A wedding at the Cortez Ballrooms

JOSIE + AARON 

The union of Josie and Aaron at the Cortez Ballrooms was a true testament to love and history intertwining. As a wedding photographer, I couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque setting to capture their special day. The elegance and charm of the Cortez provided the perfect backdrop for their love story to unfold.

From the couple: 

We love El Paso so much and we really wanted to celebrate our love in our favorite part of town – Downtown, El Paso! It only made sense to pick St. Patrick Cathedral and the Cortez Ballroom because of the history, beauty and significance of both.

From the couple:

The Cortez is a true gem! There are so many details to admire both inside and outside of the building. From the moment you walk in, you’re captivated by its beauty. It’s the most romantic setting for a wedding. Our guests loved being able to experience it and celebrate in a building that has been a big part of El Paso history.

From the couple:

We loved every moment of our big day! As a COVID couple that had to postpone our wedding, it was such a great feeling to see our family and friends together in the same place for the first time in a long time. We loved that our initial reunion with our guests was at mass because it made that moment all that more special. Our priest, Father Matta, went above and beyond to make our mass sweet and personal, so we felt right at home with all of our loved ones surrounding us. It was even sweeter to continue the reunion on the dance floor later that night!
