The Shornaks - Live Wedding Painting


 The Shornaks were married on Roanoke Island in Maneto, North Carolina. If you've watched American Horror Story, AHS Roanoke is set on this location. The whole area consists of the Nags Head, Outer Banks location. The Lost Colony in Roanoke in the late 1500s just disappeared. The colony was established in 1585, but when a ship visited in 1590, all 112 residents were nowhere to be found and their fate remains unknown. When I travel somewhere for a live wedding painting, I will often spend an extra night or two just to explore the area. So I went where the Lost Colony disappeared, saw where the original earthwork mounds were, saw the lighthouse on the island and had an unforgettable experience at The Scarborough Inn...whatever you do if you visit Maneto, don't stay there.
