Davita wore a deep red, intricately beaded off-shoulder gown, complemented by a multi-strand coral necklace, matching earrings, and an elaborate headpiece with a veil.
Zlatan, born Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael and widely known for the hit "Zanku," opted for a white traditional ensemble trimmed with red bead fringe, layered coral necklaces, a white cap, and a carved staff in select shots.
The studio portraits captured both individual and joint frames against opulent backdrops.
The wedding marks a significant public milestone for a couple who have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight.
They share two sons, Shiloh and Benaiah, and had quietly formalised their union with a private civil ceremony before this occasion.
Their public announcement of the October 24 date came through a heartfelt Instagram video inviting followers to save the date.
