East Mountain Lakes, NJ Indian Wedding by Lightyear Studio

Some weddings are so full of joy, sparkle, and dance-floor energy that they practically narrate themselves—and Gina & Dhaval's celebration was one of those weddings. Set against the lush backdrop of The Mansion at Mountain Lakes and expertly orchestrated by KM Events Management, this celebration was a masterclass in timeless Indian tradition with a modern twist (and a few surprises that had even us clapping from behind the screen).

Let's start with our bride, Gina, whose radiance could rival the morning sun. Her bridal look, enhanced by the talented hands of Tamanna Malik Artistry, was the perfect blend of regal elegance and modern grace. Dhaval, not one to be outshone, made his jaw-dropping entrance looking every bit the dashing dulha in his intricately embroidered sherwani. Together, these two were the definition of #WeddingGoals. The first look was one for the storybooks. Picture a romantic stroll by a lakeside mansion, the breeze catching Gina's dupatta just right, and Dhaval turning around with that smile—yes, that one. We dare you to watch their video without getting teary-eyed (and yes, we are blaming allergies).

The festivities kicked off at Royal Albert's Palace for the sangeet—a night of color, laughter, and choreography that could rival a Bollywood finale. The ceremony, held outdoors at The Mansion at Mountain Lakes, was nothing short of poetic. The floral mandap by Wedding Design & Decor stood majestically under the open sky, draped in soft hues and fragrant blooms, setting the tone for a sacred, heartfelt exchange of vows. The magic continued into the evening, with a reception that felt like walking into a dream—think elegant centerpieces, warm candlelight, and a cake by Creations by Sabrina that looked too pretty to eat (but trust us, it was devoured). But let's talk about the unsung hero who turned this beautiful event into a full-blown celebration—DJ Gaurav Sood.

When we say this man understood the assignment, we mean he aced it with extra credit. From hyping the baraat to setting the tone for every entrance and speech, Gaurav didn't just play music—he created moments. The dance floor? It was never empty. Not once. Even Grandma got in on the action—and stole the show with her moves during "London Thumakda." If you're building a wedding dream team, start with a DJ like this. Lightyear Studio didn't just document Gina & Dhaval's wedding—they told a love story through every frame. With their signature style of cinematic elegance and artistic precision, they managed to capture every stolen glance, every joyful tear, and every confetti-worthy celebration like seasoned storytellers. From the serene, heartfelt ceremony to the high-energy dance floor madness, every moment felt intentional and immersive.

We’re still swooning over Gina & Dhaval’s day—it’s the kind of wedding that dreams are made of.
