I love those pictures that people get at their weddings of the whole group, but at nearly 300 guests, that was simply not an option! We were so lucky to be surrounded by loving friends and family, many whom we had spent the last three years far away from in Syracuse, and the wedding was a giant reunion! I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you a few of my favorite photos of friends and family who came to share the day with us!

This one and the next are two of my favorite photos in sequence! They’re good friends from my childhood and we’re all spread out now.

Cousins!

A large group of “my” friends (you know, because they are all “our” friends now )

A family I adopted myself into a long time ago. Fun fact: the guy standing to my right and I played twins in our 3rd grade play, and I was a head taller than HIM then!

Medical school friends

Cousins

Rabbi KB and Mr. HC

My beautiful step-nana and step-papa

My mom’s side of the family

Friends

Close friends from Syracuse

Mr. HC’s camp friends (any other Camp Ramah alums out there?)

Mr. HC’s family

Mr. HC and his uncle (I loooove this picture)

Mr. HC and our moms

Mr. HC and his (our!) good friends, many with their own weddings coming up!

My Mickey!! (personal photo)

I know this picture is super tiny, but I just had to share it! This is a picture of me with my high school prom date, and we just had to pose like this! (personal photo)

And all my guy friends from growing up. It’s maybe one of my favorite pictures from the whole night. (personal photo)

Hermit Crab wedding tip #24:

It seems like we never have enough pictures of the people who were at our wedding! If there are group shots that you definitely want to have, make sure to write a list and give it to your photographer so you don’t miss anyone!
