When you want the most slammin’ Sweet Sixteen celebration ever, where do you turn? Simeral and Co. of course! Ashley’s bash was at the rooftop ballroom of the gorgeous Taj Hotel in Boston. The rooftop sports a truly singular view of the twinkling lights of Boston. It was the perfect compliment to swanky, sparkling decor in the ballroom.

Guests arrived and got to the party on the dance floor immediately. No boring formalities for this teen superstar! Here are some of my favorite images from the day.

It’s a real treat knowing your event is absolutely going to be gorgeous and will run smoothly. It allows me to concentrate on actually taking photos! Nicole didn’t disappoint. The Wharf Room at the Boston Harbor Hotel was decked out in brilliant yellow and green with a mixture of long and round dining tables and a fabulous black dance floor. True to their roots, Marie and Mina decided to name each table after a part of the brain. And I have no words for their place card table. You’ll just have to take a look! Here are some of my favorite photos from […]
