2nd place in Send Off/Departure
The WPJA contest judges presented Fabricio Halchuk, a Brazil 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.

- Funny moment. Either great planning, or very lucky. In either case, well done.
- What a gem! The farm equipment alone made this a good photo, but the apparently spontaneous interaction between the two parties made it a great photo.
