A year after exchanging vows on the white sands of Zanzibar, Ugandan photographer Daville Mutabazi is still capturing hearts — this time, not through his lens but with a bold romantic gesture.
On June 6, 2025, Daville, widely known in Kampala’s creative and celebrity circles, surprised his wife, Daven Briven, with a brand-new Mercedes-Benz GLE and a land title in her name.
The couple, who wed on June 4, 2024, at the luxurious Zanzibar Serena Resort, marked their first wedding anniversary with what appeared to be a quiet, private celebration — until Daville’s Instagram post lit up timelines.
“They say the first year of marriage is the hardest,” Daville wrote in a caption that accompanied several photos and video reels from the day. “But damn! Has it been the best year of my life! Happy anniversary Mrs. Mutabazi, let these small gifts be a token of my love and appreciation for everything you’ve done for me and us. To forever more. I LOVE YOU.”
Daven, now the creative director at Daville Photography, responded with visible emotion.
“I frozeee guys,” she wrote on Instagram, adding, “Thank you Husband yhooo am shaking.”
The moment resonated with many of their followers. Reactions poured in across social media from celebrities and fans alike.
“I’m screaming for y’all. Oh my!!!” wrote media personality Sheilah Gashumba. “@mrs__mutabazi deserves everything. Y’all are a true power couple. Congrats Daven. Thank you @daville_256 for appreciating your wife like a good husband should do.”
Musician Spice Diana chimed in, calling the couple “beautiful people with beautiful souls.” Television host Precious Remmie added, “Awwww Congs beautiful and happy anniversary to you lover birds.”
Daville, whose camera work has earned him a place among Uganda’s top photographers, has been increasingly present in high-profile events. Most recently, he served as the official photographer at the kukyala (traditional introduction ceremony) of Frank Gashumba and Malaika Mutoni.
Still, despite the luxury gifts and public spotlight, the couple’s celebration felt personal — grounded in sentiment more than spectacle.
Their wedding a year ago was an invite-only affair — intimate, floral, and set against the Zanzibar tide. This anniversary, it seems, they chose to stay just as grounded — but with wheels and a title deed to match the occasion.
