Sofia and Osley's beautiful traditional Catholic #wedding at Saint Joseph in Tampa #tampaharpist

I was so honored when Sofia asked me to play for her wedding. I first met Sofia and Osley at theRock the Ranch Experience at the gorgeous Rocking H Ranch in Lakeland, Florida. The wedding took place at Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Tampa Florida. The ceremony and mass were so beautiful and complete with an organist and choir! The music director and I did a harp/flute duet of “Ave Maria” (see a small video clip below).  I had such a great time playing with Alex.  We even played a couple songs together before the ceremony started. The ceremony was en Español which I really enjoyed.  Even though I couldn’t understand much of the ceremony (I REALLY need to practice and learn more Spanish!!), I was able to focus on the passion and emotion in the ceremony. During the ceremony, the couple greeted their family and friends.  It was a brief moment where the ceremony paused so the couple could hug and recognize their guests.  I LOVED this!! I found this to be really special since they were able to include everyone in the ceremony. I also especially enjoyed the music of the choir! Sofia looked absolutely breath-taking!  Sofia and Osley had THE perfect wedding ceremony and I’m so glad to have been a part of it!!  I wish the couple a lifetime of love, faith, and happiness!  ¡¡¡¡Felicidades!!!!  Click or tab on the photo below to start the slideshow!
