The photographer, who shot some of the most iconic images of the late Princess Diana which featured on the cover of Vanity fair, was specially selected by Prince William and Kate Middleton to shoot the Engagement portraits. Having worked with William on a number of occasions, Mario was perhaps an obvious choice.
