Anne Hathaway donates wedding picture profits to charity

Anne Hathaway has vowed to boost the coffers of her favorite charities by donating the money she received for selling her wedding photographs.

The Dark Knight Rises star walked down the aisle with her fiance Adam Shulman last month (Sep12), and sold several happy pictures of their big day to selected media outlets.

The profits raised from the sale will go to good causes, including Freedom to Marry, which campaigns for gay couples to have the right to wed across the U.S.

Hathaway has backed the legalisation of same-sex marriage since revealing in 2008 that her brother is gay.

The money will also be split between the American Cancer Society, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and The Girl Effect, which helps impoverished young women.
