If you’re planning a La Caille wedding in Utah, Crystal and Colby’s romantic celebration is a beautiful example of how this European-inspired venue truly comes to life. From the iconic stone bridge entrance to golden hour portraits in the gardens and a candlelit reception under twinkle lights, their day showcased why La Caille is one of the most sought-after wedding venues in Utah.
La Caille has a way of transporting you. The moment you drive through the trees and the chateau comes into view, it feels less like Sandy, Utah — and more like the French countryside. That timeless, European magic set the tone for Crystal and Colby’s wedding from the very beginning.
From the minute I arrived, I could feel how grounded and steady their love was. Crystal was tucked away in the bridal suite surrounded by warm light and even warmer energy. Colby carried that same calm excitement just steps away. There’s a quiet steadiness between them — the kind that says, we’ve been choosing each other long before today.
The Setting: A European-Style Chateau Wedding Venue in Utah
La Caille never disappoints, but on this day it truly showed off. The gardens were lush and green, the chateau walls glowed in the late-afternoon light, and guests crossed the iconic stone bridge with that unmistakable “wow” moment the venue always gives.
For couples looking for a luxury wedding venue in Utah, La Caille offers something rare: mountain views, vineyard charm, and old-world architecture all in one place.
Their ceremony took place with the Wasatch Mountains rising behind them and the sound of the fountain drifting through the air. As Crystal walked down the aisle, Colby’s reaction was everything — not dramatic, not showy, just real emotion breaking through. The kind of moment you can’t manufacture.
Personal Vows on the Vineyard Lawn
Crystal and Colby wrote their own vows, and it felt like listening to two people who had truly grown together. They spoke about the little things — shared routines, inside jokes — and the big things: choosing patience, partnership, and each other every day.
There were tears in the crowd… and behind the camera too.
One of the things I love most about photographing a La Caille wedding ceremony is how intimate it feels despite the grandeur of the setting. The space holds both elegance and softness at the same time.
Golden Hour Portraits at La Caille
After the ceremony, we wandered to the paths behind the chateau where the light filters through the trees like something out of a film.
Golden hour at La Caille is unmatched. The gardens, vineyard rows, and chateau doors create endless portrait opportunities — whether you want something editorial and refined or quiet and romantic.
Some of my favorite images from the day came from that slow walk, when they finally had a breath to simply be together.
If you’re getting married at La Caille, I always recommend building intentional time into your timeline for portraits in:
The solarium
The Chateau
The vineyard rows
The garden pathways at sunset
Reception Under the Twinkle Lights
Their reception felt like stepping into an evening garden party in the French countryside. Bistro lights overhead, candles glowing on every table, and joyful noise filling the solarium.
La Caille’s solarium reception space is one of its most iconic features. The glass ceiling, surrounding greenery, and warm lighting create a setting that feels both elevated and intimate — especially as the evening sets in.
Their first dance was slow and intentional, full of soft smiles. Then the party truly began. Crystal and Colby were in the middle of it all — laughing, spinning, soaking in every second.
