    Proposal and engagement party NYC

    Leo did a fantastic job capturing our special moment in Williamsburg. He was on time and did a great job. He positioned us well and was great at having a good vision for the pictures.

    He also took our engagement party pictures. He captured special moments that we will cherish forever. He delivered them all back to us edited beautifully as well.

They arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel at ease throughout the session. They patiently listened to our ideas and incorporated them seamlessly into the shoot. Working with Leonard Okpor was an absolute pleasure. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of the photos, they were professional, attentive, and incredibly talented. They captured the essence of our Wedding perfectly and we are so thrilled with the results. We highly recommend Leonard Okpor Photography services. I was blown away by Leonard ability to capture such natural and beautiful moments during our wedding. They were so skilled at blending into the background and catching candid shots, which resulted in truly authentic and cherished memories. They were also incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. We just wanted to say thank you for everything. You were absolutely wonderful you made our first professional photography experience the best .

    Great experience and amazing photography!

    We can’t recommend Leo enough! He recently photographed our civil wedding ceremony and captured every moment perfectly. When looking through my partner and I had huge smiles on our faces and felt like we were back experiencing it all over again. Leo has a wonderful ability to adapt, provide direction, and make you feel comfortable. We look forward to our next opportunity to work with him. Thank you!!!

    Unique and Talented

    We hired Leonard for our wonderful wedding and we dont regret it, he went beyond and always made out time to ensure everything was in order. discussed ideas and made sure we felt comfortable making suggestions. On our special day he truly outdid himself. He was on time, prepared and friendly. he did not miss any shot. I really do recommend him because he will be fully involved. He is an Artist and adaptive, he uses his environment and things you don't see he catches on and at same time he doesnt force any idea. In the moment he can create the perfect candid shot or compose a wonderful posed shot. Our guests loved him, and one may be hiring him soon as he was a tremendous part of our day. He also provided a wonderful Wedding Album for us. If you have any doubt i will ask you not to have, do hire him and you won't regret one bit.

    Thanks again for been amazing and been part of our special and loving day

    My wedding photos are AMAZING

    Leo was such a great help for me and my husband. We had never taken any photos professionally and were A little nervous we might look silly. But Leo did the most amazing job of making us feel comfortable and helping us pose and look natural for our wedding photos. Most important he made us look Fantastic. My absolute favorite photo of myself has come of this and I cannot be more grateful.

    Thank you so much, I am really glad you loved it and I also enjoyed the post wedding shoot. you both are amazing

    A True Pro

    Leonard is a great photographer and an overall amazing person! We loved having him as part of our wedding day. He was very helpful with showing us poses for the photos, and he was generous with his time scouting out locations before the wedding.

    Leonard was punctual, communicated the entire process, made us feel comfortable and felt like a friend throughout the entire shoot. We connected immediately. I highly recommend him as he is able to visualize everything with ease and work in any environment. He guided us the entire time and had us feeling super confident. We love every single one of our shots! Do not hesitate to book him for your shoot!

    Leonard is the best!

    Leonard gave us great memories for our fifth anniversary party! He was very responsive, professional, punctual, flexible, and kind! We gave minimal instructions (family photos before the party) and let him do his magic. He captured a great mix of heart felt and candid moments. When our schedule was a bit delayed he stayed longer than we booked in order to make sure we didn't miss anything. The photos were ready astonishingly quick and the quality was superb. He handled all the various lighting challenges with ease (started windy & bright outside,then moved indoors with bright windows, ending indoors with a dark evening). We highly recommend Leonard!

    A wonderful photographer!

    Leo was a wonderful part of our wedding experience. He was great to work with from our initial introductory calls -- friendly, warm, thoughtful. He was a seamless part of the wedding day itself, taking beautiful, dynamic photos. We highly recommend Leo! Our wedding album and engagement/post-wedding shoot pics turned out wonderfully. Thanks!

    Where do I begin?! Leo photographed our engagement photos and that entire day confirmed for us we wanted to hire him for our wedding. Great communication, quick return time for photos, and he truly captured the memories we were looking for.

