The Photographer
Dan Childs
I was born in the land of didgeridoos and koala’s but have lived here in Queenstown, New Zealand since 2005. Where I have brought up 2 free range children with my lovely wife. I am a keen Bee keeper and also like hooning around the local trials on my e-bike.
I’m an easy going photographer, and enjoy a good laugh, I like to let things unfold naturally in a relaxed way. I’ll give you space to relax, breathe and let your guard down. It’s how those beautiful candid moments we all love can shine through.
I put my heart and soul into my work, and love incorporating the magically Queenstown scenery. The result is creative and clean wedding photography that’s romantic, fun, and emotional. My approach starts long before the wedding and I work with you on the timeline. It’s important to me that each couple is able to fully enjoy their wedding day. The more we talk through your details and the desires, the more I am able to capture the magic of your wedding, and to create little pieces of art for you to cherish and that last generations.
Here in Queenstown, I’m surrounded by pretty much the best backdrop a photographer could wish for. This scenery seems to amplify life and moments of love. I know Queenstown like the back of my hand, there aren’t many places I haven’t walked, hiked, biked, or helicoptered in the area. So I know all the great places for photoshoots for every season, and every weather condition. I have photographed weddings in pretty much every location here in Queenstown, and most of the surrounding areas. Which means I have got to know the best areas for location shoots, and where the ideal spots are at different venues. Saving time and stress on the day.

The Office Manager
Tamsin Browne
The Office Superstar for Dan Childs. My job is basically whipping him into gear, and giving him more time to do what he’s passionate about, the photography!
Making sure Dan is concentrating on creating master pieces of the images he has taken of you.
I work from the Studio at the Hilton which is a stunning location to spend my day. My favourite part of my job is going through all your amazing photos, seeing all the love and laughter and special close moments that we capture, it brightens my day.
Born & Raised in England and fell in love with Queenstown 10 years ago. I spend most of my free time being active, so QT suits me to a T! You might spot me swimming in the Wakatipu or running along the many beautiful trails here as I train for Ironman triathlons.
I have known Dan pretty much since the beginning of being here, he’s easy going, relaxed and super nice!
