BOUND BY COTTON STITCHES

Softly cut panels of imagination lie in wait to be joined in harmony to create something unique, something exquisite. Ribbon and twine, lace with a delicate nature, all become bound by caring precise stitches to mingle on a fabric playground.

As moulded buttons follow spinal lines while sculpted pearls caress the curves of the neck, moments of nostalgia surface in playful waves. Times passed are caught and brought forward to be cherished and remembered as they are held in a refreshing embrace of cradled gloved palms.

BECKY + DANNY GET MARRIED {CANADA}

James Melia — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:34:17 +0000

Leave the chaos, forget the sounds, empty your lungs of recycled air and enter into a world filled with wonder and awe. A mesmerizing beauty of carpeted lands and cloaked trees. So pure in their simplicity yet binding in their intrinsic complexity.

Snowflakes dance in the fresh air as they softly fall to the ground. While some collide with the unexpected warmth of bare skin, others settle on a jacket that bares a single red rose.

An infinite space to hold the laughter, the joy and the love that was shared and experienced in limitless quantities, and the genuine honesty in every gesture.

The landscape holds this moment in a resonating embrace.

You know that moment when everything seems to slow down, almost to stop. Even when there is chaos going on there seems to be a stillness…

The night before the wedding, Danny, the husband to be said to me…. “Have you been outsite on your balcony?”

“No….”

“Well you should, there isn’t a sound, you can’t hear anything.

This is one of the things that I’ll rememeber the most about this wedding. The stillness

When the moment came for Becky & Danny to say their “I do’s”, it was then that there was a stillness. A moment that it didn’t matter it was minus thirty and we were all outside. It certainly didn’t matter to Becky as this was one of the biggest moments of her life.
