Good Friday had me back on the sidelines at Hinuera 📸 — this time capturing the Hinuera A’s vs Te Rapa.

This one was a dream to shoot. Clean light, fast pace, and action unfolding from every angle. I was constantly on the move, chasing the play, adjusting angles, and locking in those sharp, split-second moments — from heavy contact to quick hands and line breaks.

It wasn’t just the big hits either — it was the details. The focus in the eyes, the communication between players, the build-up before impact. Those are the frames that bring the story to life.

A game full of energy and intensity, and a reminder of why I love being behind the lens — capturing real moments, exactly as they happen 🏉📸

Good Friday through the lens 📸 — back out at Hinuera for the Hinuera B’s vs Te Rapa.

One of those days where the light hit just right and the game did the rest. Action shots from every angle — bodies in motion, raw expressions, and moments you don’t get twice. From heavy contact to quick breaks, it was all there to capture.

I found myself chasing those in-between moments too — the quiet focus before a scrum, the connection between teammates, the split-second decisions that don’t always make the scoreboard but make the game.

Back on the sidelines at Hinuera last Saturday, this time capturing the Hinuera Bs going head-to-head with Frankton. 📸🏉

Another hot one out there — tough conditions, but both sides dug deep and brought the intensity from the first whistle to the last.

Solid carries, big tackles, and relentless effort across the park — the kind of game that keeps you locked in behind the lens.

And of course, nothing beats wrapping it up with a cold bevy after a hard day on the field.

Out at Hinuera last Saturday, capturing the next wave of talent as the Hinuera U21 Colts went head-to-head with Morrinsville. 📸🏉

Hot conditions out there, but nothing a cold bevy couldn’t fix after an intense, hard-fought game.

Fast-paced footy, big hits, and plenty of heart on display — these young guns brought the energy from kickoff to final whistle.

Nothing better than being on the sideline freezing those raw, gritty moments that tell the story of the game.

Saturday 21st | Under the lights

Followed the Hinny Honeys in a hard-fought clash against Morrinsville Women’s.
Final score 10–5 to Morrinsville, with plenty of grit on the field — both teams worked hard, showed real heart, and never gave up 💛🐝

It was the kind of game where every tackle, carry, and bit of support counted, and the intensity stayed high right through to the final whistle.

With numbers tight, I stepped onto the field too — balancing boots and camera where I could, living the moments I usually capture.

Big love to my little brother for stepping in behind the lens and capturing it all while I was in the game

Footy from both sides of the sideline.

Over the weekend I followed the Hinuera Hinny Honeys down south for tour — camera in hand, ready to capture the action 📸🐝

With numbers tight, the weekend quickly turned into more than just standing behind the lens… I had to lace up the boots and jump on the field too.

The Honeys showed exactly what they’re made of — stepping in to help other teams, playing wherever they were needed, and some of the girls even clocking up an incredible 120 minutes on the field. Pure grit, heart, and determination.

And to top it all off, the Honeys brought home their first tour win against Woodend Wāhine — a pretty special moment to both be part of and capture.

Huge thanks to the legends from the Hurunui Hoggies for hosting and making the trip such an awesome experience.

A weekend full of mud, hard hits, laughter, and proud moments — the kind of rugby stories I love capturing.

A special shoutout to Darcie Turner for stepping behind the lens you did absolutely perfect!

On 21/02/2026, I dusted off a different kind of boots and headed to the Kihikihi Rodeo in Waikato.

The arena pulsed with energy — bucking bulls and broncos launching skyward, riders holding on through pure grit, and the sharp, calculated skill of steer wrestling and roping unfolding in a heartbeat. Dust, strength, and split-second timing came together, each moment a story waiting to be captured through the lens.

Headed up to the Karaka Sales 2026 yesterday to capture some beautiful moments at Hallmark Stud, photographing only a handful of their truly stunning yearlings. It was a fantastic day showcasing the quality, presence, and athleticism of these young horses, all presented beautifully on the Karaka grounds.

You may even spot a few familiar faces throughout these shots, sharing in the excitement and atmosphere that makes the Karaka Sales such a special event on the racing calendar.

For the final time, it was once again another cracker of a day at the 2025 Waikato 7s Tournament, hosted at the Hautapu fields.
The Hinuera 7s Men for sure made themselves known every time they step foot onto the paddock.

Overall, another season of 7s achieved!

The Hinuera 7s Women have worked so hard to reach their current position and have made their coaches and manager more than happy with the overall outcome of the day.

On Saturday the 1st of November, the Hinuera 2025 7s Tournament struck and boy were the rays beaming.
The Hinuera Women's 7s team represented their colors in all the best ways when competing against the visitors on their home ground and fought through every match without question making it into a final.
