The reality star will marry NBA star Kris Humphries later today, and The Hollywood Reporter claims that People have outbid several other publications to land exclusive rights for the event.
It is believed that between the photo deal and an E! deal for a two-part television special covering the event, Kardashian will be one of the few brides to actually make money out of her own wedding.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has also been given several freebies for the ceremony, including a $20,000 Vera Wang wedding gown.

It’s going to be nothing short of fantastic, and Kim Kardashian's weekend wedding will spare no expense.
Aerial shots of the $29 million estate in Montecito, California reveal that a roof has been added to the huge stage set up at the 10.9 acre Sotto Il Monte mansio.
The wedding will be uber-formal, with Kim and her soon-to-be-hubby Kris Humphries requesting that guest wear black and white attire.
And none of the 500 guests are permitted to bring cameras into the ceremony- instead the Kardashians will provide pictures to the guests by the end of the evening.
Kim’s stepdad Bruce Jenner will walk her down the aisle, and she’ll wear at least three $25,000 Vera Wang dresses before the day is through.
Below are pictures of the wedding site of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries.
A source has denied Kourtney Kardashian's claims that the bridesmaids' dresses at her sister Kim's wedding will be green.
Kourtney tweeted about the colour of the dresses over the weekend, responding to a follower's question.
However, an insider told E! News that Kourtney's claims are "99% untrue."
The source explained: "The theme of the wedding will stay consistent with the invite."
The invitation requests that guests wear only black and white, which would suggest that the bridesmaids' dresses themselves are likely to be black.
Meanwhile, X17 Online reports that the wedding will take place at the Sotto Il Monte, a 10.9-acre mansion in Northern California. The estate in question was supposed to be the location of Jennifer Lopez's wedding to Ben Affleck in 2003, but the couple ultimately called off their engagement.

Kim Kardashian has revealed that she flew "11 hours" for a wedding dress fitting in New York City.
The reality TV star told reporters on Wednesday that she recently travelled all the way to New York City for a brief meeting with Vera Wang designers and then headed directly to the airport to catch a flight back home to LA.
She said: "I took the red-eye at midnight, landed at eight in the morning in New York, ran to Vera Wang for a dress fitting at 10am, and then left at noon on another flight out… So I was literally in for an hour, back out. I spent like 11 hours on a plane just to spend three hours in New York."
Kardashian and fiancé Kris Humphries are to wed on August 20 in Montecito, CA, but the 30-year-old insists that she's not nervous to tie the knot.

Kim Kardashian is getting ready for her bachelorette party this weekend and has laid done a rule - no naked dances.
However, Kim's sister Khole is planning to throw an 'embarrassing' bachelorette party for her.
"I'm not really into all the typical [bachelorette party] things, so I'm hoping that's not the case," she told People's Magazine.
"I'm just going into it with a really open mind and not really thinking about it. I just want to have a really good get away," she added.
Kim's best friend Brittny Gastineau, however, revealed that male strippers wouldn't be part of Kim's hen party.
"For Khloe's we had [male strippers] and Kim and I were literally screaming and running away from them. I told Kim no naked dancers!" said Gastineau.
She said that the fun will start with a Los Angeles bridal shower and then a small group of them will fly to Las Vegas for one night.
"Like The Hangover. All you need is that one night. Can you imagine if it were like The Hangover? If we all woke up and we were like, 'Where are we?'," she said.
Kim Kardashian has confessed that she sometimes struggles with the demands of being a well-known celebrity.
The reality star discussed the difficulties of fame in a new interview with Cosmopolitan, in which she compares herself to a "zoo animal" because of the unwanted attention she often receives.
Kardashian explained: "Sometimes I feel like a zoo animal. I'll be at a restaurant, and someone will put their phone in front of my face and take a picture without saying hi."
The 30-year-old is currently planning her marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries following the couple's engagement announcement in May.
Kardashian was reportedly close to finalising a deal to have her wedding day broadcast on TV, though she later admitted that she had reservations about sharing the occasion with the general public.
She was recently photographed shopping for a wedding dress at Vera Wang's flagship store in New York City ahead of her wedding day, which will reportedly take place next month.
A lawsuit filed against the Kardashians in relation to a pre-paid debit card has been dismissed, according to reports.
Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and their mum Kris Jenner were sued for $75 million (£50 million) by Revenue Resource Group in January after pulling out of an endorsement deal to promote the product.
The Kardashians reportedly withdrew their support following claims that the card had high fees, and were later sued for breach of contract.
However, The AP reports that a Fresno Superior Court Judge threw out the case after ruling that the sisters couldn't be sued for expressing reservations about the product because it would go against their free speech rights.
He also said that the lawsuit had failed to prove that Revenue Resource Group could win their breach of contract claim.
According to the Fresno Bee, the COO of Revenue Resource Group suggested that the company might appeal the decision after the judgment is finalised.
Representatives for the Kardashians, who premiered the sixth season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians at the weekend, have yet to comment.

The reality star has a number of successful businesses including a clothing line, shoe company and two fragrances, as well as co-owning three different boutiques.
"I'm always travelling, having so many business ventures gets hectic," Kardashian explained to Glamour magazine.
"Even when I take days off I find myself sneaking off to approve shoes for my website or photos for my perfume campaign," she continued. "I'm a workaholic."
Kardashian also insisted that despite what people may think she takes an active role in her businesses.
"If I'm doing something then I'm 100 percent involved," she claimed. "I don't want to just be a face."

