Punxsutawney Phil was right after all. The Groundhog Day star saw his shadow earlier this month, officially declaring six more weeks of winter. And despite our high hopes that Phil was wrong and spring was just around the corner—fueled by the recent uptick in temps and glorious glimpses of sunny blue skies—sure enough, old man winter returned this week to grace us with his snowy presence. The silver lining? All of our fluffy, sugared-powder flurries create a romantic, wonderland-like setting for a February elopement in the mountains.

Pour a cup of something warm and cozy up to this snowy elopement inspiration shoot by Travis J Photography.
