Wedding Photography & Cinematography at Sheraton Universal
333 Universal Hollywood Dr, Universal City, CA 91608
The Sheraton Universal — the 'Hotel of the Stars' — has anchored the Valley's big Persian and Jewish weddings for generations, with ballroom capacity, tower views and studio-adjacent glamour minutes from everywhere in the Valley.
Frames from ConneryFilm weddings across Los Angeles. Close, people-first coverage — the same approach we bring to Sheraton Universal.
Hotel-scale coverage runs the full arc here: suites for getting ready, ballroom program at night, and the tower's upper floors for skyline portraits. A dependable, generous room that photographs better than its modesty suggests.

Common questions
When is the best light for photos at Sheraton Universal?
High-floor windows give Valley-light getting-ready coverage. 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.
Is Sheraton Universal a difficult venue to photograph?
Ballroom warm uplighting flatters every skin tone — request it. We light and expose for that deliberately — fast glass and careful metering — rather than flattening the room with on-camera flash.
Where do the couple's portraits happen at Sheraton Universal?
Universal's hilltop means dusk exterior frames with real depth. We scout the exact spots beforehand, so the session takes minutes rather than an hour — you get the frames without disappearing from your own wedding.
Do you travel to Universal City?
Yes — Universal City is inside our regular coverage area and there is no separate travel charge for it. ConneryFilm has worked across Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange County and the Inland Empire for 17 years, covering ceremonies in English, Persian, Armenian and Spanish.
How do we check our date at Sheraton Universal?
Call or text (818) 749-7039, or send your date through the enquiry form. Every wedding is quoted individually — we ask about your venue timeline, which rituals you want covered and how many hours you need before quoting anything.
