Janaki & Nikhil’s Multicultural Indian Wedding – A Heartfelt Celebration of Love at Westmount Country Club

Some weddings are so special, they stay with you long after the day has passed. Janaki & Nikhil’s wedding was one of those unforgettable celebrations—an absolutely beautiful blend of vibrant Gujarati and rich Telugu traditions. From the moment we stepped into their world, we knew this wedding was going to be something special. Set at the stunning Westmount Country Club in Woodland Park, NJ, this wedding beautifully brought together two cultures and two families in the most magical way.

A Perfect Blend of Cultures – The Best of Both Worlds

Janaki, with her Gujarati roots, brought in all the color, joy, and playful traditions that define a big fat Gujarati wedding. Nikhil, on the other hand, infused the weekend with the grace and depth of Telugu rituals passed down through generations. Together, their love story unfolded in a way that honored both families and felt truly personal. The wedding was a celebration of cultures, love, and the merging of two incredible families.

From candid moments to breathtaking ceremony shots, it was a privilege to capture the true emotions and vibrant energy that made this celebration so unforgettable.

An Emotional First Look

The day began with one of the most emotional first looks we’ve ever witnessed. Nikhil’s reaction when he saw Janaki in her bridal look—it was raw, real, and full of love. There were no words needed. Just quiet tears, soft laughter, and the kind of look that says, “This is my forever.” Moments like these make us appreciate the art of Indian wedding photography even more—it’s not just about the pictures; it’s about capturing raw emotions and real connections.

That Baraat Though…

The wedding festivities kicked off with the most majestic baraat we’ve ever seen. Nikhil arrived on a stunning white horse, looking every bit the proud groom as he made his way to the ceremony site at Westmount Country Club. The excitement was palpable—guests were dancing in the streets, music was blaring, and the energy was contagious. Nikhil, surrounded by his family and friends, led the procession with pure joy and celebration. You could feel the excitement in the air as Janaki’s family eagerly awaited the arrival of the groom.

A Beautiful Ceremony Filled with Emotions

Once the baraat was over and Nikhil arrived at the venue, the ceremony began. The combination of Telugu and Gujarati traditions made for a deeply emotional and meaningful event. From the Telugu Jeelakarra Bellam ceremony, where Nikhil and Janaki exchanged a sweet moment of togetherness, to the Gujarati Mangal Pheras, where the couple circled the sacred fire, the vows and rituals were rich with culture and love. There were so many heartfelt moments, but nothing was more moving than when Janaki and Nikhil exchanged their vows, promising forever in front of both their families.

Vidaii – A Bittersweet Farewell

After the ceremony came one of the most emotional moments of the day—the vidaii. Janaki’s farewell to her family was filled with tears of love and emotion. This part of the wedding always touches us deeply, and this one was particularly poignant. Watching Janaki’s family, especially her parents, say goodbye to their daughter and send her off into this new chapter of her life was a bittersweet moment that had everyone in tears. It’s the kind of moment that reminds you just how deeply these traditions are rooted in family and love.

Reception: Fun, Laughter, and Heartfelt Moments

The reception that followed was an absolute blast, filled with laughter, love, and some truly emotional speeches. Janaki & Nikhil’s entrance was nothing short of magical—the love and joy in the air were palpable. Their friends and family couldn’t have been more excited to celebrate them. The night was made even more exciting by DJ Abhi, based in NJ, who kept the party going with his energetic mixes and incredible energy, guiding everyone onto the dance floor. The performances were full of energy and fun, with guests showing off their best dance moves!

The dessert spread was another highlight of the night. Westmount Catering went all out with fancy desserts, including marshmallows roasted on fire and a decadent chocolate fountain. There were so many delicious sweets, and it felt like every guest had a favorite indulgence to enjoy.

The Big Family Picture

To top off an already incredible evening, we captured one of the most memorable moments—an amazing family photo with everyone at the wedding. It’s not every day you get to photograph such a big, beautiful family coming together, and this shot was a true highlight of the day. It captured the love, the joy, and the unity of both families coming together to celebrate Janaki & Nikhil.

A Celebration of Two Families Coming Together

What stood out the most at Janaki & Nikhil’s wedding wasn’t just the beautiful ceremonies or the extravagant celebrations—it was the love and unity between both families. Despite coming from different cultural backgrounds, everyone felt like one big family, with hearts full of joy and gratitude for the beautiful love story unfolding before them.

Janaki’s sister, Nidhi, played a crucial role as the wedding planner. Watching her take on so many responsibilities with such love and care was truly inspiring. It was a perfect reflection of the closeness and deep bond between the two sisters.

Janaki & Nikhil, thank you for letting us be a part of your incredible day. Your love story is one for the ages, and we couldn’t be more honored to have captured it. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and love as you walk hand-in-hand into this next chapter of your lives.
