About
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!

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! My family is quite big and we are definitely some talkers, Thomas was able to keep it energetic and still keep us all on track. From the second my family and I met Thomas, it felt like we all had known each other. Which made the photo session fun and comfortable. We all had such a blast!

Details: Family or children's portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • Album or photo book • Physical proofs and prints • My home, venue, etc.

We had such a great experience with Whats the Occasion Photography! He was incredibly patient with our three kids and really understood their needs, which made the whole session feel relaxed and enjoyable. We had a larger group of eight with two different family units, and he made sure to capture all the groupings we asked for without making it feel rushed or stressful. He was responsive, on time, and delivered our photos exactly when he said he would—and they turned out beautiful. He also brought a great energy to the session, keeping things light and even making us laugh, which definitely shows in the photos. His pricing is very reasonable for the quality and experience he provides. Highly recommend!

Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Physical proofs and prints • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

We had a wonderful session with Thomas at the Norfolk Botanical gardens! He was patient with our 1 year old and made us all feel comfortable during the shoot. Our preview pictures looked fantastic. We'd definitely hire him in the future!
