Now the couple are set to embark on their biggest journey together as their latest images see the pair join each other in matrimony after the Russian photographer uploaded an image two days ago that saw his bride in a glorious white Vera Wang dress heading down the aisle with him following close behind.

Murad Osmann who famously captures images of his partner Natalie Zakharova leading him round the world in the #followmeto hashtag has posted an image of their marriage on his Instagram but unusually they are not holding hands
He wrote: '#followmeto the wedding with my love @yourleo. I promise to hold your hand and tell you I love you every day for the rest of our lives.'
Unusually for the photographer in this striking image Murad and Natalie are not holding hands in the picture and instead she walks ahead as he stretches his arm out to her.
However, Natalie took to her own Instagram to post a more traditional snap seeing her lead her new husband down the aisle to applauding friends and family and accompanied her image with an identical caption to Murad.
The new bride also uploaded an additional Instagram post which saw a rare photo of the couple in a face to face embrace showcasing her fairy tale designer gown which she purchased in the Vera Wang boutique in Moscow.

Natural beauties! Zakharova poses with the giant animals in front of the Amer Fort in Jaipur in India
The Moscow-based couple have been travelling around the world for five years and their latest trip to India impressively outshines previous pictures to provide even more opulent and colourful images.
The trip was in honour of recreating the couple's magic for Harper's Bazaar Bride India with Zakharova wearing bridal outfits while leading Murad through India.
Backdrops featured include the picturesque Taj Mahal, Jaipur Ajmer Fort, Hawa Mahal, Jama Masjid and Chand Baori, and Natalia is dressed in traditional Indian outfits and jewellery, perfectly complimenting the surroundings.
Shooting in India proved an exciting task, with the couple having to adapt to the busy surroundings.
On the Facebook page for the #followmeto project, Osmann wrote how in one particular shoot they were initially promised a session with elephants for 10 to 15 minutes, however they were not allowed to stop to shoot in the middle of the road, so had to snap continually running ahead of the animals, getting as many pictures as possible.
In the end they were even stopped by the police due to the disruption.
The police on Monday arraigned a 70-year-old man, Isa Hussaini, at the Upper Customary Court, Sabongari, Zaria, for stealing a goat. Hussaini, a resident of Funtua LGA in Katsina State is facing a one-count charge of theft. The prosecutor, Cpl. Bashir Abdullahi, told the court that the matter was reported through a distress call by the village head of Yakawada, Alhaji Rilwanu Yakawada in Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
He said that on June 2, Hussaini was found in possession of a goat suspected to be stolen. Abdullahi said that when the suspect was challenged, he confessed to the theft, contrary to Section 319 (a) of the penal code.
The accused person pleaded guilty to the offence but the Judge, Mr Atiku Sarki-Yohanam, granted him bail in the sum of N30,000 and one reasonable surety in like sum.
The judge then adjourned hearing in the case until June 11. In an interview after the hearing, the accused person confessed that he had spent 15 years in stealing business. He said “I started this ugly job 15 years ago and I started by stealing maize and later started stealing goats because I sell beef kebab. I steal to feed my two wives and six children,’’ he added.

Sen. Bukola Saraki (APC-Kwara Central) was on Tuesday sworn-in as President of
the 8th Senate, while Ike Ekweremadu (PDP-Enugu-West) was sworn in as Deputy Senate President.
Saraki’s swearing in by Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr Salisu Maikasuwa, followed his nomination by Sen. Ahmed Yerima (APC- Zamfara West) and seconded by Sen. Dino Melaye (APC-Kogi West).
Saraki was elected unopposed by 57 out of 108 senators-elect.
51 senators, including Sen. Ahmed Lawan (APC Yobe North), were not present as at 10:30 a.m. when Sen. Saraki was returned as elected.
Lawan was a major contender for the seat of the President of the Senate and was the choice of the APC during the Saturday mock election.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Lawan alongside other supporters had allegedly gone for a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari aimed at resolving the impasse among the contenders.
Meanwhile, Ekweremadu was sworn as Deputy President of the Senate, after he polled 54 votes to defeat Sen. Ali Ndume (APC- Borno-South), who polled 20 votes, while one vote was declared invalid.
NAN reports that the day’s activity started at 10 a.m. with the reading of President Muhammadu Buhari’s proclamation by the Clerk of National Assembly (CNA), Alhaji Abubakar Maikasuwa.
Thereafter, former President of the Senate, David Mark, and other senators-elect took their oath of office.
Maikasuwa later ordered the Deputy Clerk of the Senate, Mr Adedotun Durojaiye, to take roll call of the Senators-elect present at the Hallowed Chamber.
Maikasuwa, in the course of the roll call, cautioned all senators-elect against raising any Point of Order.
A Zambian musician was arrested on Monday over a song he composed that officials said defamedPresident Edgar Lungu by accusing him of drinking too much and being incompetent.
Chama Fumba, 31, whose stage name is Pilato, was detained in Lusaka and charged with conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace, his lawyer told reporters at the capital’s central police station.
“The police declined to grant us bail and we requested to them that in that case the matter should quickly proceed to court,” Marshall Muchende said.
Fumba faces a maximum sentence of six months in prison or a fine if found guilty.
The song’s lyrics tell the story of a character named Lungu who grows up in a slum and becomes president.
The Lungu in the song is described as carrying a suitcase filled with bottles of Jameson Irish whiskey and having no idea how to govern.
President Lungu, 58, who took office in January, is a former defence minister.
He suffers from recurring achalasia, a condition caused by narrowing of the oesophagus, and has been regularly hospitalised for treatment.
His election victory followed the death of predecessor Michael Sata.
