What can you say about Michel and King Street Photography? After meeting with over 10 wedding photographers we knew that Michel was our guy in five minutes. He is intense and you will quickly realize that his intensity actually is just a disguise for his passion. He cares so much about making sure that the magic of your wedding day is captured and that you are supremely happy with the results. He was attentive and passionate about the planning of the shoot months prior to our wedding weekend and was easy to talk to during the planning process. Michel and his staff were punctual, polite and professional. It seemed as though he was prepared to go to war when the day came. Every time we turned around he was there seizing special moments that will be ours for a lifetime. Michel is truly an expert in every sense of the word. He is great at orchestrating and directing all those in front of his lens while setting backgrounds that are breathtaking. If we could give him 10 stars we would. If you are looking for someone to realize your vision with a style unrivaled by anything you’d find in a fairy tale….do yourself a favor and call on Michel. We can’t express enough how much we enjoyed working with such a consummate professional and artist. More...

Michel of King Street Photo Weddings was efficient and created exactly the kind of artistic and family-style photos we were wanting. He arrived super early (my wife’s dad spotted him setting up at the venue around noon for a 5pm wedding) and he stayed late. He also didn’t charge a fee for traveling several hours. Due to the fact that our reception fell behind schedule, he gladly stayed even longer than expected to capture photos of every memorable event. He even brought rose petals for us to use for a special photo op after the ceremony. With 3 cameras on hand at all times, Michel was like an entire team of photographers in one person! And he also helped us stay on budget by cutting out things we didn’t need, such as an engagement shoot, and by using a single shooter approach rather than charging for multiple photographers. That being said, he wasn’t afraid to enlist our very helpful best man and bridesmaids for some small tasks during photo taking - which made everything go so smoothly. We feel that we got so much more than we paid for. Thank you, Michel. More...

Michel Berda is a very artistic photographer. He really knows how to perfectly capture the day. He had taken many pictures that I wasn't aware of. My husband stated how he loved the fact that you didn't even know he was there. He did not take away from the ceremony, but I had seen pictures from all around the room. I never noticed him moving around. He contacted my daughter before the wedding and told her to give him a list of pictures that they wanted so the memories of the day will be what they wanted. He showed up that day with so much equipment. He wears a vest and we called the Rambo Photographer. He had everything he needed to make sure the lighting was right for each picture. He created a timeline and stuck to it making the day go smoothly. We got the pictures back in less than 2 weeks and they are amazing. I told my daughter that the photographer is the most important part of all the people hired because that is the person who will capture the day. The day goes so fast and its like a blur. Michel did an fabulous job with the important task he had to capture the day. Thank you Michel for the job you did for my daughter and son in law. You are more than a photographer, you are a true artist. If you want a perfect day, hire Michel! More...

Months ahead of the wedding, we worked with Michel to develop the perfect timeline that we ended up sharing with our planner and other vendors. He had great advice and had great suggestions for some shots. On the wedding day, he was super early, scouting out spots for our family photos and bridal shots. He joked with all of us and made the day comfortable. He kept us on schedule and made sure we got all of the shots we wanted. As a type A person, I had a list of pics I wanted and Michel worked hard to make sure all of them were achieved. He was helpful in other way too - the few weeks before the wedding when I was stressed about finding rose petals for a certain picture, Michel offered to pick them up for me so I didn't have to stress. He was able to capture the most amazing pictures- they were everything we could have hoped for! There are so many pictures that I love and want to frame. He was efficient in everything and made sure we got everything we wanted. We would definitely recommend Michel to any couple looking to get exactly what they want out of their wedding photos.

Michel Berda with King Street Photo Weddings was absolutely fantastic! He took his time to capture all of the precious moments — he does not rush you through at all. He takes pride in his work, and it shows through in the final product. We had a sunset session, and Michel had all the lighting and camera equipment to take photos in the day and night. Not only was his work product superb, but he is also very kind and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Michel for any photoshoot! More...

Recently I won a free Engagement Session with Michel. After speaking to Michel, I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to surprise my fiance by proposing to him, and letting Michel capture the moment and take other engagement photos for us.

