About Ladd-Owen Photography
Timeless photo and video, made to help you feel seen.
Ladd-Owen Photography began with Nick's love of photojournalism, discovered in college at the University of Georgia. Beth joined to help with marketing and second shooting, and soon found she loved the creative side just as much. What we share is a passion for being there for people's best and hardest days and turning them into something they can keep. Today we are a husband-and-wife team based in Greenville, SC, serving the Upstate and Atlanta.
Nick Ladd, lead photographer and videographer. Nick studied journalism with a concentration in photojournalism at UGA. His training taught him to find the story in a moment and tell it truthfully, which is why we capture events as they really happened. He brings a wide range of experience to the team.
Beth Owen Ladd, creative director and lead editor. Beth studied political science, sociology, and criminal justice at UGA. Those degrees taught her how people communicate, how communities form, and how to research, write, and explain things clearly. She brings that foundation to every project, from planning content to helping businesses connect with their customers. She currently serves as the honorary creative lead for a local organization.
