In pictures: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's star-studded wedding in Venice
Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos tied the knot with TV presenter Lauren Sanchez in a lavish wedding in Venice on Friday.
Reality stars, actors, royals and a whole host of A-listers were trailed by paparazzi in water taxis as they made their way to the three-day event.
Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Kylie Jenner and Ivanka Trump were just some of the celebrities seen in the city for the star-studded event.
The festivities are expected to end on Saturday with a large party in a former medieval shipyard, where Lady Gaga and Elton John are expected to perform.
Wearing a lace Dolce & Gabbana haute couture gown that took 900 hours of atelier work, Sanchez told photographers that she "felt like a princess".
Sanchez, 55, was later seen beaming alongside a jubilant Bezos, 61, after the ceremony, in a picture posted on Instagram, which was captioned with a love heart and the date.
An estimated 200 people, 70 of whom are family, were invited to the nuptials, though Sanchez told Vogue that the event was "extremely intimate".
Friday's ceremony took place on the small island of San Giorgio, where Matteo Bocelli - son of Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli - reportedly performed.

While the exact cost of the wedding is not known, estimates range from $20m (£14m) to more than $50m.
The event has attracted protests from a variety of groups in Venice, from locals fighting over-tourism to climate change activists.
This will be the second wedding for both Sanchez and Bezos.
The couple have seven children between them from previous marriages and relationships.
They got engaged in May 2023 on board their 417-foot sailing yacht, Koru, named after a Maori symbol for "new life."
In November 2023, the pair held an engagement party in Beverly Hills, with Oprah Winfrey, Salma Hayek Pinault, Barbra Streisand, Kris Jenner in attendance.