Khloe Kardashian has said that her marriage to Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom was difficult for her sister Kim to accept at first.
The reality star claimed that when she married Odom in September 2009, it was like a 'wake-up call' for her older sister.
"I think it was hard for Kim when I got married," Kardashian said recently, according to Bang Showbiz. "It was a wake-up call for her."
Kardashian was quick to point out that although Kim wasn't jealous of her relationship with Lamar, it has definitely caused her sister to to re-evaluate her priorities.
"It wasn't jealousy as such, it was more, 'Oh my God, my little sister is getting married'," Kardashian explained. "It made her reflect a lot."
The Khloe & Lamar star added that rumours of rivalry between the three Kardashian sisters have no truth to them at all.
"The envy between my sisters and me is totally hyped up," Kardashian clarified. "We are each other's biggest fans."
Bollywood star Vidya Balan has revealed that she was mistaken for Kim Kardashian on a recent trip to Australia.
The actress told Mumbai Mirror that the incident took place at a Melbourne gay club, where she was partying with friends on a night out.
According to the paper, a clubber at a venue in Melbourne's Commercial Road district approached the Hindi film star and stated: "I am gay, but you are really hot. By any chance, are you Kim Kardashian?"
The actor, who was recently advised to show more skin in her work, is reported to have not known how to react after being asked if she was the reality television star.
"I didn't know what to say, so I just smiled," said the 33-year-old.
The star recently had the chance to share the stage with actor Hugh Jackman at an industry event in Mumbai.
"I never thought I'd get the opportunity to shake a leg with him, Bollywood style," she commented.
Balan was involved in a doctored bikini image scandal last month after her head was superimposed onto the body of a model for a fake magazine cover.
Kim Kardashian has defended her controversial covershoot for Turkish Cosmopolitan.
The April edition of the magazine caused uproar as the reality star's appearance clashes with Genocide Remembrance Day, an occasion which marks the 1915 killing of thousands of Armenian citizens by Turkish rebels. Kardashian is of Armenian descent through her late father Robert.
"I just found out today that I am on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine in Turkey this month," she wrote on her blog on Monday. "Cosmopolitan... has a number of international editions all around the world that run in various territories, and when I did this shoot for the international covers I had no idea that Turkey was planning to run my story on their cover this month, considering Genocide Remembrance Day is this month."
However, she went on to insist that the unfortunate situation in no way compromises the pride she has in her background.
"My Armenian heritage means a lot to me and I've been brought up to be incredibly proud of my family's background and culture so as an Armenian-American woman it is a huge honour for me to be on the first ever Armenian Cosmopolitan cover," she wrote.
"I have an amazing relationship with Cosmopolitan magazine. World-over, Cosmo is known as a fun and inspiring magazine for women of all races, shapes, sizes, regardless of their political beliefs and I really hope that if I can bring awareness to the issue, then this is an accomplishment."
Kardashian previously admitted confusion as to why the media is so obsessed with her body.
Her mother Kris Jenner recently spoke out in support of her daughters, insisting that they work hard in their chosen fields.
Kim Kardashian has said that she is not ready to have children.

"Not anytime soon," she said of when she'd like to become a mother.
"But I never know what the future holds."
Kardashian went on to reveal that she is extremely happy with her relationship with new boyfriend Kris Humphries, adding: "I think I haven't found one thing wrong with him, let's just put it like that,"
Kourtney Kardashian has denied rumours that she is planning to marry boyfriend Scott Disick.
Recent magazine reports had suggested that the Kourtney & Kim Take New York! star had accepted a proposal from Disick.
However, she has since taken to her Twitter account to deny the rumours, writing: "WOW!! Where do the mags come up with this stuff? And claiming exclusives? Come on now (sic)."
She added on her official blog: "We haven’t done any exclusive interviews for this week's mags. So thank you everyone for the excitement but you will have to tune into the finale of the show for the real scoop."
Kardashian and Disick, who are parents to young son Mason, recently celebrated Valentine's Day together in Las Vegas.
Kim Kardashian has admitted that she was initially "shocked" when she saw the results of a recent nude photoshoot.
This week's episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York! saw the star breaking down on seeing her finished shoot for an art publication.
"I was naked but fully covered in silver paint," she explained to Kourtney during the episode. "This artist will put images of architecture and buildings and stuff on top of me so you will see my body shape and the outline but not actually my boobs or anything."
However, when the pictures arrived she broke down in tears at how much nudity was on display, crying: "I'm more naked here than I was in my Playboy."
During an appearance on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, which airs mornings on KIIS-FM, she explained that although she now "loved" the images, she had initially been surprised at how different they were to what she had expected.
"I love it now and I'm glad that I did it, but when you are told something and it's not what you think it's going to be, I was so shocked," she said. "I felt like I'd been here and done this and kind of wanted to move on from that.
"At the end of the day they are gorgeous photos and I'm glad I did it and I love them, but at the time I was shocked about how they weren't how I thought they would be."
However, she admitted that she could not complain about the finished feature because she had been aware she was posing nude. "I knew what I was doing," she added. "I took my clothes off, I did a nude shoot but it wasn't supposed to be that way so I was upset."
The star's new reality series Kourtney & Kim Take New York! kicked off to record ratings on E! last week. It follows Kim and Kourtney as they relocate to Manhattan from Los Angeles to launch a third branch of their Dash boutique.
