Project
99 Brides started as a challenge between two fashion photographers
Toonz & Lance - to see who will be the first to photograph 99
weddings.
Both photographers were focusing on fashion and advertising photography.

and http://www.stone.sg
)
Bridal work came as an unexpected opportunity when Lance shot a fashion
editorial series "Le Burdoir" for Her World Brides
magazine in December 2006. That spread was very well received.
Shortly after, Toonz also begun shooting fashion spreads for bridal
magazines as well. In the past year, the dynamic duo has dozens of
bridal fashion spreads for various magazines like Wedding
& Travel, Female Brides, Blissful
Brides, Tatler Weddings, Her World
Brides. Established bridal boutiques like Digio,
Golden Horse, Frederick Lee Bridal etc have
also engaged them to photograph for their advertising campaigns.
Soon
wedding couples came knocking on their doors after seeing their works
in magazines and bridal boutiques. However, Toonz & Lance prefer
to focus on their fashion work and they can only handle selective
bridal assignments. Close friend and associate Steve Lim was invited
on board in mid-2007 to help cope with the popular demand.
