PEOPLE Magazine in the US has released the ‘first photo’ of the actor George Clooney and his wife human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin.

The photos will also been published by celebrity magazine HELLO! which also posted its cover on social media.

After the pair exchanged traditional vows, platinum bands and, yes, a lengthy kiss at their 30-minute wedding ceremony last Saturday in Venice, Italy, the newlyweds turned to their family and friends.

And the place went wild, PEOPLE magazine is reporting.

The actor was dressed in a Giorgio Armani tux while his wife Amal wore an Oscar de le Renta creation.

The intimate wedding party included Bono, actor Matt Damon and US Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

Proceeds from the sale of their photos are said to be donated to one of the charitable causes the couple support.
