Yvonne Venegas explores the rules and accidents of wedding photography, probably the social use of intimate imagery that is most symbolically charged.

Special Days is the result of the rescue of images from the archive of Venegas Fotografía Fina, a studio that her father José Luis established in Tijuana, Baja California, in 1972. The younger photographer reveals the routines that came to define the iconography of the emergent middle class who lived in this border city in the 1970s and 1980s, appropriating a set of images that, by breaking the photographer's social contract with his subjects, offer us a fleeting, fragmentary viewpoint.
