Red Setter Rustic Wedding | Greer, Arizona | Pentax 645n Kodak Portra
Imagine a gorgeous mid-summer day in Greer, AZ. Perfect weather, not to hot, & just cool enough to calm the nerves. That’s how Kim & Michael started their wedding day at the beautiful three story log cabin that is the Red Setter Inn.
Red Setter, Arizona's Riverside Retreat is a prime location for weddings in the scenic White Mountains of Arizona. Located near the full running Little Colorado River, a bountiful monsoon season is to thank for the sounds of running water, & the prosperous forest landscape. Capturing this day’s simplistic charm with Kodak Portra film, on a Pentax 645n camera was all too easy in a setting such as this.
A more traditional wedding with baby’s breath & white roses guiding this couple down the aisle. Roses were also used in Kim’s bouquet, tied simply with a white ribbon. In combination with her sweetheart neck, A-line gown, and a light sprinkling of beading on the bodice; this couple enjoyed stolen kisses amongst the towering pines.
Kim and Michael were married by local minister Matt Gapson. Their delicious cake was crafted by Carole’s Creations in Snowflake, and the flowers were arranged by another Snowflake company, Silver Creek Flowers. Wedding planner Shaneen Elefante, and DJ Lance Grey of White Mountain DJ finished off the unsalable, making this elegant wedding possible.
Michael, a contractor, is a very lucky man to have Kim, a school teacher, as his new wife!

Michele & Dave's 20 Year Vow Renewal | Greer, Arizona Wedding
Michele and Dave have enjoyed twenty years of marriage, raised three beautiful children, and continue to fight a battle called cancer. The couple decided to renew their wedding vows in the lush green valley of Greer located in Northeastern Arizona this summer. Their oldest son was on leave while serving our country, he felt honored his parents asked him to help them renew their commitment to each other, while their other son and daughter stood proud next to their parents. Simple, just full of so much emotion... even I had to hold back my tears while photographing their ceremony. Shaneen Elefante of Molly Butler Lodge planned out their vow renewal, and designed the wedding florals from Dawn Hall at The Morning Rose flower shop in Show Low. Ever detail had meaning for Michele and Dave, from the color of the flowers to the satin ribbon wrapping the bouquet. Carol Maxwell of Carols Creations provided the couple we a mini wedding cake. Created on a Pentax 645N and Canon EOS 3 film cameras, using FujiFilm and Kodak Portra medium format stocks.
