The perfect wedding day that each couple deserves
In my 20 years as a wedding photographer, few celebrations have been this perfect from start to finish. This El Paso Country Club Wedding was a stunning event. Every moment flowed beautifully. There was no stress or incident. That’s exactly what each couple deserves on their wedding day. This is definitely one of my all-time favorite weddings!
The day began with Cristina and her bridesmaids sharing heartfelt words. Each friend took turns telling Cristina why they loved her – a truly touching scene to photograph.
Cristina then gave her mom a love note, which brought tears to her mother’s eyes. This quiet exchange showed their deep bond.
First Look: Cristina and her dad
The first look with her dad was just as moving. I caught the exact moment when her father saw her in her wedding dress. His eyes welled up. This showed how close they are.

The Ceremony: Pure Emotion
The wedding ceremony was at Westside Community Church, Alonso’s face lit up as Cristina walked down the aisle. His expression was pure joy and awe, the real reaction, photographers dream of capturing.
Stunning El Paso Country Club Wedding Portraits
The El Paso Country Club provided a perfect backdrop for the couple’s portraits. Their natural chemistry made my job easy! Golden light washed over them. The club’s beautiful grounds lay behind them. We created images that truly show who they are.
The Franklin Mountains made a stunning backdrop, especially when the sky turned pink at sunset. This rare light show added a touch of El Paso magic to their wedding photos.
A Reception to Remember
When wedding coordinator Laura Almodovar revealed the ballroom, the couple was speechless. Every detail was perfect. Everything from the elegant table settings to the personalized “corazon” neon sign was exceptional. It was a nod to Cristina’s nickname for Alonso.
The night continued with dancing and celebration. Friends and family filled the dance floor, creating memories that will last forever.
For the final night portrait, I used the star-filled El Paso sky as a backdrop. The El Paso Country Club is ideal for night photography, and the result was stunning.
