From Me Michel Berda
As a wedding photographer in Charleston, SC, I'm thrilled to capture unique and beautiful moments for my clients. While every wedding has the same goal of unity, my artistic approach sets me apart from other photographers. My mission and vision 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 developed a passion for photography when I was 16 while working at a photographic retail store in Maui, Hawaii. During my time there, I learned about photography equipment, developing black and white photos in the darkroom, processing C41 color negatives, client relations, and sales. I further honed my image capture skills in Los Angeles, California, by learning about the studio and ambient lighting and incorporating strobes for location photography to create special effects. I had the privilege of working as an apprentice with some of the best fashion and celebrity photographers, which helped me improve my craft. Additionally, I continue to learn by attending workshops and trade shows and drawing from the knowledge of past and current mentors. I have been a photographer for over 38 years, based in Charleston, South Carolina, since 1985. My interest in wedding photography started with a small boutique on King Street called King Street Photo. In 1994, I started specializing in wedding photography and developed my unique style of incorporating Charleston's historic scenery with a fashion-forward approach. This style became popular after I received a call from Tally Attaway, a top wedding coordinator planner in Charleston, who wanted me to photograph one of her client's weddings. The client was looking for a photographer that could capture the beauty of Charleston while incorporating its fashion style, and I was able to deliver just that. After that wedding, I became Charleston's most in-demand wedding photographer, capturing over 125 weddings in a year. Since then, I have made it a point to take clients out of the typical studio and into the beautiful outdoors of Charleston's historical settings. I have been in the wedding photography business for 29 years and have captured over 525 weddings. I am grateful to all my clients for entrusting me with the privilege of capturing their special day. I have also been fortunate to collaborate with many talented wedding vendors from the Lowcountry area in Charleston, South Carolina, which has contributed to my success.
