The way you laugh together. The places you return to. The personalities, relationships, and atmosphere that make your family what it is.

Everything else follows from that.

Pricing & FAQ

Pricing

Our pricing is flexible and value-based, reflecting the complexity, creativity, and time invested in each project. This approach lets us accommodate everything from straightforward family sessions to intricate productions, ensuring high-quality results without rigid hourly constraints.

Factors such as planning, concept development, location scouting, talent coordination, shooting, editing, and any client-induced delays or revisions influence the final price. We'll always provide a transparent breakdown upfront to avoid surprises.

For Businesses & Organizations

For commercial projects, events, branding campaigns, or organizational needs, we create customized quotes to match your goals and scale. Email a concise brief outlining your objectives, timeline, deliverables, and budget to hello@timecapsuletapes.com, and we'll respond with a personalized quote within 48 hours.

For larger or more in-depth initiatives — multi-day shoots, team collaborations, or integrated storytelling — we recommend an initial meeting to discuss details and refine the scope.

Yes — we ask for a 50% deposit to confirm all bookings. This secures your session date and allows us to begin planning and preparation.

If your project involves additional costs (such as booking venues, sourcing props, or coordinating with stylists or contractors), these expenses must be paid upfront so we can organise everything on your behalf. We'll always discuss these details ahead of time and provide a clear breakdown of any third-party costs.

Some projects may require a progress payment. The remaining balance is due upon delivery of the final edited images, unless otherwise agreed.

Yes. If a second shooter or lighting assistant is required, our hourly rate increases to reflect the added personnel and gear.

We recommend clients organize their own hair and makeup artists to avoid added admin costs.

If you'd prefer us to handle it, we can — but please note this will include a coordination fee to cover time spent sourcing and communicating with stylists.

We do not charge for travel within the Maltese mainland. However, finding parking and commuting to and from the venue can take significant time — we appreciate your understanding if arrival or setup takes longer than expected.

Unlike tradespeople who can serve multiple clients a day, creative professionals must dedicate many hours per project. We plan, prepare, shoot, edit, retouch, communicate, manage files, and handle delivery — often including unpaid behind-the-scenes work.

For coordination and creative ideation we charge €30–€40 per hour, depending on the level of creative input and planning involved.

For high-stakes projects where the material is especially valuable, timing is critical, or there's no room for error, we usually apply an additional fee.

We'll always discuss this openly beforehand so expectations are clear on both sides.

When you hire us, you're investing in our time, preparation, creative direction, photography, and post-production — not just the final set of images. For that reason, payment is required regardless of the outcome.

That said, we genuinely care about delivering meaningful work and positive experiences. If you feel the results don't meet your expectations, we're always open to finding a fair solution.
