Outer Banks, North Carolina – Film Photos Last month we visited the Outer Banks in North Carolina to unwind, relax and celebrate our anniversary.

But what you don’t get to see is all the awkward, embarrassing behind-the-scene moments that make everything happen! And yes, there are a lot of those (unfortunately).
