to 75 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and many other factors.
In my years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or a contracted assistant. I will never leave a client without finding the perfect, and contracted replacement. In the rare event that I'm unable to perform services on your wedding date, my assistant or contracted photographer will be required to give all images to me & I will edit all images, and provide you with your wedding gallery.
I want to be accessible and affordable to ALL clients. For this reason, payment plans are available to all clients. I currently accept payment through: Zelle, Verified Business Venmo, Apple Pay, and Square secured invoicing system where you can opt to pay via credit or debit card. As of 5/1/2023, I am approved and authorized to offer AfterPay as a payment option for clients who would like to pay on their own timeline.
DUH! I'm a very PROUD woman-owned, LGBTQ+-owned business! I celebrate LOVE that comes in all forms. I want all of my same-sex/non-traditional couples to know that I'm not a vendor that "tolerates" or "allows" doing business with you, but that I am an ally, supporter, and member of your community. When you hire me as your photographer, you can feel safe in knowing that I genuinely believe in your love story & want to see it captured with the same energy that is given to "traditional" couples.
Don't let the "Peak" Pricing turn you away from requesting a consultation! The Peak Price is not the cost of the package, it is the highest amount that someone has ever/would ever pay for that particular package. Most often, the "Peak" pricing is LESS than the listed price, but based on the couples needs, special requests, or travel cost, the total may be as much as the total price listed as "Peak Pricing".
