This wedding at Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake City was seriously something special. If you like a romantic, classy garden wedding venue with a vintage twist — and maybe a greenhouse dinner party straight out of a movie — you’re going to love this one.

A Ceremony Straight Out of a Fairytale:
The ceremony took place in the middle of the gardens, surrounded by blooming flowers, mountain views, and the most peaceful, magical vibe. It was classy but so personal, with just the right amount of vintage vibe. The bride looked incredible in her vintage thrifted dress (and wait until you see her shoes), and the whole thing felt like stepping into an old film — in the best way.

Reception in the Greenhouse? Yes Please.
Okay, let’s talk about this greenhouse reception. It was dreamy. Long tables, candles, greenery everywhere — it felt like an intimate dinner party in a jungle. There’s just something about that space… cozy, romantic, and unlike anything else in Salt Lake City. If you’re looking for a unique venue that’s equal parts natural and elegant, Red Butte’s greenhouse is a total hidden gem.

One of my favorite parts of the day was the mix of cultures and energy between the bride’s big, vibrant Filipino family and the groom’s American one. The Filipino traditions brought so much life and celebration to the evening — from emotional toasts to spontaneous dancing and laughter that didn’t stop all night. You could feel the joy in every moment. These two families coming together made the whole day feel so full of love.

The styling of this wedding was perfection. Vintage touches were everywhere and so them — from the bride’s look to the antique-style signage, soft florals, and textured details. It was classic, intentional, and so so JoAn and Canon. If you love that old-soul, romantic vibe, this wedding is going to give you all the inspiration.

Red Butte Garden is honestly one of my favorite places to photograph in Salt Lake City. Between the mountain views, the ever-changing blooms, and the greenhouse (!!), it’s kind of a photographer’s dream. Plus, the layout makes it super easy for guests to enjoy both ceremony and reception without a big transition. Golden hour here? Unreal and highly recommend.
