“We knew as soon as we set foot in Housing Works Bookstore Cafe in SoHo that we wanted to be married there. It’s located in a gorgeous New York townhouse on a classic cobblestone street. The bookstore space was everything we wanted: intimate, romantic, and, best of all, filled with books.” (via Manhattan Wedding from Olya Vysotskaya Photography | Style Me Pretty)
Gorgeous photos of a gorgeous couple getting married in the bookstore! (More info on Housing Works weddings and rentals here.)