    Highly Recommended Wedding Photographer!

    I’ve worked alongside Leonard at several weddings and photoshoots where I provided bridal beauty services, and it’s always a fantastic experience!

    He knows how to capture every moment beautifully with an eye for detail and a genuine passion for his craft. His ability to make couples and their guests feel at ease is evident, resulting in stunning, natural photos that truly reflect the joy and love of their wedding day.

    He’s friendly, professional, and incredibly talented. I highly recommend Leo to any couple looking for a photographer who will not only deliver exceptional photos but also enhance the overall experience of their special day

    The Greatest Hype Man

    My wife and I had the pleasure to work with Leo for our wedding ceremony and photoshoot. He was super professional and personable. We had a very small wedding of only 12 people so we kept the photo package small since we didn't have a ton of guests to focus on. Leo was able to fit right in and charm all of the guests as if he was always meant to be there. He doesn't come with a ton of equipment but that may vary based on the package you're looking for. He was very affordable and made us feel like rockstars when taking photos. He is an excellent hype man and reassured us whenever we felt awkward or out of place. Neither my wife or I are big on photoshoots because they can feel very vain so Leo was able to mix in a lot of natural candid shots in between the formal shoot which made for some nice lifelike photos. The one thing I will callout is that given his light equipment load, he didn't come with a ton of lighting options which could have come in handy for the church since it was a bit dim in the sanctuary. However, I reiterate that that may change with higher packages. Overall, very pleased with the experience.

    Leonard was extremely easy to work with. I contacted him less than two weeks from my Elopement & he came through with no hesitation. He was also very polite & professional.

    Truly amazing !!

    I really don’t know where to begin with leonard . He was amazing ! He was on time , actually he was early and checked out the venue and knew all the spots that would be perfect before I even got there . My ceremony was outside and it was rather cold and we lost sun light that day and leonard didn’t miss a beat . He knew exactly what to do bc my pictures came out perfect ! Also my nightmare happened about an hour into photos , We lost power!! I was devastated but honestly some of those were my fav pictures that leonard took ! I have no idea how he knew how to handle even a blackout ! But he did ! I’m so thankful I went with him and will keep him in mind for any of my future events !!

    Stunning and extremely friendly NYC based photographer

    My husband and I got married in Brooklyn, New York in Fall 2023. We quickly identified Leonard as our top choice because of his affordable prices and customizable packages. Despite not having the largest budget, Leonard worked with us to create a custom package that included everything we needed.

    We had two different photographers, Leonard and a colleague, and it was the best decision we ever made. We got our photos back in a little over a week, which is an extraordinary turnaround time. All in all, Leonard captured about a thousand shots - all of which were edited and posted to an online gallery. He is also extremely creative and came up with some great poses and locations for some pre-wedding shots.

    We honestly couldn't be happier with our choice. Leonard was great at communicating with us as well, always asking what we wanted to see. He went above and beyond by giving me his coat when it started raining pretty heavily as we walked to our venue, so I'd stay dry. We cannot recommend him enough! Fantastic!

    Dont think Twist, Hire Okpor

    Leonard is an amazing person and a professional in his field. 
    I reached out to Leonard on the knot app,  early 2023  for our Nov. 2023 wedding. He responded quickly to my messages. We arranged a phone meeting. He was able to answer all of my questions and review the packages he offered. 
    He was able to work around my needs. He does offer engagement photos in his packages. That's the time he uses to get to know the couple & make them feel comfortable being photographed for their big day. My Husband and I did not need engagement photos, so we agreed to meet at the end of summer. Leonard spent about 1.5 hours with us that  evening. We reviewed our needs for the wedding day- which moments were most important to us and what not to waste his time on.  I myself am not photogenic, this was one of my main concerns . Leonard reassured me that it wasn't a problem for him.
    On our wedding day Leonard arrived at the church  on time, he set up quickly and was already to go.  During the reception Leonard was effective in taking the traditional family photos, along with all the fun moments- bouquet toss, garter removal, cake cutting, guest dancing ect.

