Van Der Lek Photography
Hello and welcome, my name is Marilene. I harness the natural elements of Tasmania to capture professional, heartfelt, and irreplaceable moments for your wedding, elopement, and portraits. Keeping it real, vibey, and relaxed behind and in front of the lens.
A Little About Me
This is how I experience and appreciate life
Since the moment my young, wide eyes discovered cameras, photography has been my passion, obsession, and fascination. This art form has taught me to appreciate all the things around me, from lush Tasmanian rainforests, to friends and family, or a simple daisy that made me smile. From the beginning, I fell in love with the joys photography brings to both myself, and my clients, both visually, sentimentally, and creatively. I’ve been capturing moments for both myself and others across Tasmania for well over 10 years now, but Van Der Lek Photography itself just turned 3. I used to chase sunsets almost every night as a teenager at the beaches in Ulverstone, Tasmania. I yearned to capture and share the breathtaking beauty I witnessed each night. Soon after, I discovered a passion for combining my love of nature with portraits, and the stories they tell in the unreal landscapes that are Tasmania. It’s all about appreciating life’s precious moments, big and small.
Oh, and below you’ll find the face of the business… me !
