Princess Charlotte's formal christening portraits are getting a high-fashion spin. Mario Testino has confirmed he's take the reins from fellow fashion photographer Jason Bell to capture the family after the event on July 5th. The photographer behind the Towel Series was also the creative genius behind Kate and Will's warm and fuzzy engagement portrait.

Jason Bell is out and Mario Testino has been chosen to take the official photographs of #PrincessCharlotte's christening on Sunday.