    Truly Phenomenal

    Leo, our photographer, was recommended by my niece, who is a model, and we're absolutely thrilled that we chose him. He skillfully captured our micro wedding on a rainy day, turning the photos into something truly phenomenal. Despite the weather challenges, Leo's kindness and exceptional talent shone through every picture. He not only took numerous shots but also added perfect finishing touches, making the photos extraordinary. We're immensely pleased and grateful for Leo's work. We highly recommend him and are thankful for the recommendation from my niece.

    That guy! 🩷🩷

    Leo was literally the perfect photographer for our big day. He vibed so well with our entire family as well as our videographer team. He also got our photos back to us, over 700+ photos all edited, within like 2 weeks of our wedding which was crazy fast!! But also SO on brand for him. Leo did our engagement shoot as well and within 48 hours of the shoot he had our photos back to us. Whether it be a freezing March day or a hot, raining, September afternoon, Leo is your guy!!!

    A pleasant addition to our wedding day

    Leonard became a friend as much as our photographer on our special day. He was professional and thorough. The photos are beautiful. But most importantly, he made my guests feel at ease. They felt he was another guest instead of an intrusion. I have been to many weddings where the photographer is pushy and bosses around the day. He was there when we needed him, followed my directions and gave us space at the right time.

    Leo brought life to my vision

    We had an intimate elopement in the park. Leo was such a pleasure to work with from our initial conversation to him providing our edited pictures a week early. He captured the essence of the day and elevated our vision. Love all the pictures, like am having the hardest time deciding which ones to print.

    Top tier wedding photographer

    Working with Leo was incredibly easy and fun. He was super accommodating of our requests, quick to respond via text, and a true professional when it came to our wedding day. The photos came out beautifully and he seemed to capture every meaningful moment perfectly. I honestly don’t know how he was able to get so many different shots, each captured with artistic flare and care. His turn around time was also very impressive; editing 952 photos in just 7 days is quite a feat! His prices are also very fair, and he did not try to upsell us with unnecessary additions to the contract. We are so glad we chose Leo for our wedding photography needs.

    Leonard is fantastic

    After a few other photographers tried to upcharge me thousands of dollars for a wedding photography package, I felt like I’d never find a professional photographer who would listen to my vision and be able to execute on it.

    In planning my wedding I learned that most vendors only listen long enough until they figure out how to pull emotional cords and then dip into my pockets. It's disgusting.

    This happened with venues, florists and photographers.

    Then I messaged Leonard. He got back to me within the hour and we were able to talk through my wants and needs and settle on a contract that was fair and equitable for both of us.

    I didn't need a music video of my wedding produced by a videographer. I'm not famous and didn't need tens of thousands of shots from a team of photographers. I wanted the ceremony captured in pictures, along with wedding party photos and some candids of our guests during the cocktail hour - some great shots I could post on my social accounts and something to include along with this year's Christmas card.

    Leonard was fully committed to this. He arrived early, set up, and began shooting. He got amazing shots of us getting ready, the ceremony, the wedding party, the guests, everything. And his turnaround time was only 8 days.

    I could not recommend Leonard enough.

    Exceeded all expectations

    Leonard did my wedding photos and they came out fantastic! I highly recommend him to everyone. I frequently work with photographers at my job and I had high expectations. Leonard exceeded all of them! He communicated clearly and frequently before the wedding, his pricing is transparent, he accommodated for a last minute change, he showed up early and prepared. He moved quickly during the shoot. We (bride and groom) had to leave an hour early and I was concerned Leonard would not have enough time to get quality shots but like I said, he exceeded all expectations! The photos were delivered ahead of schedule and I received many more than I expected.

    Very pleased

    Leonard did an excellent job with our wedding. He quoted a fair price for pre-event and event photos. Leonard was punctual and diligent throughout the event. Unfortunately we were rained out for the pre-event location, but Leonard went above and beyond by scheduling an additional photo shoot at a later date. He delivered the photos quickly and we are very pleased with the result.

    Amazing Photographer

    Leonard is an amazing photographer. He showed up to my wedding on time and was very professional. I didn’t feel awkward or uncomfortable for him to be photographing me. I felt like I have known him for years.