Michel was immediately on-board and began helping me plan the location, time, and surprise proposal. On the day of, he arrived early for set up and discretely prepared to capture the moment. We have tons of beautiful pictures to hold on to and because of him, this is a day we will always remember and have great pictures to look back on.

Michel is a dream to work with! My Fiance and I had our engagement photoshoot planned with a different photographer originally but they had canceled our session for another couple two hours before we had originally scheduled (right after getting my hair done too). My Fiance called photographers all around the area to find someone to take our photos at the last second and Michel stepped up to the plate! within an hour, we were down at Hampton Park ready to go! He practically brought his entire studio with him (huge bags with several lenses, professional lighting, etc..) and gave us whatever we wanted! He made it so easy to pose for photos and gave us our full edited photos TWO DAYS later! What more could you want in a photographer? HIGHLY suggest going with Michel and his team :) More...

When I first met Michel I knew he was the photographer I would book for our wedding! I met him at a bridal show where there were many other vendors booths, especially photographers. What stood out about Michel was that he was very personal, outgoing, and honest. He is very upfront with his services and pricing which stood out among others. After deciding to go with Michel he checked in with me several times before my bridal portraits and the wedding. He asked to see my idea board and was very open with my own visions. My bridal portraits were breathtaking and made me even more excited for our wedding day! Michel was more organized than I can even put into words! He runs a tight ship and you should not expect less from a professional! His work is out of this world! All of the family and wedding party loved his presence and were so blown away at our beautiful photos. On top of his amazing work- we got ALL of our photos (hundreds!!) within 18 days of our wedding! His talent, passion and expertise were evident in every single shot! I cannot emphasize how much of a disservice you are doing yourself if you do not choose King Street Photo Weddings to shoot your big day! He is highly recommended! More...

Michel is very passionate about what he does and it shows from all of his creativity, effort, and positive energy while capturing all special moments throughout an entire day! We are so happy that we chose him to spend the day with us for our wedding at Legare Waring House. He is very professional and timely leading up to the big day in communication about timelines and specific moments that we wanted to remember forever. Michel does a great job of capturing the whole story from getting ready early morning, to guest group pictures at the reception, to send off at the end of the night.

Michel WOWED me from my initial interaction with him. I began to research for the photographer we wanted to capture for the day I married my husband. My mother had already chosen the photographer she wanted me to use but I was not sold. So I started reaching out to 10-15 different photographers in Charleston. I was not impressed by any of them until I reached out to Michel. He IMMEDIATELY responded to my emails and was VERY quick to get back to me with excellent attention to detail, understanding of what I would need on the day of my wedding, and offering to support me as I had not even chosen my venue/even visited Charleston. NO other photographer displayed the level of professionalism that Michel displayed. I am usually on top of most details and to find someone that understood the urgency of how I work and to exceed my expectation is also VERY hard to find. Michel consulted me every step of the way. Scott and I decided to visit Charleston to scope out the area and Michel provided a list of places to visit and then we had a consultation to discuss where we wanted to get married and what shots we wanted to have the day of. I sent over an Itinerary and PowerPoint and he thoughtfully provided feedback that supported my organization and planning on the day off. Like for Real!!!!! !! Amazing! Michel already gave me immense confidence and trust that he would provide photos to cherish for life. He consistently confirmed this over and over during the process (which helped my anxiety). He understood the importance of having him on our day. We were supposed to get rain and even before our wedding he helped us to plan an alternative plan with promises of excellent photos if needed. Luckily the weather held out! Michel was early, so kind, positive, and confident and helped organize everyone before I arrived. Michel captured our wedding with utmost professionalism! He kept us laughing, providing a plan for our photo session throughout Magnolia Plantations, and encouraged me to relax to get better shots. He crawled on the ground with Fire Ants, squatted in the bushes to get more artistic shots and was SO patient!! He also carried around his supportive photography lights throughout the Park and worked his butt off to make sure we were getting captivating pictures! Michel also was flexible to split our time and even worked longer than we hired him for so that we could capture some sunset shots!!! Again, Michel was early, carried his supportive photography lights throughout downtown and laid on the ground many times to get the PERFECT SHOT! We have ALREADY seen some of his pictures prior to him even editing them and OHHHHHH MMYYYY GOSH!!I would love love love to do more photoshoot sessions with Michel in the future as he is not just an EXCELLENT AND TALENTED photographer…which he is. Michel is incredibly kind, soooo funny, so very professional, and takes his work extremely serious. Scott and I feel incredibly blessed to have met Michel and to have had him capture our Wedding. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend having him as your photographer for ANY event…you will be so so grateful you hired him!! More...

