Best Photo Locations
The Beach
Direct beach access means sand, waves, and endless ocean as your backdrop. Atlantic Beach offers beautiful sunrise and sunset light, and the waves create a romantic, timeless setting.
Oceanfront Courtyard
Accommodates up to 200 for ceremony and 150 for reception with ocean views. The manicured courtyard provides a more formal beach setting with the Atlantic as backdrop.
The Ballroom
Elegant indoor space for up to 200 guests with sophisticated decor and natural light from large windows. Perfect for both ceremonies and receptions.
Ocean Terrace
An intimate outdoor space for up to 50 guests with direct ocean views. Ideal for smaller celebrations or cocktail hours.
Resort Architecture
The 4-diamond resort features elegant coastal architecture. Columns, archways, and sophisticated design elements create polished portrait backdrops.
Guest Rooms & Suites
The 193 guest rooms include ocean views that make for beautiful getting-ready photos. The bridal suite is especially photogenic.
Photographer Tips
Sunset is Everything
The Atlantic-facing beach means morning sun and evening golden hour. We'll time your portraits for the best light - usually about an hour before sunset for that warm, romantic glow.
Book Guest Rooms
With 193 rooms on-site, your guests can stay right where the celebration is. This makes logistics easier and extends the celebration into after-hours moments.
Use the Spa Perks
The award-winning spa offers couples massages post-wedding. Many couples include this in their experience - the bridal party often books treatments the morning-of.
All-Inclusive Simplifies Planning
In-house catering and planning means one team coordinates everything. They know the venue intimately and timing runs smoothly.
Note the Rebranding
One Ocean is becoming 'Dune House' in 2026. The venue and service remain the same - just a fresh name to know when planning.
