You need to compare the different parts. Something line this, I don’t know the exact code here so getting the month in each case is just a guess on my part.

$start_month = $start_date->format('F');
$end_month = $end_date->format('F');
if ($start_month == $end_month)) {
  // output July 12-13, 2020
} else {
  // output July 12 - August 3, 2020
}

I would probably also make this more complicated, comparing years as well because you might have an event that goes from Dec of one year into Jan of the next.

if ($start_year == $end_year) {
  if ($start_month == $end_month) {
    // output July 12-13, 2020
  } else {
    // output July 12 - August 3, 2020
  }
} else {
  // output Dec 30, 2019 - Jan 3, 2020
}
