Photographer’s Secret: Lighting Private Marquee Tents
Private estate weddings in McLean frequently feature custom sailcloth or clear-top marquee tents on expansive residential lawns. Clear-top tents create magical starlit dining experiences, but require careful lighting balance to avoid reflections on camera. We coordinate with your lighting designer and utilize warm, continuous ambient accents to ensure your tent interior sparkles while couple portraits remain crisp, romantic, and natural.
