From Me Michel Berda
As a wedding photographer in Charleston, SC, I'm thrilled to capture unique and beautiful moments for my clients. Every wedding has the same mindset of unity. My goal is to create and execute the vision for my artistic approach. The strategies to deliver a consistent experience set me apart in loyalty and differentiate the brand from competitors. My mission and vision to implement are consistent: to capture the essence of each wedding through artistry, quality over quantity, romance, and love. By connecting with my clients and the camera, I strive to create unforgettable memories they will cherish forever.
I often get asked what I do for a living. My answer is that I own King Street Photo Weddings. I feel blessed and honored to be able to create images, capturing the joy and emotions of people at weddings for all of my wonderful clients.
Equally, I take great pride in being a father and am very grateful to have two amazing daughters, Chloe and Courtney

I developed my love and passion for photography in high school at Lahainaluna at 16, where I worked at a photographic retail store in Maui, Hawaii. During my time there, I cultivated and nurtured my knowledge of photography equipment, darkroom techniques, client relations, and sales. I honed in on my skills further my experience in Los Angeles, California, where I learned about studio lighting and strobe usage for location photography. I had the opportunity to work with some of the best fashion and celebrity photographers, which helped me refine my craft. I continued to expand my knowledge through workshops, trade shows, and mentorship.
I have been a photographer with a successful 38+ year career, specializing in wedding photography since 1994. My unique style incorporates Charleston's historic scenery with a fashion-forward approach. After photographing a wedding for a top coordinator planner, I became the most in-demand wedding photographer in Charleston, capturing over 125 weddings in a year. I have captured over 550 weddings in my 29 years in the business and am grateful to my clients for entrusting me with their special day. I have also collaborated with talented wedding vendors in the Lowcountry area, utilizing my strategic mindset, extensive photography experience, and deep understanding of the art to contribute to my success.
