The WHERE gets tied to the OPTIONAL MATCH.
If you want the WHERE to apply to the whole thing you need to end the
OPTIONAL with a WITH.
Something like:
MATCH
(n1:Label1)
WHERE
(n1.propertyA = {param1})
OPTIONAL MATCH
(n1)<-[r:rel1]-(n2:Label2)
WITH n1, r, n2
WHERE
(r IS NULL OR n2.propertyB = {param2})
RETURN
n1;
