About

Charleston wedding photographers Rod and Tara Pasibe of Red Shutter Studio have been in operation since 2006 and business owners since 1998. Our approach to wedding photography is quite simple: natural, professional and classic.

We have shot in nearly every church and venue in Charleston and know our way around town very well. We live, work and raise our children here in Charleston. What does this mean to you?

After hundreds of weddings successfully shot, delivered and archived, we know what works and what doesn't so that means less you have to worry about. Our approach on work is this is about you, your family, your celebration. This is not about building our work portfolio. We have been there ourselves and just want to provide quality work with a friendly professional attitude. We are admirers of the classic photographers and their work. We strive to create photographs that are timeless.

Tara and Rod are in the prefect business together

We used Tara and Rod at Red Shutter studios, and they were amazing at capturing our wedding. Tara and Rod did our pre-wedding readiness photos, and everything in between right up until the end. The were so fun and easy to be around, it was more like having friends around you instead of photographers. This is coming from someone that hates to have his picture taken, so it was amazing to have Tara and Rod as our photo historians. They captured so many special moments on film that when we went over the photos after the wedding it really felt like we were reliving that day all over again. Working with them on the wedding day was such a tremendous experience, we laughed and joked and really got to appreciate the both of them as they worked their art form. I sincerely suggest using Red Shutter for any photography needs you might have, it won't feel like your just having your picture taken, it will be like your just hanging out with friends. The quality of their work is phenomenal, they are truly in the right business as you will see from their photo shots. This is the perfect team (husband and wife) to capture your special moments for you forever. Thank you so much Tara and Rod- we loved every single photo you took for us.

Highly reccommend

We absolutely loved Red Shutter husband and wife duo! They were very friendly and approachable and easy to work with. We had to move everything for our wedding inside due to the weather and they were very creative with where to take all the photos. I am sure I was being very agitated during some photos and they made me feel so much better. The pictures came out absolutely amazing. We loved the "hero shot" as well, very cool! We cannot wait to get our photos printed and hung all over our house.

Artists at work

It's hard to put into words the enormous JOY that Rod & Tara brought to our wedding. The energy, positive vibes & love that they have for their profession is incredible and it shows in their work.
These guys came through for us in a pinch during a difficult time. When everyone cancelled, these guys stepped up and showed out! We are so lucky to have gotten them.
We told them that they made us feel like movie stars and check out the image he created for us #itsthesmallthings
TRUST ME... THEY ARE THE BEST THERE IS

Amazing team!

Rod and Tara were amazing to work with! For starters, our pictures are so beautiful I could cry. People have been complimenting them non-stop. Its nearly impossible to find a select amount to print because they are all so good! And second, on a day full of chaos this married power couple brought so much calmness and laughter to our day. Tara made sure they captured specific poses that I asked for and would even show my wedding party my inspiration pics to make sure we got it right. I couldn’t have asked for anything more! Thank you so much for capturing our day so perfectly!!

Phenomenal

Tara and Rod are amazing! Communication with Tara has been effortless and Rod goes above and beyond to get the best photo. Both are professional and personable. I would recommend Tara and Rod a thousand times over. It’s not about quantity but quality.

Book. Them. Now!

BOOK. THEM. NOW! Rod & Tara are true professionals who beautifully capture the most special moments. They did a great job keeping track of our wedding day timeline and the shot list for photos we wanted. They were like ninjas, taking hundreds of photos but it never felt obtrusive. When we received our full photo collection, everyone was in awe of the beautiful images. It was excellent working with Rod & Tara and we would highly recommend Red Shutter Studio!

If you are looking for the BEST photographers, Rod and Tara are the ultimate duo! We get so many compliments on our engagement, bridal and wedding photos! They were so easy to work with throughout our wedding planning and even after the wedding was over. On the day of our wedding not only did they capture beautiful photos, they offered to help with other things to make our day run smoothly, we were so thankful! We also love that Rod is not only an awesome photographer, he is a veteran who bravely served our country! Thank you so much Rod & Tara, we look forward to working with you again in the future! :)

Tara and Rod, I absolutely love you! From the moment I stumbled on their amazing photos of other weddings, I just knew that this was the photographer for me. I worked with Tara to get everything set up and it was so easy. She was so sweet and attentive that when I heard she had arrived to our wedding, I was so excited to see her as if I have known her for years. Tara and Rod were more like an extension of our family rather than just a wedding vendor, they fit in perfectly with us! Rod has this passion for photography and you can see it in his eye as he angled and staged us perfectly for our photos. He made what normally would be a very awkward moment for us to pose for our photos, into a very fun and comfortable setting. He made everyone laugh and smile and by the end of the night everyone knew his name! I haven't gotten my all my photos back just yet, but I received some teasers and everyone keeps talking about them! Thank you so much Rod and Tara!
