About these Lakeside wedding at Paradise Cove in Orlando, Florida - Wedding Photos...

Joanne and Stephen were married at Paradise Cove in Orlando, Florida. Paradise Cove is a part of Buena Vista Watersports - you can rent boats and jet skis during the day and at night you can rent out the property for weddings and events.

The best part about Paradise Cove is you can have your wedding ceremony just a few steps from Lake Bryan. There is a beach area right on the lake so you could have a very small wedding ceremony on the beach. But most of the wedding ceremonies are held on the lawn facing the lake. Paradise Cove has a nice paved walkway that you can use as your aisle for the ceremony. And in addition to the lake you have a bunch of gorgeous Cypress Trees that add to the backdrop of your wedding ceremony.

Joanne and Stephen came from Ireland to have their ceremony at Paradise Cove. They rented a villa just down the street and they had a small group of family and friends join them for the wedding. The girls got ready in the lakeside house - it has a great loft area for the girls to get dressed and downstairs they have a huge mirror for final touch ups before you walk down the aisle.

After their wedding ceremony we took a few sunset photos of Joanne and Stephen by the water and they headed over to the bar area for the cocktail hour. Everything at Paradise Cove is outside and you have a nice breeze coming off the lake to keep your reception cool. Right next to the open air bar there are a bunch of Adirondak chairs on the beach and tiki torches to light up the area. Paradise Cove also has a deck area right off the beach and reception patio that has lights strung above.

Joanne and Stephen were announced by DJ Les to come into the outdoor reception area that is covered to have their first dance. Then they sat down to do a few toasts and to have their greeting card messages from friends and family back home read to them.
