From the August 11, 2017, WECT (Wilmington, N.C.) "Permits for pictures are required for some at Fort Fisher" by Alex Guarino.
Fort Fisher is a popular site for wedding photos. Very popular.
But, professional photographers need permits to shoot there. Non-professional picture-takers do not have to have these permits, though.
This requirement has been in effect since 1976 in North Carolina State Parks, which includes historic sites. However, this is not posted anywhere.
Wedding photographer Marcus Anthony: "I love Fort Fisher. It's got the beach on one side. It's got rocks. It's got the sound on one side with the forest and trees. It's got the state historic site. It's got so much variety in such a small space, but I don't think I'll be getting a permit."
The rules say a permit is needed "for anyone taking photos for commercial use." The permit costs $25 for a day or $100 for a year.
