In the dazzling theatre of Lagos, where love is as bold as the city lights, Tobi James and his queen just painted the town with passion, marking two years as husband and wife in the most poetic fashion.
Tobi, the acclaimed Nigerian storyteller and photographer, renowned for his candid and powerful narratives of legacy and corporate excellence for the likes of UBA Chairman Tony Elumelu, has taken to social media to celebrate his second wedding anniversary with his beloved wife. Sharing a series of mesmerizing photographs, Tobi penned a remarkable message that resonates with the timeless devotion of Shakespearean sonnets: “I will still choose you now, tomorrow, and in a million years to come.

The anniversary visuals are a masterclass in unapologetic Naija romance, offering a blueprint for modern love infused with a classic vintage charm. The couple, draped in matching white tops and crisp blue jeans, exudes an effortless chemistry.
In the incandescent first image, the sheer passion is palpable as Tobi effortlessly lifts his wife, their eyes locked in an electrifying gaze, lips poised for a kiss. Her hands, adorned with golden rings, tenderly frame his face and neck, as she is intimately perched on his hip–a tableau of playful intimacy and profound trust, set against a dreamy white backdrop that lends an editorial allure.

The second photograph transports viewers into a realm of black-and-white magic. The couple sits intimately, the wife nestled between his legs, his arm encircling her waist, her hand resting gently on his knee. Her eyes, piercing and profound, meet the camera’s gaze, while his hand rests tenderly on her head. This composition exudes a soft, secure power, evoking the poetic allure of a “Bonnie and Clyde, Lagos edition.”
The final image captures them in a quintessential power couple stance: standing side by side, holding hands, their coordinating outfits symbolizing their unwavering unity. Her expression is one of strength and regal confidence, while his gaze remains steadfast. He stands slightly behind her, embodying protection and unwavering support, as she stands tall at the forefront. This dynamic tableau resonates with a “ride or die” ethos, urban royalty, and the epitome of #CoupleGoals.

These photographs transcend mere imagery; they are a visual love poem, a vibrant celebration of Black love, distinctive style, and profound partnership, radiating afrocentric pride and authenticity. Indeed, if Cupid were to wield a camera in Lagos, this is precisely the kind of soul-stirring content he would capture.
The breathtaking quality of these anniversary portraits is a testament to the collaborative brilliance of Lagos’s creative titans. The exquisite photography was meticulously crafted by Tosin Junaid, the visionary founder of Junaid Studios, whose artistry in storytelling through the lens is truly unparalleled. The flawless makeup that graced the wife’s features was the masterful work of Surulere-based celebrity makeup artist Biola, whose touch enhanced her natural radiance. Completing the perfect visual symphony, the exquisite hairdo was expertly created by Nigerian entrepreneur Kafilat Hammed, adding another layer of grace and sophistication to the couple’s celebratory aesthetic. These talented individuals deserve immense commendation for their collective efforts in immortalizing such a beautiful milestone.