    Professional, he was available and alert to capture every moment, no matter how big or small or insignificant I thought it was.

    He is very flexible and accommodating. He had packages/plans that didn’t fit my budget or what I was looking for at my wedding. But we worked together and made it happen. I am glad I chose him.

    I would definitely hire him again without hesitation and recommend him to family and friends.

    Above and Beyond

    Leonard was amazing. Besides his amazing eye, attention to detail, and mindfulness - he's an amazing person. He is present and captures the key moments when everything is happening too quickly and everyone is all over the place. his portraits are also awesome - he's got a way to bring out everyone's true self. Thank You!

    A Master Photographic Storyteller

    When we were searching for our wedding photographer, we discovered Leonard Okpor's portfolio through his website. We were immediately struck by his amazing talent for storytelling. After our consultation with Leonard, we knew that he was the photographer for our special day. Upon meeting him (and his assistant we requested) on the day of our wedding, not only were they consummate professionals, but they were an an absolute joy to work with. Some of the things that especially stand out about Leonard's photography are his use of natural lighting and his keen eye for composition. He also took the time to genuinely connect with us as the bride and groom and our loved ones. This, particularly, helped ease the stress of the day. The package we purchased is very affordable for what services are included, and he even customized certain options with us. Communication was outstanding, too. Turnaround time was surprisingly quick at only 2 weeks. The quality of the final photos were absolutely spectacular! Highly recommended.

    Wow! Amazing

    Married 03/18/2023 & planned in four months, Okpur was my THIRD photographer/videographer. My first two was severely unresponsive. I was in touch with Okpur from November up until my wedding. I hired Okpur and his team a week before my wedding due to issues with my others. Okpur was super professional, responsive, polite, and his work is OUTSTANDING!!! I sooooo enjoyed having him and his team at my wedding and he made the whole experience easy!!! I regret not hiring him in November - I wouldve had a much less stressful experience. I am so pleased to refer him to anyone and everyone. Not only was his work and his presence amazing - his prices were very reasonable for a wedding in New York! Thank you so much Okpur & Team for making things easy and pleasant for me. I will definitely hire if I ever need services again.

    Leonard is patient, friendly and takes breathtaking photos

    My (now) husband and I got married in December in Central Park and Leonard happily faced the cold weather to photograph our big day. Wow, I can’t recommend Leonard enough - in an overwhelming and often intimidating haze of wedding photographers to choose from, Leonard was patient, friendly, and so on top of things.

    Leonard took photos of our morning ceremony at Cop Cot in Central Park as well as our portraits afterward around the city. I was worried that taking time out of our day to take some extra photos around the city would detract from the magic of the day but Leonard made the experience fun, easy, and exciting. He professionally and beautifully captured our love for each other and our love for New York City. His photos are truly enchanting.

    I hope I don’t get married again but if I did, I wouldn’t 100 percent use Leonard.

    Lifesaver! Book leonard you will not regret it professional friendly high quality

    Our original photgrapher bailed on us near to the wedding date. By some miracle I found Leonard and when I contacted him it was IMMEDIATELY GOOD VIBES. He was kind, didnt take advantage of our predicament and he was so professional!!! He helped us find a new videographer. He was EXTRA RESPONSIVE, had a video call and emails with us and even OFFERED TO SCOUT OUT the wedding shoot locations to allay our concerns and figure out timing and ensure he carried the right equipment. Honestly by the end he was like a member of the family. He was skillful at destressing capturing all the moments we wanted, didnt miss a thing. He skillfully navidated 3 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS (4 if u count the limo) His pricing was very reasonable for what he provided. He also upon final delivery after edits etc he gave us a surprise gift out of the goodness of his heart!!!! Just a phenomenal experience.

    Leonard is absolutely amazing to work with. He’s very good at what he does, makes you feel comfortable and beautiful in every picture. My husband and I hired him for our wedding and he was a very quick responder, as well as kind and easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend him as your photographer and will be hiring him again in the future!

    Simply amazing

    We chose a package that worked for us.

