Contact Margaret Aulejtner

Hi, I’m Margaret — a wedding and portrait photographer based in Costa Rica, with a heart for storytelling and a love for natural, emotional moments. I specialize in destination weddings, elopements, and intimate celebrations, always focusing on capturing not just how your day looks, but how it truly feels. My style blends candid documentary with a touch of artistry, so your photos feel timeless yet personal. 
I believe every couple deserves to feel comfortable, celebrated, and fully themselves in front of the camera. That’s why I create a relaxed atmosphere where you can forget the lens and simply enjoy your day — and I’ll be there to capture every laugh, tear, and little detail. 
When I’m not photographing weddings, I also create boudoir and empowerment sessions, as well as retreats for women, which bring depth and inspiration to my work. With me, you’ll not only have beautiful photographs but also an experience that feels easy, joyful, and unforgettable.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I am based in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Yes, I do charge travel fees for weddings outside my home base, but they are always customized and kept as fair as possible, depending on distance and logistics. For nearby areas in Guanacaste, travel is often included. For international weddings, I’m happy to create a personalized travel package.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I’ve been photographing professionally for over 10 years, working across Costa Rica and Europe.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

My style is a blend of documentary and artistic storytelling. I focus on capturing raw emotions, candid in-between moments, and the natural beauty of each setting. I combine this with a creative, editorial touch so every image feels timeless yet modern. Above all, I want couples to look back and not just see how their wedding day looked, but truly feel how it felt.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

My most popular package includes 4–6 hours of wedding coverage and comes with a private online gallery available for one year. Drone footage is always included whenever conditions allow. 
I also offer smaller collections for elopements and intimate celebrations, as well as extended packages for larger weddings. 
Couples can personalize their experience with fine-art prints in a handcrafted wooden box, a wedding album, or a hybrid photo + video upgrade, where I capture both photos and cinematic highlight moments throughout the day. 
For something truly special, I also offer a boudoir empowerment experience — either just for her (a beautiful self-love session or wedding-day gift for him) or a couple’s session after the wedding, celebrating intimacy and connection — possibly in a sensual, artistic style.

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

yes, we can meet on Zoom, and in person while you and In Costa Rica

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

I hold a degree in Photography and Media Arts, and I’ve been working professionally for over 10 years. I am a member of several international photography communities and continuously invest in education to refine my craft. Recently, I have attended workshops and masterclasses in wedding and boudoir photography, storytelling, and editing, as well as courses focused on drone photography and hybrid photo-video techniques. Ongoing learning is an essential part of my work so I can always bring the highest level of creativity and professionalism to my couples

Is there anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

Photography for me is more than a job — it’s a way of connecting with people and telling their unique stories. I believe in creating a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere where couples can truly be themselves, which allows me to capture genuine, emotional moments. I’m also a traveler at heart, splitting my time between Costa Rica and Europe, and I love weaving the beauty of nature and authentic locations into my work. Beyond weddings, I also create intimate boudoir sessions and women’s empowerment retreats, which inspire my storytelling approach.
