How do I book my date?

After we have talked about your wedding and confirmed your date, you are required to pay half of your total to hold your booking and the other half is due two weeks before the wedding. 

How long does it take you to complete my photos?

Art doesn't happen overnight.  We want your pictures to be perfect and we will make sure they are before we send them to you.  Typically, an engagement session will take 3-6 weeks and you can expect a wedding to take up to 14 weeks (depending on the season).  As soon as we are done, we mail off a beautiful box of happiness to your front door and later you will be emailed your digital link to your proofing gallery.  Trust us, we're just as excited to share them with you as you are to see them!

Do I get a flash drive with all the photos?

Yes!  You will receive all of your edited photos.  We still own the copyright so you are not permitted to edit or change the photos in ANY way.  Especially not with Instagram filters!

Can I share my photos on Facebook once I get them?

Of course!  You can share your photos on any form of social media.  The only thing we ask is that you give us credit for our work.  Simply caption every photo with “www.madetobemine.co" or tag us!

How many photos do I end up with?

It can vary, but with our one hour photo session, no less than 70 photos.  Your wedding will typically be no less than 700 photos.

Where do we do our photoshoot?

Wherever you are!  we never shoot studio work, we shoot outdoors or anywhere with NATURAL light.  We also love doing sessions in your home!

Do you offer albums?

Yes!  We can custom design a simple, gorgeous, organic album just for you!  It'll be the best thing in your living room, we promise. 

Do you guys do video?

WE DO! We now offer hand-held docu style videos as an add-on for your wedding day. This is not a full videography service with mics and major equipment, but a simplistic collection of clips set to music to add to the experience of re-living your day.

Do you take LGBTQ+ weddings?

HELL YES! Love is everything and we’ll take it in any and all forms!

Where are you located?

We are based out of Central Illinois, but remember, we do NOT charge extra for travel for weddings + elopements! If you are interested in a portrait session, there’s a chance we could shoot it without fees also if we are already traveling to your area, etc.
