Engagement | Jessie and Justin | The Whalehead Club in Corolla, NC

As you may know, I’m a big fan of The Outer Banks in North Carolina.  I vacation here quite a lot, 5 years ago I got married here and I’ve even photographed a couple weddings here as well.  Someday I will live here!  In July I was vacationing here with friends (once all the client stuff is caught up it’ll be blogged!) and during the trip I was able to squeeze in an engagement session with clients of mine that are nearby.  Yay!

The Whalehead Club is an old duck hunting club that was built in the 1920’s.  It changed hands a few times over the years, at once time even being a boys school.  Eventually it fell into disrepair and was abandoned and many of my younger memories of this mansion was the tales on how it was filled with snakes (later I found out this was true) and being scared of how it looked.  In the late 90’s they started restoration of this building and I am SO glad they did as it’s an absolutely gorgeous home and should be shown off.  The grounds surrounding it are also beautiful and it’s one of the best places to watch a sunset in Corolla.

Jessie and Justin met up with me on a crazy weather day.  It rained off and on for our entire stay and we luckily managed to dodge the rain clouds that kept chasing me all week.  The sky wasn’t quite as dazzling as I’d hoped but at least there weren’t any storms (and some that week were crazy strong, even produced some tornados and water spouts).  They were so easy going and fun to play with!  See you guys in a couple weeks!

This bridge is a historic bridge and I love old bridges!  On the other side of this there was a bunch of kids catching crabs in traps which was fun to watch!