Not only was the seminar useful, we won a Free Bridal Portrait session with him. Durning the preparation of the session, Michel was prompt in returning my emails and informative in his responses. He advised me on what to bring for the session and assured me that he would take care of the rest. We met him downtown Charleston and he was there with all of his equipment ready to photograph me. He came equipt with multiple cameras and lighting, and his advice to me to bring people was definitely helpful. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed and made sure that he got the right shots.

We have had a wonderful experience using Michel and King Street Photo for our destination wedding on May 2018 in Hilton Head Island. We had a great phone interview with Michel before deciding to hire him. He probably spent close to 60 minutes answering all our questions from the photography side of it to the nuts and bolts of what we wanted and would be getting from him. We also picked his brain about venues and vendors. He had a ton of information regarding the area that he was willing to share and even helped us develop the wedding day time line in conjunction with our venue coordinator (The Dunes House which we loved!). He gave us as much control about decisions as we wanted and we felt very comfortable allowing him to have a lot of freedom. I truly feel this allowed him to capture the very artistic side of our beach wedding while meeting our very high expectations. We are over the moon happy with his very professional manner, wedding day execution, and the photos are amazing. Many of our friends and family commented on how our photographer was everywhere during our big day and the hardest working person there. I think he had three professional sized cameras on him at all times. We received images within a day or two to share with our family and friends who couldn't make it which was a nice touch. Without any hesitation I highly recommend King Street Photo for your wedding day photography. You won't be disappointed. More...

Wow! I don't usually write reviews but I feel our experience with Michel Berda of King Street Photo Weddings deserves one. First off, my husband was the one that found Michel as he was researching photographers in the Charleston area for his families reunion. He had a choice of two photographers but the Marriott where we would be staying recommended Michel Berda of King Street Photo Weddings. After speaking with Michel on the phone my husband had a good feeling and went with him. I'm so glad he did, not only was Michel prompt but he brought almost his entire studio of photographic and lighting gear with him. The session was only supposed to last about 45 minutes and Michel went above and beyond and stayed until we captured every family which was well over 2+ hours. The shoot was this past Saturday night and we were not supposed to receive the pictures for at least 2 -3 weeks to allow for processing. However Michel once again blew us away and delivered the pictures today, Tuesday morning. I have worked with A LOT of family photographers and let's just say this has to be the BEST experience I have had with a photographer. Seriously, the pictures came out AMAZING and we will cherish them for years to come. If you are even considering Michel Berda of King Street Photo Weddings for your photos just book him now, you will not be disappointed!!! More...

I first met Michel in September of 2017 while planning my company’s holiday party. I have to admit that I am a Type A personality when it comes to planning any event. I want everything organized, perfect and on time no exceptions. When meeting Michel it was immediately clear that he had a passion for his work, wanted everything organized and was not afraid to let you know if there was a better way of getting what you wanted for a perfect outcome. Our photos for that event for fabulous and people are still talking about how great the photos were.
When I was asked to get headshots and team photos for everyone at our site we again hired Michel. His passion for quality and pride in his work again was very evident. His professionalism and flexibility to help get the job done is amazing. Michel came the afternoon before the scheduled two day shoot and set-up his equipment and then arrived at 4:45AM so he would be ready before the start time of 5:30AM. Yes, it was 4:45AM!!
Not everyone likes to have their photo taken especially at 5:30 in the morning after working all night. Michel’s ability to put everyone at ease while still getting them to do what he wanted had people smiling before they even got in the door for their photo. People who hated getting their photo taken or said I never take a good picture left the room feeling that they had just taken the best photo ever.
Two days for 12 hours he took headshots and team photos. Giving direction for the perfect photo while making people smile and laugh. That is dedication you don’t see every day. I can’t wait for the next session… 2018 Holiday party!!
Thank you Michel for always making me look like a superstar.

