Shooting At Manatee Lagoon
Updated July 2026
Manatee Lagoon is one of the more unusual venues we shoot in the West Palm Beach area, and it photographs like nowhere else on our calendar. The FPL Eco-Discovery Center sits right on the Lake Worth Lagoon, so ceremonies and portraits get a wide-open waterfront backdrop with Palm Beach Island visible across the water. Because it's a two-story facility with several distinct event spaces, we get real variety in a single day, waterside shots for the ceremony, then a different look and feel for portraits and reception coverage without ever leaving the property.
The setting also comes with a genuine novelty factor for guests: manatees are known to pass through the lagoon during cooler months, and more than one couple we've worked with has had guests step outside between courses to watch for them. As photographers, we plan around the golden hour light over the water, since that waterfront exposure is the single biggest asset the venue offers.
Insider Tips For Manatee Lagoon
Manatee Lagoon is located at 6000 N Flagler Dr in West Palm Beach, Florida, right on the Lake Worth Lagoon.
No. Manatee Lagoon books weddings on weekends only, so couples should plan their date around Saturday or Sunday availability.
Manatee Lagoon is rented as a blank-canvas venue, meaning couples bring in their own catering and vendors rather than choosing from an in-house list. We coordinate our shot list and timeline around whatever vendor schedule the couple sets up.
We consistently head for the waterfront side of the property, where the open view across Lake Worth Lagoon toward Palm Beach Island gives soft, uninterrupted light for golden hour portraits.
Yes. Candid Studios photographs and films weddings at Manatee Lagoon and throughout West Palm Beach.

Honestly still looking through the gallery from our wedding in Pinecrest and I’m just so grateful to Candid Studios!! These guys made everything feel so effortless even with the crazy heat on the day. Our photographer captured all the little candid moments we didn’t even notice happening and our videographer got the most perfect shots of the ceremony that honestly brought us both to tears. You get exactly what you pay for and then some. If anyone is looking for wedding photography and videography in Miami I couldn’t recommend them more!
