Swansons in the Mountains

Josiah and Lauren Duggar have been married almost four months. In celebration of fall, they took a trip to North Carolina with the Swansons. Look at those beautiful colors! If you've ever been to the that part of the country during autumn, you know how gorgeous it is. I (Ellie) visited the Smoky Mountains last November, and the scenery was unmatched.

For those wondering, the family's photographers were Jon and Jennifer Courville out of Charlotte, North Carolina.
