Joseph Mayden Photography is a wedding photography business based out of Whitefish, MT.
I am Joseph! My local area is perfect for weddings and elopements, the scenery is unmatched, the seasons offer a different and unique backdrop, and the time you spend out here before and after your ceremony will add to all the memories.
I’ve always believed that a photographer's true passion is being able to share the beauty of a moment from their perspective. I’m a passionate, outgoing, fun-loving person. I carry those traits over to photography so that I can capture a range of moments from intimate to adventurous and everything in between. I love what I do and look forward to working with you to capture your next adventure or the beginning of a new chapter in your life.
Bringing together nature, love, and growth is one of my calling and true passions. I will hike, drive, camp my way to the perfect shot and location. I will work with you to develop a package that fits your exact needs. I will plan it with you and maintain continuous communication. Get in touch to learn more about my photography services.

Joe Mayden
Owner | Photographer
No Shot Left Behind I’m Joe — a bold, passionate adventure lifestyle photographer and videographer driven to capture life at any altitude. With a camera in hand and a deep love for the untamed, I tell stories that embody the raw, limitless spirit of adventure. A veteran and former law enforcement officer, my journey began in 2005 while serving in the military. What started as a hobby evolved into a powerful calling. By 2020, I transitioned fully into professional photography, fueled by a desire to turn fleeting moments into timeless stories. My lens has followed me around the globe — from the rugged landscapes of the U.S. to the vibrant cultures of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Each experience sharpened my eye for emotion, movement, and the wild beauty that connects us all. Whether it's an intimate still or an epic visual journey, I bring energy, perspective, and purpose to every shot — because no shot should ever be left behind.

Joe did an amazing job for our wedding! He truly made all of our dreams come true! We didn’t hire a wedding coordinator or anything like that and he was awesome and helped to make sure everything was flowing smoothly and that everyone knew what to do. So many people complimented how on top of things he was and professional. It was a hot day and he helped to make sure that family photos went quickly and smoothly. Thank you Joe!

I was immediately impressed with Joseph because he was quick to respond and easy to communicate with and showed up on time. From our first meeting I knew Joseph was going to be great to work with. He listened to and heard the vibe we were going for. He made excellent suggestions but was never pushy. He went over and above when he guided us through the wedding rehearsal. On the wedding day where excitement and emotions were running high, Joseph was calm and patient. It felt like we’d hired a long time friend to do the photos. I would certainly recommend Joseph Mayden Photography for any of your photo desires.

Joe was amazing! I found him through a Facebook post, my husband and I traveled to Montana for wedding pictures since we were not able to have a wedding due to COVID. Joe was extremely helpful, from finding a location that had what we were looking for, to getting a bouquet that was exactly what I wanted, with the flowers I wanted! He made the process fun, even when being eaten alive by bugs! We received our gallery fast and absolutely LOVE them! Work with Joe, you won't regret it :))!

Joe was awesome to work with. Our ceremony and pictures turned out amazing. Joe worked with us in detail before the big day, laid out options, up to date weather & plans in case mother nature didn't cooperate. Joe was thoughtful in his approach, and detail oriented. I would highly recommend him for your dream Montana wedding.

We had the pleasure of doing a couples photo session with Joe and he made the experience so fun and easy! Getting professional photos done can sometimes feel awkward but he made us so comfortable and directed us on how to pose for the photos yet still made it feel like "us". Thanks Joe, for capturing memories we will cherish for a lifetime! :)
