Kayla and Yassine’s Wedding Video at the Allegria Hotel: A Romantic Beachside Celebration in Long Beach, NY

There’s something incredibly cinematic about a wedding by the ocean—and Kayla and Yassine’s wedding at the Allegria Hotel in Long Beach, New York, was the perfect example of how natural beauty and thoughtful planning can come together to create unforgettable memories on film.

From the moment our videographer Saul arrived at the sleek and modern Allegria Hotel, it was clear that this day was going to be something special. With the Atlantic Ocean just steps away, a golden sky overhead, and a couple glowing with excitement, every moment felt infused with the laid-back elegance of a perfect summer wedding.

Cinematic Moments by the Sea

What makes this wedding video so memorable is the way Kayla and Yassine embraced the location. Rather than staying confined to the ballroom or hotel interiors, they made the inspired decision to step out onto the beach and boardwalk for their video shoot.

That choice paid off beautifully.

With waves crashing gently in the background, wind lifting Kayla’s veil just slightly, and the couple framed against the endless sky, we were able to capture timeless romantic moments that feel straight out of a film. These aren’t just beautiful shots—they’re memories frozen in time, and they reflect the atmosphere of the day in a way that no indoor footage ever could.

If you’re getting married at a beachside venue like the Allegria, we highly recommend carving out time in your schedule to step outside. Even just 20–30 minutes of beach footage can completely transform your final wedding film.

Getting Ready at the Allegria Hotel

The day began in two separate suites at the Allegria Hotel. With natural light flooding the rooms and the ocean visible from the windows, Saul and the photo team captured the couple’s finishing touches, candid moments with family, and quiet anticipation before the ceremony.

Kayla had a sweet first look with her father just before heading out to the beach, and these heartfelt moments—paired with the sweeping ocean views—helped set the tone for the video: emotional, elegant, and personal.

Meanwhile, Yassine’s getting-ready footage included subtle but meaningful moments with his groomsmen and family. We always aim to balance artistic visuals with intimate, unscripted moments, and this wedding offered plenty of both.

A Sunset Ceremony Overlooking the Ocean

With guests seated and the sky beginning to shift into golden hour, Kayla and Yassine exchanged vows during an outdoor ceremony that overlooked the shoreline. From the groom’s mic’d vows to the soft sounds of live music captured through a dedicated audio recorder, every element was carefully documented by Saul and our team.

Although this was a 1 shooter video job, we always use multiple cameras for the ceremony, thus, we were able to capture a seamless multi-angle recording. The result is a smooth, polished ceremony edit that includes clear audio, beautiful composition, and full coverage of the couple’s vows, ring exchange, and joyful recessional.

Cocktail Hour + Reception Energy

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour while the couple briefly regrouped. The reception kicked off in classic Allegria style—with a grand entrance, emotional parent dances, and a dance floor that stayed packed all night long.

Throughout the reception, Our talented videographer captured a combination of wide shots of the room (including table settings and lighting) and close-up moments like toasts, laughter, and spontaneous dances. The couple’s selected music played a key role in editing their highlight reel—starting with “In Case You Didn’t Know” by Brett Young and flowing into a carefully curated mix of acoustic, romantic, and upbeat tracks that matched the evening’s vibe.

A standout moment from the night? Kayla’s outfit change before the cake cutting. The reveal, combined with their Marvel-themed dessert surprise and a custom painting unveiling, gave us the perfect ending to a highly personalized and visually dynamic wedding film.

Final Thoughts

Kayla and Yassine’s Allegria Hotel wedding was a masterclass in how to blend elegance, location, and personality into a cohesive wedding video. From the beach portraits to the sunset ceremony and late-night celebration, this film will forever preserve the joy, style, and spirit of their day.

To any couple planning a wedding at a waterfront venue like the Allegria: step outside, take a breath, and let the light do its magic. A few windswept moments by the ocean may become the most unforgettable frames in your entire video.
