I cant change all her documents as we both prefer to keep our original names. What can be done in this situation?

For the registration purpose you need not change the name ,the application for registration will file in original name.The necessary requirement is that the persons intending to marry inform the marriage officer of the district in which at least one of them lives. The marriage officer then posts the information on a public notice board and keeps it up for 30 days. During those 30 days, any person can object to the marriage on grounds such as the intended bride is under age or that she is too closely related to the bridegroom or that she has been married before. If no valid objections are received, the couple signs a declaration in the marriage office in the presence of three witnesses. The marriage officer then issues a certificate of marriage to the couple as proof of the marriage.

if we do a court marriage now, would our documents which were issued much before be considered valid?

The documents issued earlier are not illegal .But the name reflect in documents are different so you have do necessary actions for both are same persons. or change the names .like wise In the case of child birth certificate the name reflects as per birth certificate application before the authority issued the same.
