    Averie is amazing!!

    Averie/Towards the Moon is incredible. I had a Jersey City wedding and wanted a photographer local to the area. Averie knows JC like the back of her hand and was able to take us to the best locations to capture our engagement and wedding photos. Averie is punctual, professional, and very creative! It was great spending time with her and we are beyond happy with how our engagement and wedding photos came out.

    Best Hire for your Special Day!!

    Towards the Moon made my wedding day experience seamless and captured every amazing moment. I cried when I got the full photo gallery, getting to relive it all over. I engaged Towards the Moon for the Intimate Wedding Package and as someone who does not enjoy taking photos, Averie made me feel comfortable and was able to maximize every minute of her time during our event to capture all of the details. Such a great decision hiring Averie and her team. The level of professionalism and expertise is phenomenal. Because of her, my family and I have the most beautiful memories to reflect back on. Thank you!!!!

    Hire Averie ASAP

    Where do I begin? Averie is not just an amazing artist but a truly great human. From the first time I met her for coffee I knew she was exactly why we wanted. Her aesthetic, work ethic, and sheer talent is one of a kind. We both felt so comfortable in front of her lens and cannot believe how amazing our pictures came out.

    Don’t sleep on this one! BOOK. NOW.

    I could go on for days about how happy we are that we chose Averie and her team to photograph our big day, but to get to the point…She is THE BEST.

    When searching for vendors, a good photographer was at the top of our list. And Averie isn’t just good, she’s unbelievably talented! We chose our venue for the photo opportunities and when we saw Towards The Moon’s blog post from our venue we immediately knew it was a match.

    We aren’t the most comfortable behind the camera so we wanted someone who would make us feel a little less awkward and get those candid moments throughout the day and she did just that and more. Averie went above and beyond every step of the way. From initial conversations, to our engagement shoot, to her creative direction and patience on the day of, we are absolutely blown away by every photo.

    My maid of honor sums it up perfectly:
    “I can’t get over your wedding pictures. I have never seen more stunning pictures in my life. They [Towards the Moon] are so talented. Every picture is perfect”

    So here’s a sneak peek of her amazing work, don’t sleep on this one, BOOK. NOW.

    Stunning photos

    Averie and her team shot our wedding and we were beyond amazed with their incredible work. Her team took the time to understand our traditional wedding customs, asked thoughtful questions, and were really flexible and encouraging throughout the process. My wife and I were nervous because we are both camera shy, but Averie and her team made us feel extremely comfortable and took beautiful candids. Choosing Averie and her team was undoubtedly the best vendor choice we made for our special day and every penny is worth it. The photos are beautiful and captured emotions and the sunlight perfectly. If you are considering Towards the Moon, just go for it, you won't be disappointed.

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about Averie and her team. Averie made both our engagement shoot and our wedding day photos SO much fun and feel absolutely effortless. She made sure we were both comfortable and enjoying ourselves which was so important to me. Her calm and cool demeanor helped to make our day run so smoothly. And we are in LOVE with our photos!

    Amazing photographer

    If you are looking for the perfect photographer - look no further! Averie and her work are absolutely incredible. My fiance and I hired Averie to help us shoot our engagement photos in New York City and the outcome blew us away. We could not be happier with Averie and her work! Averie was so much fun to work with. She is extremely personable and made the entire experience comfortable for us. My fiance is usually shy in front of the camera, but Averie did such a good job capturing us in a natural way he warmed right up. Not only are the photos we received GORGEOUS, we also got them THE NEXT DAY. I cannot tell you how pleasant of a shock that was! We receive continuous compliments on our photos and I can't stop showing them off. You MUST hire Averie! She is the best!

    Not your average wedding video

    We hired Averie from Towards the Moon as our videographer for our wedding in May. When we came across one of Averie’s videos, we fell in love with her style and booked her immediately! We watched a lot of videos to try to figure out what we wanted and no other videos would compare. Her style is so artful and unique - it certainly doesn’t follow the usual script for wedding videos. When editing, she has you fill out a questionnaire to make sure she takes your exact preferences into account: slow and romantic, fun and upbeat, quirky, etc.

    On the wedding day, she took a journalistic approach to filming our wedding, mostly giving us the space to enjoy our day, and VERY lightly directing us when needed to help us get those gorgeous shots.

    We were blown away by our wedding video - we were so happy with it we were willing to pay for an additional dancing montage, but Averie threw it in for free! It was such a lovely surprise, and we watch both videos over and over. She also includes raw footage with her packages, which we’ve watched bits and pieces of already - it’s so fun to see all the raw and unfiltered parts of the day too.

    Hire Averie - you can’t go wrong with Towards the Moon!

    The most magical day!

