We love hitting the open road and seeing a new part of Nebraska! Raven and Jesse picked us for their wedding photographer at the Fremont Opera House. What a cool venue? Love the ballroom, the natural light from the main entrance is outstanding. We captured so many details, so many genuine candids and portraits. Take a look below for highlights from their wedding day!
