    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.

    Book your photos with him now!

    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

    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! Jack & Joe

    Very professional

    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 !!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    I am so glad that I found Leo! He was professional, super quick to respond, answered all my questions and was such a charm to work with. He captured beautiful moments and listen to exactly what I wanted. He is organized and a lovely person!!!!

    Will be using his services over and over again!
    Leo, you are amazing!!! Thank you for everything!!

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Amazing Photography!

    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!
