Overview
The old wing of the Cleveland Public Library is a fantastic indoor photo location option in downtown Cleveland. The marble staircase and Renaissance design provide a beautiful old-world feel. The courtyard between the old and new wing also offers some urban greenery and interesting architecture that can be useful for photos on a wedding day or engagement session.
UPDATE: As of the fall of 2023, the Library has begun keeping a list of bridal parties how have called ahead for a time slot and is “recommending” a cash donation of $50, to be paid right there on the spot.
