My favorite thing about being a Westchester event photographer at this tented backyard Summer party, was everything! The tent was so gorgeous and it didn't need air conditioning as this was already August and in the northern NYC suburbs the temperature can drop in the evenings. At this Summer party with friends, the outdoors and tented portions of the space blended together so beautifully. The event planner did an exquisite job with a Moroccon theme. Ouside were floor pillows welcoming the guests and leading you towards the tent. Inside of the tent it was set up as a series of private enclaves set around a dance floor. It is a good thing they had a tent because we had an intense thunder storm at some point in the middle of the evening! It was over in an instant. That can happen in the middle of Summer.
Is there a difference between tented Hamptons parties and tentred Summer parties in places such as Harrison in Westchester NY?
Yes and no. The main difference in the Hamptons is the ocean and how close you are. Tented beach parties can get chilly at night and windy too. That is one reason party guests often get zippered sweat shirts as swag.
