I got my film back from our mini vacation at Carolina Beach for the 4th of July and my mini road trip down the Outer Banks a week later. At the begining of the year I vowed that I would one and for all see Cape Hatteras this summer… to be honest, I’m embarrassed I’ve never been. So.. I spent the 2nd-6th at Carolina Beach, ventured to my day job summer camp in Columbia, NC (north-east, NC) and then decided I would drive back down via the Outer Banks to Carolina Beach again for the weekend. I knew it would be a long haul (9 hours instead of 3.5), but worth it. I will say driving Hwy 12 was surreal, beautiful, and nerve wracking. To be alone, on an island, hours from anyone you know was a little unsettling. I’m very glad I did it, but don’t think I’ll ever do it again, alone! These images are a mix of different locations along these 2 weeks, from Ocean Isle, up through Nags Head, I would LOVE to go back and shoot weddings in these places!!