    We did our engagement photos in Brooklyn Bridge Park and I was speechless when I received them.

    My forever photos are amazing.

    Our wedding photos tells a story. I love story that I am glad he captured. The photos captured family and friends enjoying good music and company.

    The turnaround time was pretty quick as well.

    I will definitely recommend him to others.

    I did find other photographers with packages that would of been a little more cost friendly but I’m glad I went with him.

    If you get what you pay for, then he did his job and more.

    Thanks again Leonard.

    Very Professional

    Leonard was very professional and punctual. He was super flexible with the wedding day that I chose and a very good listener as to what I wanted. I was not able to take wedding photos due to the pandemic but this year all thanks to Leonard he made it possible. Thank you Leonard so much for the beautiful photos. I can now have photos of my special moment.

    Great Photographer

    We were lucky to find Leonard Okpor to photograph our wedding. From our initial conversations, Leonard listened to our requests and our vision for our wedding. We asked him to take lots of candid pictures and to capture the essence of our friends and family during our ceremony and reception. He was prompt to provide a contract outlining the services and asking great questions about our event and ensuring he understood our vision. Leonard came to our venue on time to familiarize himself with the venue and to find great spots to take our pictures. Leonard has a great personality. He is friendly and funny and all of our guests loved his ability to immerse himself in the event and capture our special day. I wish we had more time to take more pictures. We had a great day with him and we were so happy we had found him. Leonard stayed for the length of time that we had agreed upon. On top of the great photography services he provided, Leonard surprised us by delivering the professional pictures in less than a week after our wedding! Wow. We were so happy to get the pictures back so quickly. And of course, we love the final result. Thank you so much Leonard for being a part of our special day. We would absolutely recommend Leonard to any couple looking for a committed professional photographer who provides great services for a more than reasonable price

    Great Experience and Photos!

    The photographer was early to the venue (I was there from 11AM setting up, and appreciated him there to walk through the program), was kind, courteous, professional, and had ideas about what we could do to get the best photos. For four hours we received over 500 shots that really captured the spirit of our wedding.

    Beyond a Photographer

    Honestly when it comes to taking photos i have never seen an individual who can coordinate a session and takes such great photos that almost needs to retouching. He was on time, he worked with us and even offered to help outside his work delegation, he felt more like a family and gave an authentic experience. His cost are reasonable and he is always willing to work out a package with you. I highly recommend him and hope you also give him a try.

    nice guy, not a great photographer

    TL;DR: Choosing Leonard as our wedding photographer was a huge mistake, and two years later, I still regret it.

    While he's such a kind person, his professionalism and execution were severely lacking. He arrived at our wedding in a white sweater, sneakers, and a durag—completely inappropriate. It’s common knowledge that you don’t wear white to a wedding unless you are the bride or the groom, and that you don’t wear sneakers or a durag (or anything else that’s meant for sleep) to a formal event. All of our other vendors wore suits or all black formalwear. As the most visible vendor, his outfit was an eyesore, ruining our footage of key moments. I really wish that he understood how important it is to represent the couple well. We now attend events and say things like “this is what a photographer supposed to wear”… I mean we’re traumatized.

    More importantly, the photos were simply bad. Key details were missed—all the photos look overly posed and stiff, my husband had no solo shots, there were no venue detail shots, and family members had eyes closed/unready facial expressions with no proper retakes. I don’t think he took the time to scope out photo-worthy places even though Dumbo has a ton of them. Instead, he took us to random spots in our hotel, one of which had the ugliest carpet I’ve ever seen but I tried to trust the process. We have very few photos in front of the iconic Dumbo bridge, and it was barely visible in a lot of the photos.

    My dress’s hanger strings were hanging out for 90% of my photos, and it wasn’t until someone at my wedding called out that they’ve been sticking out that I noticed it- and they were never edited out from the photos. I had to hire Photoshop expert to remove the strings so I can try to salvage some of them.

