10th place in Send Off/Departure
The WPJA contest judges presented Alfonso Longobardi, a Salerno, Italy wedding photographer, with this Master Piece Award as recognition for top wedding photojournalism in the industry.
The leading documentary wedding photographers in the world enter their best photos to the Wedding Photojournalist Association's photography competitions. They want their wedding reportage photographs to be evaluated and selected by some of the most notable and respected working picture editors and photojournalists in the news industry (these are not wedding photographers or other WPJA members judging their work). Winning these competitions is a true accomplishment for a wedding photographer.

- The couple is surrounded by onlookers, and the bride is loving it. She is in such a fairy-tale daze. The photographer managed to capture a great moment. I love the moped that the groom seems to be struggling with.
