Pukekohe Raceway. The immense history, memories and emotions attached to this circuit are endless. I first shot here in 2021 at my first ever round of D1NZ as media and immediately hooked me into getting out and photographing motorsport.

Fast forward to now, we say goodbye to Pukekohe as a venue for more great motorsport events, but not to the memories attached to this incredible historical circuit.

For the last time, goodbye Pukekohe.

Today Aimee and I would be celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary. One of the first major milestones that we would be sharing on our journey through life together.

I’m absolutely heart broken that I don’t get to share this moment with you. A day of celebration we worked so hard towards together is finally here and I can’t put into words the pain of not being able to share that joy with you.

You were my best friend. My absolute rock in good times and bad. I feel so blessed to have had you in my life, yet so robbed that you’ve been taken away from me.
I feel happy that I have all these amazing memories with you, yet so angry that the opportunity to make more was taken away from us.

Not a moment goes by where I don’t think about you. My heart feels like it’s being torn in half today, and the realisation that the moments we were always excited to share together can only live on as memories.

I’m trying to be positive, which feels infinitely impossible today. I’m trying to be thankful, grateful. But how can I when I miss you with such desperation. On today of all days when I miss you more in a way that I never thought possible.

I love you with all of my heart my love. I know that today that you’re by my side celebrating with me, even if I can’t see you. To another 5 years 💜

Hi all,
Here is the link to the live stream for Aimee's service on Saturday.

This should be a great help to those who aren't able to be with us on the day, and will be available to re-watch for 6 months after the service has ended. Otherwise, see you Saturday.

Rest in peace my love 💜
Words can’t describe the pain of losing you. A piece of me is missing, something that can never be replaced.

You taught me of a special love & kindness that only you could radiate.

You were a beacon of light and hope in a world that could sometimes feel so dark.

I love you more than I could ever put into words. And I will desperately miss you.

First time at did not disappoint!
Some absolute monster builds on display in the paddock, and on track throughout the day.
The engineering and attention to detail behind every build was incredible!
You know it’s wild when 1000hp becomes the norm 🫠

Talk about a pinch yourself moment 🫠

We were incredibly lucky to be invited to the holy grail, the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking. Having a personal tour from our aunt Amanda of the boulevard, and special access through some impressive working areas of this jaw-dropping headquarters.

MTC houses decades of McLaren F1 history and achievements that was truly special to embrace in a way that we could only ever have dreamed of.

I can’t thank Amanda & Steven enough for such a unique and informative insight, and of course massive thanks to Zac and McLaren for welcoming us along to such a special place 🫶 🏎️

Had a mega day out at the Lexus Urban Polo event yesterday at the Auckland Domain capturing some incredibly talented riders & their stunning horses for a full day of intense competition. Backing of live DJs throughout made for a high-energy and fun-filled event from start to finish!

This was my first time attending, but hopefully not my last!
A big thanks to the organisers for inviting me along
