The Ruins at Kellum Valley Farm Wedding Photographer | Nick + Nicole

1 Comment

The Ruins at Kellum Valley Farm Wedding Photographer Wearing the most perfect crisp white ball gown, laced with details from her sweet momma’s wedding dress, Nicole took a deep breath, and stood before her bridesmaids.  Their eyes were shut tight as they waiting for the moment when they could see their best friend for very first time as a bride.  Squeals of excitement filled the room as each lady gazed upon the marvelous sight.  Nicole radiated like none other.  Surrounded in laugher and happy squeals, Nicole sparkled.  Soon after, the whole room began to fill with a sweet song as everyone join in as one accord, singing praises to God for this most special day.  Tears started falling as I gazed upon the sight and soaked it all in.

Each women understood the covenant their best friend was about to make.  It was so much more than a promise of love, decorated in pretty details, and perfected by months of preparation.  Today, two people would stand together and promise to never give up on each other as they chased after Christ.

Nick + Nicole live life vibrantly and intentionally.  Their Wedding was such a beautiful picture of what their relationship has grown to become.  Friends and family stood breathlessly as Nicole made her way down to the man of her dreams, they laughed as Nick shared his vows to Nicole, and they teared up when Nicole sang lyrics to a song that touched Nick’s heart in such a precious way.  The Ruins at Kellum Valley Farm made for the most perfect backdrop to their most special day.  I just LOVE this Georgia Wedding Venue!  It made me always want to be a The Ruins at Kellum Valley Farm Wedding Photographer!!   Not to mention that the copper colored bridesmaid dresses and the beautiful Autumn inspired Wedding details will have you swooning!  Everyone would agree that Nick + Nicole have the most beautiful adventure in store for them!  And I can juuuuuust about bet the blog has NEVER had this many images in one post before!!

Dave 🤎 What a whimsically adventure we are on. W Dave 🤎 
 What a whimsically adventure we are on. Who would have thought that this little life would be ours ? The days are long & the years are short. We are laughing through the heartache & seeking out the good. The ordinary joys that fill our chaotic days are what make us grateful. I’m so thankful for you. You’re are always willing to say “yes”, you are the first to volunteer to put a kid (and simultaneously yourself) to bed, you are relentlessly laidback (even if your wife things urgency is necessary at times), you were made for music, you desire nothing more out of life than to live it quietly & work with your hands, you’re witty & loyal & simple & kind.

The more we do life together, the more I see how we are velcroed together. Choosing each other, day by day, has made us whole. Even when the waves of life crash over us & knock the breath out of us, I always come up for air, looking for you. You’re my safe place. You’re home.

You’re so many things… but my favorite thing is that you’re mine. Happy birthday, Dave the babe✨🫶🏻
Well hello there ☀️   2026 has had the sweetest a Well hello there ☀️  

2026 has had the sweetest and slowest start.   The kids are praying for snow days, Dave is building garden beds (eeeekkk!!) and I’m caught up in a new book series.

Photography has already been SO fun.  Last week I spent a few days photographing the @restandplay30A retreat in sunshine-soaked 30A Florida.  It was SO fun connecting with the attendees and being refreshed by the precious reminder that rest and play are necessary.

While at the retreat, I felt the nudge to start blogging again.  
Who remembers when I used to blog each week?! 

At first I brushed it off.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how much I missed the connection and creative outlet blogging offered me.  Writing will always be special for me.  I have journals upon journals to prove it.  But writing in a way that allows for me to connect to others is something that I just can’t shake.

So, I’m posting this online, for the whole world to see.  You can expect at least 12 blog posts from me this year.  I’m hoping for more, but let’s not bite off more than we can chew 😉. Everything ranging from my most favorite photography works to everyday life as a momma of four, to gardening and everything in between.  I cannot wait to meet you over at www.annafilly.com/blog/ 👒♥️🌼

Some of our favorite moments have been ….
Staying up late, picnics at the park & ice cream dates in our pjs. Trips to the pool, adventures at creek & our yearly getaway to the beach have been where everyone’s favorite memories have been made. 

Cheers to summer 2025. You were so sweet to us 🥹🏔️🌸☀️🌊🍦🚲
There truly aren’t words to describe all that the There truly aren’t words to describe all that the last two weeks held for me & my team as we adventured into the heart of Africa. From sharing the liberating love of Jesus to camping in Zambia, every aspect of our trip has left me grateful, joyful & brimming with hope. To know Jesus is to know peace. To know the perfect love of our gracious daddy God is to know who you are in Him. 

I’m so utterly grateful. 🫶🏻🇿🇦

Thank you to my sweet husband for holding down the fort while I was gone. Thank you to my friends who helped with my littles, dropped off food & loved us like family. Thank you to my team for all that we experienced together. Thank you to our mission partners who are literal ANGELS & get to water & care for the seeds that were planted.  What a gift, what a joy. I’m sure I’ll spend weeks processing all that transpired. But for now, here are a few of my favorite moments & memories.
Every single bloom was a labor of love 👒🌸🌻 Each y Every single bloom was a labor of love 👒🌸🌻

Each year the garden has a specific genre. Last year it was how the volunteer Zinnias took over.  This year it’s how the pumpkins have a mind of their own. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But, no matter the genre it’s always magical to watch things grow.

No garden is perfect, but having a garden is so worth it. It’s my first year where I have been in the dirt & seeing the fruit of my labor each & every month. So thankful for all that this year’s garden is teaching me 🌼

I’ve never been more thankful to be their momma th I’ve never been more thankful to be their momma than I am in this moment. Getting a front row seat to their little lives is the greatest gift. We are in the “good ole days” & I am soaking up every minute. It’s hard. There are days where I struggle. But then I’m reminded that that’s the point. My job isn’t to be perfect, my job is to point these little ones to Christ. He is perfect & he is full of liberation & life. What a joy to be their mom. What a gift it is to watch them grow up 🤍

Currently in my feels the day before Lina turns three ! 🥹🫶🏻

Our 2025 beach vacay is in the books !! We are so Our 2025 beach vacay is in the books !! We are so thankful for this time we get together as a family of six (plus our precious, Avery!!). We watched sunrises on the beach, swam, enjoyed time with friends who feel like family & soaked up all the sunshine. What a gift !! Each of the kiddos have grown so much this last year. Watching them in the water amazed me. Judah dared the waterslide without hesitation, Alexander played in the waves with joy, Faith started swimming like a fish & our forever water bug -Lina- continued to be the precious mermaid that’s she is !!

Things I don’t want to forget:
☀️ potty training Alexander the week before vacation & him ROCKING IT