    I hate that I even felt the need to review this late, but another anniversary rolling around where I don’t have nice photos to post on social or display in our home, has reminded me that another bride shouldn’t deal with this. It has kept me up many nights. You only get married once and these photos get passed on for generations, I wish I truly understood that when I was making this decision. I underestimated the importance of hiring a skilled, dedicated wedding photographer. Leonard may be talented in street photography, but weddings require a different eye, attention to detail, and a sense of professionalism that he lacked. If you take anything from this review, it’s to invest in a wedding photographer who truly understands the responsibility of capturing and being a part of your big day.

    Leonard Okpor Photography's reply:

    LAURA AND RONALD’S WEDDING
    Honestly speaking, I do feel genuinely sorry. Knowing my presence and work left such bad taste has truly been concerning and as you said no one should go through this. It is important to vet your vendors and make sure they are very compatible to your vision and what you have planned (A clear plan). Truly I had little information to work with and even with the wedding planning sheet provided no specific request was made. You do blame me for almost everything for not being a proper/professional wedding photographer, but there was no first look, no ceremony, no bridal party (best man or maid of honor), no wedding coordinator, no first dance, dance with parent, no MC, bouquet toss, cake cutting and most traditional wedding activities, I shadowed you both all through and captured so many candid moments. I understand most couples will want something different which is excellent but it also comes with looking very different from others. It was mostly the wedding reception dinner and dance activities. Overall, there is much more because I can’t take photos of what don’t exist or plans not made, communicated or coordinated. Looking as it was my first 2 years working as a wedding photographer, definitely I was not perfect and still not perfect, but in no way shape or form will I intentionally act to ruin a special day. I have covered over 100 weddings and my clients are always satisfied because they feel very comfortable working with me and I go beyond to provide satisfactory service in my own way and with information presented. It is also very important to leave reviews when dissatisfied to hold vendors accountable and help others make informed decisions. Over the years I have grown to be much better and well equipped and have continued to work relentlessly to making lovely wedding photography stories that are satisfactory




    DRESSING: I do take fault on how my dressing affected your day, I did make a wrong call on having a durag which was essentially meant to protect my braids and not to cause distraction to your special day as we were going between locations (Hotel, Brooklyn Bridge and the venue). I always have sneakers on or professional booths when working since I am moving 4-12 hours (or more) and they are always presentable even when durable for the day. I apologize and have apologized as I understand how this can be an issue

    PHOTO DETAILS:
    Before the wedding, I did provide a wedding planning sheet to better understand the details of your wedding, you had no wedding party, coordinator, ceremony or specific details and I had to work with what was available as I believed you both were going for something much simple.
    I took a lot of Posed and candid photos, the quality photos taken were nothing less than all my past and present works which I believe you went through and were satisfied with before choosing to work with me. Your husband was very stiff, when I observed on several occasions I tried to lighten the mood, I went to him, pointed it out, his suit was tight, I changed position and location to give variations and options. He wasn’t talking, he was very stiff with little steps, the poses were nothing extreme or overly posing. We met at the hotel, I scoped abound and took very lovely photos there (I can’t work with what doesn’t exist in the hotel), I showed you both as we progressed, if at any point you didn’t like the photos you would have pointed it out. But all through you both were very happy (As I will leave the link for others to view as necessary). The photos of the Bridge, we started at a very famous spot, we went to the second spot and after that you wanted to leave because it was almost 7pm. If I had more time I would have captured much more
    When you complained about your dress hanger string which was last year (1 year after) I offered to take them out as I didn’t observe it due to your veil covering your dress, your husband was with you also and he didn’t see it. I was very much focused on taking the front for you both. You refused my offer and instantly asked me to delete all the photos from all my platforms and social media, it was hard but I felt if it will give you some comfort that is fine. I deleted it all and now again
    Almost all photos of family had duplicates, they were also clear and eyes open and I even used 2 cameras to get some extra shots especially during dancing. I will leave the link for viewing also
    There was no detailed shot of the venue because we got there and everyone was seated. Guests arrived 6:00pm and we arrived 7pm,I arrived your hotel at 5:07 and was with you both till we got to the venue together, there was no time also no visible details set aside to be captured. Also it was a restaurant with tight sitting arrangement and glass view. 60 guests in the restaurant