    Averie made our elopement so magical and effortless! She was kind, professional, accommodating, and best of all fun! She has an innate ability to capture special moments through her lens that I have never seen before. Her talent truly speaks for itself and every photo is a work of art. We were blown away by the stunning portraits and candid shots she took. My main goal was to capture our love and happiness in it’s truest form and she absolutely nailed it! To be honest, we have not been able to stop staring at our pictures! As a bonus, the turn around time to getting the images back was remarkably fast! Choosing Averie to shoot your special day is the easiest and best decision you can make. Thank you so much Averie!!!

    Absolutely phenomenal photographer!

    Where do I even begin? Averie has been beyond phenomenal through the planning and wedding day! I was lucky enough to see her in action before I was engaged at a family friends wedding. Her professionalism but calm demeanor and her photos had me sold on hiring her for my day!

    When Averie arrived at the venue she instantly meshed into our fun chaos and even felt like family! She asked if there were any specific shots we wanted and even suggested shots. She takes creative leaps, for example at my wedding she wanted to try out throwing confetti... so far that is my absolute favorite photo!! It brings out the pure joy and bliss of love and that was all from her creative eye!! During the reception she walked around taking candid's but also helped family members who haven't seen each other in a while, take new updated photos which was a big hit!

    I'm absolutely blown away by Averie and Towards The Moon's professionalism, creative ability and friendliness! I cannot recommend her/them enough!

    Luckily, I get to see Averie and her crew in a few weeks at my sisters wedding!

    Best ever!

    I cannot recommend Averie and her team enough. From booking, to the wedding day, to delivering the photos, she and her team were outstanding. During my wedding day, they struck the perfect balance between professionalism/poise and having relaxed, calming energy. I fully trusted them and admired how they were able to stay organized, keep things fun, and also be able to wrangle not only my fiance and I but also my loud, large family. The photos exceeded all of our expectations and somehow seemed to capture the emotions behind every moment. Thank you, Averie, for making our special day even more special!

    Gorgeous photos

    Averie did an incredible job taking photos of our special day. We've been thrilled with them and our whole family is raving about how gorgeous they are. She really captured the spirit of the day in its best angle!

    She was very professional throughout the whole day - I especially appreciated Averie wearing a mask throughout the hot day during covid19. It was lovely to have her gentle guidance during the celebration.

    Afterwards, she edited the photos and gave them to us within the week! It was a super fast turnaround and super appreciated.

    Phenomenal Photography/Videography Team

    Averie and her team have been absolutely amazing to work with! Averie did our engagement shoot, which was the first time my husband and I took professional photos together, so it took a minute but she helped us get comfortable, and made the gloomy day work in our favor. She was very understanding when we had to upend our plans (not once, but twice) because of COVID, worked with us on rescheduling, and the finished products are creative, beautiful, and meaningful. We were still able to have a socially distanced, intimate ceremony on May 24th this year, and the TTM team blew it out of the water! We got our pictures back and she had captured the day so beautifully. We thought we wouldn’t see any video footage until after our postponed reception in 2021, but Averie just surprised us the other day with a stunning wedding film that I cannot stop watching! They were very professional, inspired, and supportive throughout the whole day, and this entire process. Her work clearly speaks for itself, and I have no shortage of romantic, artistic pictures to frame and I am beyond thankful that we chose Averie, and Towards the Moon, to capture our beautiful day(s). I cannot wait until next year and see what magic she creates!

    Must book! Best photo/video team!

    Averie and her team were absolutely wonderful to work without throughout the entire wedding process. Averie first impressed us after our engagement shoot, when she somehow managed to get stunning pictures of an awkward couple on a rainy afternoon. We knew then we had made the right choice. We then dragged the entire TTM team to our wedding in upstate NY, where they were extremely accommodating about a non-traditional venue location and wedding that was to last two days! They took the time to scope out the venue, scenery, and come up with a vision for the entire weekend so we could get different shots. They were extremely professional and understanding throughout the weekend, especially when we were running short on time, or even if I just needed a few minutes away from the camera. They were constantly thinking of new ideas-like creating late night portraits with cool bright lights, taking moody bonfire shots, or walking us into the middle of a field for our first look. I love that they are true artists, always looking for inspiration. We received our sneak peek just days after our wedding and the entire gallery around a month after. The final result was AMAZING, with Averie showcasing a variety of styles from moody, airy, dramatic, candid, etc- she made our wedding look like an absolute dream! Even when I felt that I wanted a few more pictures of certain moments throughout the weekend, Averie very kindly and patiently fulfilled my request, which just proves that her team truly captures it all. Her work is beyond stunning, and I highly recommend the entire TTM team- I can’t wait to hire them again in the future!

    Must book the best photographer!

    Insane credit due to this phenomenal photographer and her talented staff. We hired Averie to shoot our wedding in Los Angeles, getting ready in Hollywood and then Downtown LA for our wedding night.

