Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden Wedding Photographer
270 Arlington Dr, Pasadena, CA 91105
Storrier Stearns is a hidden 1935 Japanese garden in a Pasadena neighbourhood — koi ponds, a teahouse, stone bridges and maple shade, built by master designer Kinzuchi Fujii and restored to National Register standing.
Frames from ConneryFilm weddings across Los Angeles. Close, people-first coverage — the same approach we bring to Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden.
It photographs serene: reflections, filtered light, and ceremonies where the garden's quiet does the emotional work. Coverage stays soft and observational — small crew, long lenses, no intrusion on the stillness.

Maple shade means gentle light most of the day — rare and precious. We build the timeline backwards from that window so your portraits land in the light the venue actually gives, instead of wherever they fall in the running order.
What should our timeline account for at Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden?
The bridge and teahouse are the signature frames; schedule both. We walk the schedule with you (and your coordinator) in advance so nothing important gets compressed on the day.
Anything else worth knowing about shooting at Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden?
Pond reflections at late afternoon are the venue's gift. Intimate capacity suits micro-weddings and elopements best.
