A source for RadarOnline also claimed that Hello! has obtained the international rights to such pictures. Prior to exchanging wedding vows in France, Pitt and Jolie had already chosen a personal photographer from Getty Images to take pictures of the celebration.

"Brad and Angelina knew there would be tremendous interest in their wedding pictures, and decided to donate the money to their charitable foundation," the insider explained. "The couple has done this numerous times in the past."

In 2008, the couple was paid US$14 million for the pictures of their twin children, Knox and Vivienne, to be published.

This time, the spotlight is on the Academy Award-winning actress as she donned an Atelier Versace gown, complete with traces of artwork made her children with Pitt: Maddox (13 y/o), Pax (10 y/o), Zahara (9 y/o), Shiloh (8 y/o), and Vivienne and Knox (6 y/o).

Master tailor Luigi Massi reportedly sewed designs from the kids' drawings onto Jolie's dress. Meanwhile, the "World War Z" actor wore a minimalist suit from his personal closet.

"It was important to us that the day was relaxed and full of laughter," Pitt and Jolie told Hello! "It was such a special day to share with our children and a happy time for our family."

Jolie established the Maddox Jolie Pitt Foundation in 2003 after the philanthropist adopted her eldest son from Cambodia. The charitable organization has been known to support a wide range of humanitarian projects all over the world that contribute to increased access to safe drinking water in developing countries, legal services for children in Libya, and increased availability of vaccines to children.
