Had the honor of shooting a wedding here and it turned out amazing! The golf course and greenery served as the perfect spot for my couples wedding ceremony and their wedding day portraits. The staff here were amazing and made sure my team and I had everything we needed on the day. If you are a newly engaged couple, you should take a serious look at the Elk River Club!
