El Paso High This couple asked to shoot their formal photos at El Paso High. Since we would be there later in the day, about 5pm, I figured there wouldn't be as many people as usual, but we still had to wait about 15 minutes to use the main columns as backdrops. Since it was dark by 530, it was necessary to light up the couple with my lights. ***I don't usually recommend El Paso High on a normal Saturday afternoon because there is only one real stage to set up (as opposed to most parks where we can move around) and we photographers usually allow the better part of an hour to each photographer to shoot their event. This means at least an hour wait before the next party can go up to the steps to shoot. I have seen a 3 party line at El Paso High.
