Introduction: Welcome to What's The Occasion Photography! We (Thomas and Amanda) are a couple based in Virginia but we travel all across the East Coast. Together, we are a photography team that specializes in: Couples, Engagement, Sports, Children, and Lifestyle Photography. Our adventure started out of our mutual love for photography. We both firmly believe photos are more than just a simple click on a phone. They are a reflection of that person's soul. They remind us who we are, where we have been, the people that matter most to us, and most importantly a memory that we will always cherish. We are looking forward to connecting with you!

Absolutely wonderful service. I was heading to VB for my son's 2nd birthday and wanted a photographer to capture annual photos. I found WhatstheOccasion via Thumbtack and really liked their work compared to the cost. They kept constant communication, took my suggestions, and showed similar work to what I was requesting prior to the actual date. The day of, Thomas was punctual, had sample photos specific to what I was looking for, so he could use it for inspiration and showed me the photos he was taking throughout, which is incredibly convenient and helpful, to ensure he was capturing what I was expecting. He wasn't bound by time and kept asking if there was anything else I wanted captured that he hadn't yet gotten. He navigated sand, waves, my tired toddler, and high-maintenance parents, all to get amazing photos. I will absolutely use him again in the future and encourage others to do so. Thanks again, Thomas! The photos are amazing!

Exceptional ☺️ Mr. Thomas was so amazing. I'm getting emotional while writing this review. He was attentive, patience, understanding, open, fun, funny, professional, genuinely care, creative, thoughtful...... I can go on and on. My situation my partner and I are same sex couple that live in Pennsylvania, but wanted a Virginia Beach ceremony. Which was just her and I & officiant. First date officiant cancelled, next date we ran late. I thought it was a sign that it's not met to be. Mr. Thomas gave us words of encouragement and hope that everything will be alright 🙏💞 Ceremony was only beautiful because of Mr. Thomas vibe/energy! The officiant we hired was basic, boring, & told us he does not want to get his shoes wet😳 Mr. Thomas took his shoes off and was ready for whatever ☺️😍Mr. Thomas captured many memorable moments and got really awesome pictures. It was a gloomy day, no sun and photos came out amazing! He is so thoughtful... he has a few tricks up his sleeve & I will not tell what they are, but just know it makes him even more exceptional. We love and will forever hire you and your wife for any events we plan.

Thomas was AMAZING throughout the entire process of the engagement; he was punctual, attentive, kind, and gave real-time feedback and direction to make sure we walked away with excellent photos to share with our friends and family. He also coordinated before the photoshoot to make sure everything was in order before the proposal itself. I absolutely recommend working with "What's the Occasion Photography" for your photoshoot!! :)

I loved having whattheoccasion take my grandchildren's photos. they did such a marvelous job. they had my grandchildren smiling and the smiles that lit up their faces were captured in the pictures. I will definitely be hiring them again for a huge family photo that I cannot wait for. you cannot go wrong by hiring this pair to take your photos

Thomas and Amanda were the absolute best! Me and my fiancé could not have asked for a better experience for our engagement photos. They were very quick to respond, super professional and made us feel so comfortable. It felt like hanging out with friends! They had great back drops already scouted out for us and made sure to deliver the couple of poses that we really wanted, in addition to so many more. Their photography perfectly captures me and my fiancé’s love and we are so in love with our photos. Can not recommend them enough!!
