Joe and Essie (Daw) Ayoub
The image shows Joe and Essie (Daw) Ayoub on their wedding day while they are cutting their cake. It has four levels and is topped with a miniature version of the couple and a heart. The dress of the bride is beautifully decorated with lace. The picture was taken in 1952 by the Casasola Photograph Studio. 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.
