I have a super-duper lovely couple featuring on the blog today. They are Starly & Ryan from Toronto captured by the fantastic Calculated Style Photography. And I am super lucky as I get to show you both their quirky engagement shoot set in Toronto Public library as well as their elegant wedding.
Aron Goss of Calculated Style Photography shared his thoughts behind the library setting for their engagement shoot “I hope the library is not a thing of the past. I have so many memories of walking to my neighbourhood library as a kid.
* Learning the Dewey Decimal System
* Having a librarian read a story to you and a handful of other children
* Being shocked when they started renting cassette tapes, then MOVIES!
* Taking a book home with you and not having to pay a dime…until it was overdue
The library was probably the first real membership you had as a kid. Getting that first library card was as good as a drivers license back then. This was long before the Internet and the library had all the answers. It has been years since I have stepped back into a library but the sights, smells and lack of sounds brought all the memories back.
While Starly and Ryan didn’t meet in a library, it seemed somewhat fitting that such an old school location could celebrate such a comfortable, old school love. We finished off the shoot at their condo, taking advantage of some amazing amenities.”
Starly has also shared with me a lot of the details behind her big day, which was planned in just 6 months, so do call back tomorrow to check it out.