It was an absolute honor to have Michel Berda of King Street Photo Weddings capture our engagement as it happened. From start to finish the service was impeccable. We came in from out of town and I surprised my fiancé along the waterfront. Unfamiliar with the area, Michel assisted me in choosing the perfect spot for the big surprise. If ever there was a question, he was quick to respond. Questions ranging from the best places to shoot, what time of the day, and even things he recommended to do around town. We shared close to a dozen emails, and countless texts and phone calls to make sure that everything was perfect. His passion for photography is quite evident not just in his work, but in his personality. He ensured that every moment of this day went off without a hitch. His expertise definitely helped me to remain calm during such an exciting time.Not only did I book him for the surprise itself, but we also spent over an hour after the initial engagement taking picture throughout the park. He spent the time to get to know us and captured us beautifully. His bubbly personality had us smiling and laughing throughout the shoot. Very creative and caring, all the while giving us stunning photos of the big day. We cannot thank you enough for everything you did to help ensure that this day went perfectly.

My fiance attended the Charleston Bridal show this past August and won a free engagement session from Michel (of King Street Photo Weddings). We were pleasantly surprised by how attentive to detail he was, even before going to the photoshoot. He sent a few emails with all of the information about where we'd be meeting in downtown and even asked us to come at 7:23am in order to capture a sunrise photo. We were very happy with how professional and artistic Michel is; we felt that he gives a unique approach to his photography and were very happy with all of the ideas he brought. He is very detail oriented; even down to telling my fiance to fix my pocket square a certain way and taking the time to make sure the light hit us just right in certain photos.

We hired Michel for our July 3, Hilton Head wedding, a year in advance. Being from out of state, We were a little nervous to hire someone we had never
met; but boy were we happy! From day 1, Michel created a timeline (which we revised 4 times before the wedding) in order to capture every moment of our weddinnf. The amount of photos taken was unbelievable. Michel took some of the best sunset photos I have ever seen! We could not be happier with the results. More...

Michel Berda photographed our May 20th wedding at the Sonesta Resort in HHI, and as someone who does not often leave online reviews I feel our experience with Michel deserves one! We had several calls with Michel prior to the wedding to discuss the day and the schedule of events. From the first phone call, we could tell that he was going to be fantastic. We knew he would capture every moment of our big day in the best way possible, and that's exactly what he did. We're blown away by the images, and forever get to relive our wedding day with our amazing photos. If you want the best, this is the photographer to choose. You will not be let down by Michel!

Michel is not only an amazing photographer but a genuinely caring person. He spent so much time getting to know us and what pictures we wanted as well as designing a perfect timeline. We never even had the opportunity to meet him face to face due to the distance involved in planning a destination wedding for my daughter. Myself and my husband in Canton, OH my daughter and fiancé in Sarasota FL, the venue in Hilton Head , SC and Michel in Carleston, SC. I interviewed him initially over the phone (asking many many questions). Of which he had the answers for everything. I called other photographers as well and gave my daughter the choice. After researching and looking at his photos on his website, there was no doubt that he was more than just your ordinary photographer. You could tell his photos told a story and he was a true artistic photographer. So far he has not disappointed in the delivery of some amazing photos for just a sneak peak. I know the rest of the photos will be absolutely gorgeous and am anxiously waiting to see the others. Michel along with his second shooter and videographer will give you 110 percent for the entire length of your wedding. He will not disappoint! More...

Working with Michel was an absolutely perfect experience. As a customer oriented business person, Michel's work is impeccable. He is exceptionally detail oriented and organized, making sure every aspect of our wedding photos were executed perfectly and precisely. And yet he was still very flexible, and made sure my wife and I were getting exactly what we wanted out of our day. His focus on customer satisfaction is rivaled by none. Now as a photographer, Michel is hands down the best in town. His spontaneity and creativity as a photographer was a wonderful compliment to his sheer professionalism, and as someone who does not like getting their picture taken I can honestly say that I had a great time being photographed by him. He has a great way of making you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of his lens, which is something my wife and I certainly appreciated. All in all, the day was picture perfect (pun intended). Michel could not have been ay more superb to work with and we are ecstatic with how well he has captured our wedding day in full. I simply can not recommend Michel and his services enough! More...

