It should come as no surprise that Mario Testino was chosen to take the official engagement photo for Prince William and Kate Middleton. Testino was Princess Diana's most trusted photographer, capturing her for countless British Vogue shoots and official engagements. He also photographed Prince Charles for the September 2010 issue of Vogue. It would seem that Mario Testino has well established himself as a friend to both the Royals and the fashion industry.
His official engagement photo of the young couple is simple and elegant. If they weren't one of the most famous couples in the world, they could very well be any other stylish and sophisticated couple. Both appear relaxed and genuinely happy- everything one would want in an engagement photo.
The photo only leaves me wondering who designed Kate's beautiful dress. Issa, perhaps?
