Adolfo Perales and Clementina Ortega Perales

The picture shows Adolfo Perales and Clementina Ortega Perales on their wedding in 1947. The image was colored. It was taken by the Casasola Photograh Studio, which took pictures of many El Pasoans to capture special events like weddings. Alfonso Casasola, a member of a famous family of Mexican photographers, came to El Paso in the 1920s after several years in the Mexican consular service. He established the Casasola Studio (also known by its Spanish name, Estudio Casasola) at 511 S. El Paso Street and was active in many civic organizations. He died on February 17, 1948 at the age of 59, but his wife, Emma Flores Casasola, continued the studio for many years.
