Wedding Photography & Cinematography at Metropol Event Venue
701 S Central Ave, Glendale, CA 91204
Metropol is L.A. Banquets' showpiece on South Central — a modern venue whose ballrooms host some of the biggest Armenian and Persian weddings in the county, with staging, lighting and ceiling design built for spectacle.
Frames from ConneryFilm weddings across Los Angeles. Close, people-first coverage — the same approach we bring to Metropol Event Venue.
The room photographs like an awards night: dramatic entrances, spotlit first dances, full-floor party coverage. We plan it like a broadcast — positions for every planned moment — then shoot the unplanned ones, which at Metropol are usually the best.
