Having used countless photographers thus far, I’ve never had someone who can capture the details of our design like they can. This company is professional, great communicators and I can always rely on them to get the job done. Rod truly has a keen eye for details and his talents exceed all expectations. Do not hesitate- use Newport653 Photography for all your real estate project needs. You will not be disappointed! **★★★★★ — Remark Studio, Dec. 2018** > As Landscape Architects, the Pasibe’s hired us to design a backyard renovation for their home. We found them to be wonderful clients and people. The resulting design was lovingly documented with some of the most dramatic photography we have ever seen of our work! Not only did we get to work with great clients and create a fun space, the resulting photography has helped to attract more clients to our firm. We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the Pasibe’s and benefit from their amazing talent. We look forward to having them photograph future projects for us. **★★★★★ — Novella Homes, Oct. 2017** > Incredible company! I work for a custom home builder in Charleston and Newport653 is very flexible with our schedule! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. They are very professional and have the amazing finished photos to us within a week. **★★★★★ — claytondutton, May 2017** > Hired the team for my wedding photography and was stunned and thrilled with the handling of us as a couple, advice on timing and setting, and the results were simply breathtaking. If you want beautiful results, reliability and fun then hire Rod and team. > > Clayton and Natasha Dutton **★★★★★ — Spivey Architects, Inc., Aug. 2016** > Rod and Tara shot my daughter's wedding after she had researched numerous photographers. Their keen eye and work in wedding photography is frankly unsurpassed. Relatively speaking, they are new to the world of Architecture and Interior Architecture photography. I am so pleased they have entered that arena to offer the same stunning imagery they are able to create. Rod and Tara are close friends. However, they only became friends after getting to know them through their professional work. So, this review is entirely professional and based upon their integrity, ability, and their never-ending pursuit of capturing the perfect image. **★★★★★ — maureencoomler, April 2016** > The work that this company produces is nothing short of stunning. Their photography raises the ordinary to extraordinary. The consistency of style and the personable crew make the entire experience exceptional. **★★★★★ — Buffington Homes South Carolina, April 2016** > Rod and Tara Pasibe are the photographers and owners of Newport653 architectural photography. They have done an outstanding job injecting life in our homes' photography. It is one thing to be able to photograph beautiful spaces which they do very well. It is a far better photographer who can make the viewer feel the space. Rod and Tara are professional, efficient and fun. We couldn't ask for more. ## Selected projects - [Remark - Old Village](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remark-old-village-pj-vj~7905582) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Sullivans Island Historic Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sullivans-island-historic-home-pj-vj~7847048) - Location: Sullivan's Island, SC - Photos: 57 - [Classic Remodeling - Sullivans Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-remodeling-sullivans-island-pj-vj~7846496) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [BotaArch - Berwyn, PA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/botaarch-berwyn-pa-pj-vj~7738693) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [BotaArch-Buffington Homes - Kiawah Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/botaarch-buffington-homes-kiawah-island-pj-vj~7708807) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [BotaArch - Kiawah Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/botaarch-kiawah-island-pj-vj~7731089) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Artisan Landscapes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/artisan-landscapes-pj-vj~7705283) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Remark - Palmetto Bluff](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remark-palmetto-bluff-pj-vj~7694211) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Remark - Kiawah Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remark-kiawah-residence-pj-vj~7686490) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Remark - Dunham residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remark-dunham-residence-pj-vj~7671993) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Charleston Outdoor Design - Daniel Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/charleston-outdoor-design-daniel-island-pj-vj~7663346) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Charleston Outdoor Design - James Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/charleston-outdoor-design-james-island-pj-vj~7655203) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Artisan Landscapes - Daniel Island modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/artisan-landscapes-daniel-island-modern-pj-vj~7643156) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Trellis - Old Village](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/trellis-old-village-pj-vj~7602516) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Lakeside Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeside-retreat-pj-vj~7277508) - Location: Charleston, SC - Photos: 36 - [Captain's Island Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/captain-s-island-contemporary-pj-vj~7277552) - Location: Charleston, SC - Photos: 33 - [Old Village Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/old-village-oasis-pj-vj~7277542) - Location: Mount Pleasant, SC - Photos: 26 - [Remark - Brays Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remark-brays-island-pj-vj~7568752) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Artisan Landscapes - Daniel Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/artisan-landscapes-daniel-island-pj-vj~7561841) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Remark - I'on](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remark-i-on-pj-vj~7541698) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 [See all 152 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/photographers/newport653-architectural-photography-pfvwus-pf~629914601) ## Community Q&A **Q: Windows - are the window grilles inside the glass or in the exterior?** *(in Photo Questions)* Beautiful work.
