True love transcends great distances. Song and Jason grew up in China and attended grade school together. Song eventually came to America for school. Jason unbeknown st to her did the same. It was through mutual friends that the two eventually learn they were on the same continent across the ocean from where they grew up.

It wonderful how fate works. Song, Jason and a few of their friends all planned a trip to Thailand together. When the trip nears, each friend eventually had to cancel for one reason or another, leaving Jason and Song to visit Thailand on their own. It was that fateful trip that Song described as possibly the kindling of a relationship that transcends distance and became more than just childhood friendship. All of Song’s friends still swear that though it sounds conveniently suspicious on their part, their last minute cancellation were all coincidental and not premeditated or flavored with any ulterior motive whatsoever.

Back in the states, Jason is finishing up his doctorate work in Florida while Song is working in San Diego. Instant messaging and long distance phone calls helps to grow their relationship. But it’s Jason’s semimonthly visits to San Diego that helps to cement it. San Diego is better than Florida claims Song. Jason reason that the beaches in Florida is better thus Florida is better. But in the ends, wherever their hearts are near one another is all that matters. It may have taken them a half a world away before their heart realized that…but that is why fate works so wonderfully.Having some fun with the local seagulls.Loving the mood and warmth of this one as the sun sets lower over the ocean.Night falls and we went over to the Gaslamp quarters in downtown San Diego to work the off camera lighting and get some amazing images.Song and Jason – it was so nice to meet you two and it was too much fun just hanging out like old friends.
