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.