We had the Pleasure of Michel photographing our Daughter's Wedding in Hilton Head a few weeks ago. My Daughter wanted "first look" photos and she wanted it to be by the Lighthouse in Harbor Town. Michel accommodated her wishes even though we were dealing with intense wind that day! He was able to capture some incredible shots in Harbor Town, then we went back to the Sonesta Resort on Shipyard, where the ceremony was held on the Beach and the reception at the Beach Pavilion. Michel captured some incredible shots. He has wonderful photos of the ceremony, the guests on the beach, photos of the bridal party after the ceremony and many awesome pictures from the reception. If I had to change one thing, I would have had Michel meet up with the girls first though instead of the groom and groomsmen. It would have been better to have more photos of the girls prior to meeting up for first look, but that was how my Daughter arranged it. That would be my only suggestion that would have improved our experience, other than that, it was everything we could have expected. Michel was very prompt with his responses to our emails and questions. Prompt with reserving the date and providing our contract. We received the link to our photos within 3 weeks of the Wedding Day and he also provided a few "teaser" pictures to us. We appreciate all that you have done, Michel, to make this day memorable. Thank you!! More...

5 stars for Michel! We recently hired Michel as our wedding and engagement picture photographer. We could not have made a better choice! Prior to hiring Michel, we researched wedding photographers and after reading over many 5-star reviews for his studio we knew Michel was our top choice. After visiting Michel's booth at The Southern Bridal Show, we hired Michel based on his years of experience as a professional photographer, his detailed and organized approach to capturing the wedding timeline, and of course his awesome personality! We had fun meeting with Michel for our engagement session and he took time to get to know us and our hopes for our wedding photos in advance of the wedding. Michel also made awesome recommendations for wedding photos that we would not have thought of and did a great job capturing the moments at our wedding in the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and the Francis Marion Hotel. Michel truly went above and beyond for our wedding - we loved him and so did our bridal party, our families, and our guests! He is so great with kids and we got some amazing family portraits after the wedding that we will treasure forever. Michel really knows Charleston, and he did an amazing job capturing our bridal party at the Cistern at The College of Charleston and The Battery (where we had an amazing sunset). Michel, thank you for capturing our wedding day so beautifully!! We are so appreciative for your time and your talent!! More...

I had the pleasure of meeting Michel Berda at the Charleston Bridal show in April or May of 2016. I won a free engagement photoshoot, which was stunning! So, I decided to book him for a two hour bridal portraits session. The week of my wedding--April 2017-- I brought my mom, my mother in law, sister in law, and two of my best friends and we all met downtown. We had a fabulous time!! Michel knew all of these wonderful places in Charleston to take gorgeous pictures. My entire "party" also had a complete blast with him. He definitely kept us entertained and knew what he was doing. His creative eye is a rarity and I am so happy to have had the chance to take these photos with him. I highly recommend him to any bride; especially in Charleston (because he knows where all of these fabulous spots are). Thank you Michel for capturing these beautiful portraits for me to have for a lifetime (and for letting us have so much fun doing so)! Xx -Brittany More...

Michel and I met at one of the Charleston bridal shows and I entered for a free bridal portrait. I am not getting married here in Charleston, although I live here, and I thought it would be so nice to have some photos in my dress in the lowcountry. Michel emailed me the next day to say I had won and I was so excited! I believe this was in august of 2016 and my dress wouldn't be ready (it still needed to come in, get altered, etc) until at least March 2017..Michel said no problem and to let him know when was a good time for me. We decided for a date in early April. As that date approached, I saw heavy rain and 40 mph winds in the forecast! I couldn't stand the thought of damaging my dress before my wedding.. and I emailed Michel in a panic to change the date. We decided to change them to the next day, which had no rain in the forecast. Both days ended up being dry (although windy!) but Michel didn't give me any grief about changing the date. We went to the outskirts of Boone Hall for an hour and then met downtown to take a few more photos as the sun set. We even went into a hotel lobby to take some last shots once the sun was gone. I have only seen two teaser photos so far(which are unedited and completely stunning in quality!) but I'm so looking forward to getting to share my bridal portraits with my friends, family, husband, and anyone else who cares to see them after our June 24 wedding! Thanks for everything, Michel! You dealt with me and all of my craziness quite well and we had such a fun time! I look forward to hopefully getting the chance to work with you again! More...
