Celeste & Alden's Wedding Part 2 - Hawaii

The reception was held at Hale Koa Hotel, Honolulu, Hawaii. Its a stunning hotel and great place to have a reception. With the time ticking, the party was on its way.

Here are some of my fav shots:

8/8/8 cake for an 8/8/8 wedding. Sea turtles are beautiful and can be spotted all around Hawaii. If you notice the cake and other details throughout the wedding, turtles have been incorporated beautifully.
