I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based in New Jersey. When I'm not photographing the sweetest couples around, you can find me watching the latest episode of Fixer Upper, listening to country music, or going exploring with my love, Ryan. We're always up for a new adventure!

I'm TORI PETRILLO.

Last week, Kristina and I met at Robert’s Garden Park in Morris Plains to grab some portraits of her before she heads off to her first year of college — such an exciting time! There wasn’t a cloud in the sky that ENTIRE day until golden hour rolled around…. and that’s when it looked like […]

To be honest, the thought of using on camera flash (and OCF!) used to freak me out!  I was an art/photography major in college, and the one and ONLY time I broke out my flash during my four years of schooling was when we were forced to for an assignment — and I dreaded every moment of it.  I didn’t like […]

Ok, so this portrait session is one of my favorites to date, hands down!  This beautiful lady is Nina, and we’ve actually known each other since we were little kids!  She’s an incredibly amazing singer (I STILL remember the first time I heard her sing back in high school and being totally blown away!) and […]

The historic Glenburn Estate in Riverdale, NJ, was the perfect venue for Katie + Steve’s elegant, classic, adventure themed wedding.  The estate is complete with original wood flooring, beautiful fireplaces, a wainscoting lined staircase AND a barn — needless to say, I was in my GLORY last weekend! We started the day by photographing Katie’s beautiful […]

Danielle’s bridal shower last weekend was an absolute DREAM!  I photographed Danielle and her extended family this past September for family portraits, and I was so happy when I was asked to come out and photograph her bridal shower.  Danielle’s family & friends are the sweetest and whenever I’m with them I feel like I’m part […]
