TAYLOR OWENS
Hey, I’m Taylor Owens — a videographer and content strategist based in Bozeman, Montana. I specialize in wedding films, short films, and storytelling-driven video content that feels both cinematic and grounded in real emotion.
I earned my degree in content strategy from the University of Washington, and since then, I’ve built a career around thoughtful, intentional storytelling. I run Explore Yellowstone, a digital brand that showcases the people, places, and pulse of Yellowstone’s gateway towns, and I serve as the managing editor of Explore Yellowstone magazine, where I get to blend editorial vision with visual storytelling.
When I’m not filming or writing, you’ll find me running mountain trails, skiing backcountry lines, or sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and my dogs.
If you’re drawn to honest stories and wild places — we’ll get along just fine.
SIMON LYNES
Hey, I’m Simon Jon Lynes — a photographer, filmmaker, and painter based in Bozeman, Montana, originally from the Berkshires. With a background in film and a love for storytelling, my work spans mediums but always centers around the same themes: connection, wildness, and wonder.
​
I’ve worked with brands like L.L. Bean, Salomon, and Karbon Sports, creating visuals that feel grounded, honest, and alive. I also collaborate often with my best friend, Kyle Dempsey — we’ve been chasing light, stories, and wild places together for years.
​
When I’m not behind the camera, I paint — drawing inspiration from the wilderness and dreamscapes that blur the line between the real and the imagined. It’s a slower, more introspective process, but rooted in the same love for nature and storytelling.
Home is Bozeman, where I live with the love of my life, Taylor, and our two dogs — Ullr, our Malamute-Shepherd, and Pippin, our spirited little Corgi.
Let’s create something meaningful.
