Double Wedding of Twins

This is the wedding photograph of the double wedding of twins. From left to right they are: Gene Oxley, Luisa Vasquez Oxley, Lupe Vasquez Duke, Marcus Duke. The brides wear the same dress, decorated with lace and with a long train. The little crowns which fix the veil are different though. Apart from their names, the identities of these people are unknown. The picture was taken by the Casasola Photograph Studio, which captured many El Pasoans, for example on 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.
