Prince William & Kate Middleton Share Two Official Engagement Photos
The newly released photos – the official portrait photographs for the engagement of Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton – were captured during a two-hour shoot by fashion photographer Mario Testino, who was hand-selected by the groom-to-be, 28, for the task.
"Prince William has worked with Mario Testino on many occasions before, and so the couple decided that he was the right choice for such an important portrait," said a Clarence House spokeswoman.
Middleton, 28, did her own makeup for the photos (as she did for her televised post-engagement interview), a source tells PEOPLE, though Testino's makeup artist was on hand for touch-ups.
And those famous tresses? The princess-to-be got her hair done by her usual stylist, James Pryce, from the Richard Ward salon.
For the formal photo – which was snapped in the historic Council Chamber linked to Clarence House, the official residence of William's father Prince Charles – Prince William donned a Turnbull and Asser suit, while Kate chose a white Reiss dress and Links earrings. For the dressed-down denim look – taken in the Cornwall Room of St. James's Palace – William changed into a Turnbull and Asser shirt and Brunello Cucinelli sweater, with Kate opting for a Whistles blouse.

Testino is famous for his photos of celebrities and royalty, among them Prince William, Prince Harry and their late mother, Princess Diana.
"I am very happy to have been asked to cover this historic moment that the whole world was waiting for," Testino said in a statement. "They are in their prime and brimming with happiness. I have never felt so much joy as when I see them together."

Those are beautiful shots. 
ETA- she almost looks nude in the casual pic, around the shoulders, till you look and see the cuffs of her blouse.

Re: Prince William & Kate Middleton Share Two Official Engagement Photos
I'm just glad they look happy - and that they are doing it a little more 'normal' with the first shot - that's a typical, we're happy, engagement shot and I love that they did that instead of being so formal all the time...... but, then they still added in the formal picture, to make the Queen happy, and because he is still the heir to the throne so it makes sense. I love them!

I tell ya, Prince William is NOT aging well! I feel like he picked up the worst features from each of his parents. Of course, the whole "future heir to the throne of England" thing does sweeten the deal a bit!

Exactly. He really is looking more and more like his father...but with the whole, "Hi, I'm a prince" pickup line, well you can't really go wrong with that .
They look really cute and happy though.

I was thinking the same thing... I always though he was so handsome but now he's starting to look like his dad..

Absolutely love the first one! They look so genuinely happy. Look at his smile in the first one compared to the forced smile in the formal one. Shes so pretty and classy!