    Her artistic eye is what drew us to her shooting style and she delivered every bit of it to us in our wedding photos. My now-husband and I are two awkward-photo-taking people and she made us feel as comfortable & natural as we could, with minimal double chin photos. We got a wide variety of photo backgrounds and looks because of her vision and her uncanny ability to direct us when needed.

    Her turnaround time for photo delivery was unreal. We were able to use our photos for our custom thank you cards, with printed photos for our guests, and delivered our cards within 6 weeks of the wedding date. That made us feel amazing and like we were on top of our neverending wedding to do list (which continues long after the wedding is over!).

    Averie is an amazing professional, don’t look anywhere else for all your visual needs. We are eternally grateful for her delivery of these amazing photos and memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I’m saying this as I smile, gazing at our wedding photos hanging on a wall in our house. It’s true what everyone says, your wedding flies by in the blink of an eye, so if you want to be able to relive those special moments, AVERIE & TOWARDS THE MOON is the way to go.

    Perfectly captured the day

    Averie was a wonderful wedding photographer. My wife and I had a very intimate ceremony and dinner—only 12 people total—and Averie fit right in to the group. Our settings were tricky—on the streets of New York, on the subway, in a public park, and in a private room lit almost entirely by candles. Not only did she seamlessly navigate all the changes in scenery and lighting, she got some shots we never would have even thought of—subtle moments with our family on the cab ride to the dinner and interacting with random strangers on the subway. All in all, we had hundreds of beautiful photos to remember the day by.

    She was a complete pleasure to work with—very clear in all communications, kind and considerate with everyone, able to wrangle a lot of different people and situations—and totally worth every penny. She even got us our photos while we were still on our honeymoon—way earlier than we anticipated! If you’re looking for a great photographer who will roll with whatever you throw her way and really capture the spirit of your celebration, look no further.

    Averie & team create & capture pure magic

    Averie, her associate & her work are as good as it gets, she understood our vibe immediately day of (since we opted out of an engagement shoot-although looking back I wished we did-since we can be awkward) and captured it perfectly. Friends of mine who are also wedding photographers were blown away by our preview photos alone. She is extremely professional, but that doesn't take away from the calming effect she provided all day, especially when taking photos of me & the bridal party getting ready and on the way to the ceremony. There was a street fair in the couple blocks between our AirBNB and the ceremony space that was causing insane traffic. Quick on her feet, she suggested we walk instead of taking an uber & some of my favorite shots from the day are of me and my bridesmaids walking through the street fair. She did an amazing job of capturing our portraits in a way that felt truly candid & not stiff /forced poses. The way the light is hitting us alone is my favorite part of every photo. She also came prepared with colorful confetti and a pink smoke bomb that created some of the more magical photos from the day. All of the photos from the reception, even when it got dark (on a rooftop), were shot & edited is such a cool way that they perfectly portrayed the scene & all of the fun we had. Overall, I completely trusted her to capture every detail & even better than I would have envisioned. Being someone who is an avid photo taker, I didn't once have to ask for a certain shot or be concerned something would be left out. She turned around all edits in a timely manner & provided a pretty robust preview right away. There is so much variation & everything captures the pure love & joy of that day. I can’t stop looking at them over & over and I don't know how we will be able to narrow it down. I honestly could go on & on, but Averie is truly a modern leader of her craft & creates pure magic. With that being said, I highly recommend Averie. Without me bringing it up, my maid of honor was so impressed she is looking to work with her as well for her own wedding next fall.

    She captures the magic of the day!

    Working with Averie and her team was a pleasure. I can’t say enough about the quality of her work. Her photos capture the emotion of both candid and posed shots with an authentic beauty- that is the only way I can describe it. I can literally look at our photos all day- you will honestly be blown away.

    Averie was an absolute pleasure to work with! My sisters booked her for my bridal shower and we were sooo pleased with the results. She perfectly captured the special day. The candid and raw moments she shot are legit amazing. We’re so happy we found someone who was able to navigate through our event effortlessly and independently and capture all of our favorite parts of the day. I can’t stop looking through the album! She’s super kind, talented and I would definitely work with her again!

    Averie is amazing! We had her for both our ceremony and wedding party a few months later - the photos are beautiful! She was able to capture our wedding in the exact way we envisioned and is so talented - we will definitely use her in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for photography at their next event!

    Averie was absolutely wonderful to work with before and during our wedding. Not only was she extremely professional, she made the day of our wedding so fun and stress free. My husband was extremely apprehensive to having a videographer at first, but I insisted on needing it! (Happy wife, happy life--right?!) The day after our wedding, every person in our bridal party talked about how great it was taking all the pictures and working with Averie, including my husband!
