Beautiful photographer for your perfect day
Margaret did an amazing job with our wedding photos. Our original photographer fell through 2 days before our wedding and she stepped in no questions asked. She took the prettiest wedding photos I've ever seen and we will cherish them forever. She was very friendly and easy to work with. She also offered many different flexible packages that made it really easy for us. Margaret shot our ceremony, a couple's session on the beach at sunset and the reception for us all in one afternoon. I would definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone in the area.

A Fantastic Experience with an Exceptional Photographer
We hired Margaret for our wedding in Costa Rica and couldn’t be happier with the results. The photos are stunning, and we’ll treasure them for years to come.Margaret was a joy to work with -talented, warm, and attentive to our preferences. She blended seamlessly into the day, capturing beautiful candid moments while letting us fully enjoy ourselves.Her artistic eye truly stood out in our couple photos. From the sunset beach light to the dramatic rain clouds, she used the natural elements masterfully. The final images are epic, emotional, and absolutely breathtaking.

Working with Margaret was truly an unforgettable experience. She is an incredible photographer with a unique and powerful eye—like no one else.Everything flowed so naturally during our session. It honestly turned out to be the most beautiful and productive photoshoot I’ve ever had, and that’s saying a lot considering I’ve worked as a model before.What stood out the most was how effortlessly she guided me through the poses, making me feel comfortable and confident at every moment. Thank you so much! Hope to meet you again soon.
Working together was truly a great experience. Even though it was a group workshop, I felt very comfortable with each of you. During the session, I felt relaxed and knew I was in good hands. I also really appreciated being able to express my own ideas and share what I wanted from the session. And honestly, the best proof of how happy I am is how much I love the photos — they’re absolutely beautiful! Thank you again.

You’ve created an experience with intention.
The setting, the people, the conversations, the quiet moments in between - together they create something that is difficult to explain in words.
My role is to capture that feeling.
Through photography, cinematic video and aerial drone footage, I document your retreat as it naturally unfolds - giving you a complete visual story you can share long after your guests have gone home.
You’re creating something meaningful and want your visuals to feel just as intentional.
You want content that captures the experience, not simply posed photographs.
You value natural moments, real connection and storytelling over constant direction.
You need a library of professional content to promote your next retreat, strengthen your brand and share what being there actually feels like.
And most importantly, you want someone who can quietly become part of the experience - without changing its energy.
Perfect for:
• Wellness & yoga retreats
• Women’s retreats
• Coaching & leadership retreats
• Creative retreats
• Surf & adventure retreats
• Luxury retreats
• Boutique hotels & retreat venues
• Transformational experiences
I’m Margaret - photographer, filmmaker, mother and visual storyteller based in Costa Rica.
I’m drawn to experiences built around connection, movement, nature and transformation.
Retreats bring all of those things together.
Rather than arriving with a long shot list and constantly directing what happens, I observe.
I follow the rhythm of the experience, anticipate meaningful moments and step in with gentle guidance when it’s useful.
The result is a visual story that feels polished without feeling staged -and genuinely reflects what it was like to be there.
