Reviews of Gold House Studios (Photo Studio)

Nicole Da Silva

Mikayla and her team are absolutely incredible! She’s so welcoming and kind, and makes you feel so comfortable during the session. I had a family session with her in December and she created gorgeous memories for us that will last a lifetime. I think she really takes the time to capture your true personalities, and her eye for details is impeccable. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

My partner and I have nothing but amazing things to say about Gold House Studios! We were especially nervous before we had our engagement photos taken in summer 2020 because it was our first time having professional photos done. Mikayla was extremely patient and wonderful helping us prepare our outfits, pick the location, and settle our nerves leading up to the day. We usually feel like goofy and awkward people, but the photos turned out so beautiful and flattering and we were surprised at how much FUN we had. The experience was amazing and relaxed, and she made us feel super comfortable throughout the entire process. We LOVED how the photos turned out so much that since we have done three additional sessions for different occasions (holiday card, elopement, etc.). When we first met Mikayla, she said you should enjoy the company of the person you choose as your wedding photographer because they spend the majority of your big day with you. Needless to say, her and Nathaniel feel like lifelong friends and choosing them for our photo needs might be the easiest decision we made throughout our wedding planning process. We can't wait to have them shoot our wedding this November!

We’ve used Little Gold House Designs a few times now and cannot say enough good things. Not only is Mikayla a pleasure to be around, her work is amazing. We are beyond thrilled with all the special moment they captured of our wedding day. Everyone we show the pictures to comments on what a wonderful job they did. Booking Mikayla & Nathaniel for our wedding was one of the easiest decisions and we can’t wait to use them again!

Amazingly talented!!

UPDATE: We continue to be blown away by the Gold House Studios team following our October wedding. Mikayla, Nathan, and Courtney were all involved in the coverage of our wedding and did so flawlessly. Not only did Mikayla and Nathan wrangle a 20-person wedding party with ease, every single photo looks effortless and so full of love. All of the candid photos are just as amazing as our posed ones, and every element of the day was captured perfectly, from getting ready to the very last dance floor moments. It was an absolute privilege to have GHS cover every moment of our day, and we sincerely hope the team knows the joy and happiness their photography brings to their clients, when you get to relive the best moments over and over again. ***** Mikayla took our Summer engagement photos, and they absolutely took our breath away. She took two relatively awkward humans and made us feel so comfortable, look not awkward, and so lovely. The photographs are stunning, the lighting is just amazing, we love so many of them we can't even pick favourites. We are so thrilled for both Mikayla and Nathaniel to be shooting our upcoming wedding. We will definitely be using Gold House Studios for any of our future photography needs without hesitation.

My husband and I worked with Mikayla for our intimate backyard wedding; because of COVID, there was a lot of limited things we could do. Mikayla was very flexible, fast with responses and such a joy to work with. I love all the photos she captured on our day and it makes it so hard to choose which ones to be framed! Also, amazing candid photography! Mikayla got all the shots and more that I asked for! In love with all her work, I could not recommend her and her company more! Thank you again for everything!

Mikayla did a maternity session with me and it ended up feeling like I had just spent the afternoon laughing and connecting with a dear friend. She involved me in the process and listened carefully to what I wanted as we went along. The final result was absolutely stunning. Mikayla has a way of making you feel so comfortable during the shoot, that I was amazed at how beautiful the photos turned out. She offers advice and guidance for posing and setting, but also captures the candid side of her subjects. I would highly recommend Little Gold House Designs for any occasion, as photographers that are highly professional, incredibly talented and wonderfully friendly.

Nathaniel Voll

I've never had more fun at a photo shoot. Mikayla made the experience comfortable and exciting for my son and me on our family shoot. And the photos turned out phenomenally. Can't recommend enough!

Emily Bouchard

We had both Mikayla & Nathaniel photograph our wedding - and they were an incredible team. Their style is so genuine and true to life. If you want the moments of your wedding day, or any other occasion, captured in its truest form Gold House Studios is for you!

Wendy Kelly

Little Gold House Photography was.... ✨Golden✨ My vision for my son’s covid wedding in my back yard was for it be a stress free experience, Mikayla delivered on all accounts ! She was very professional on the business wise and organically went with the flow during the ceremony. Thank you so much Mikayla ????

Holly Ayerhart

I have worked directly with Mikayla and also indirectly and she is absolutely amazing! She took our engagement photos and is so easy and fun to work with and our photos turned out spectacular! I cannot say enough good things! And I cannot wait to work with her on my own wedding day!

Alysha St. John

Mikayla and Nathaniel are AMAZING!!! Quality Photography + Quality People = Unforgettable Memories!! Thanks to them we have beautiful photos and memories of our engagement and wedding day! They have such warm, willing and wonderful personalities that made our special occasions that much more special. We love them, and you will too.

Lori Sinuita

Absolutely amazing photographer (pair) to work with. Their photos are always stunning for each wedding I have worked with them on. I am always amazed at how perfectly they can capture a couple and their loved ones throughout the day. Also amazingly pleasant, which as a venue coordinator makes it so easy to refer Gold House Studios to clients. Can't wait to work with you again in 2022!

Hayley Wallwork

I have had the pleasure of working with Mikayla twice now! Once on my wedding day and another at an in home session! It is truly like working with a friend, she makes you feel so at ease and can make drinking a coffee feel so glamorous! Her pictures are gorgeous and she is very prompt on editing them and getting them back to you quickly! You won't regret booking a session or wedding with her!

Crystal Wilson

My go-to for family and brand photography forever and for always. As someone who feels and acts perpetually awkward, it is important for me to tell you that I actually look forward to my sessions with Gold House and always love the resulting images. Humour, an incredible eye for light and angles and whatever other magic makes photos look good, all wrap up here in a delightful package. Could not recommend anything more confidently.

Emily Paints Events

Mikayla and I worked together on a branding shoot for my painting business. It was awesome! She had so many great ideas for how to stage the different shots, arranging things to really showcase my artwork. The headshots she took were excellent, and I really hope to work together on another branding shoot with her in the future. Highly recommend.

Kelly Kirk

Where do I even begin, Mikayla is just amazing. She is unbelievably professional and provides the most gorgeous photos. She really listens to what you’re looking for & provides the true quality moments you always hope to capture! She’s been a part of all of the most important moments in my life (engagement, family, pandemic wedding, maternity) and I couldn’t be happier that she was able to capture all the laughter and love. Because of her I am cherish these memories for years to come. ❤️

Mckenzie Burrill

Amazing photos, I can't say enough good things about the quality and personal touch. Mikayla captures the perfect moment and it looks so natural!

Elona Love

Where do I even start with this....I was referred to Mikayla via another videographer and it was the BEST thing that could have happened. Mikayla and Nathaniel were so wonderful and I can honestly say that they made our big day so much better by their presence. They are hard working, fun and extremely lovely people. Every interaction with them, whether a quick follow up email to the day-of was a pleasure. I sincerely appreciate them as artists, and I genuinely didn't even notice when there were cameras around because they just made myself, my husband and all of our bridal party, family and guests so comfortable- and this comfort shows in our videos. Everyone looks just so happy and relaxed in every frame, and I am overjoyed with how beautifully everything came out. I HIGHLY recommend Little Gold House Designs to everyone who is looking for an amazing videographer, person, and artist to capture their important life moments. Absolutely worth 5 stars, and I would give more if I could!

Mikayla has now photographed my family twice and in both sessions she has captured priceless smiles, giggles and special moments. She made the experience fun and inviting for my two year old son by interacting with warmth and playfulness. I would highly recommend Gold House Studio for family photos.

Rebecca Young

Gold House Studios is always my first choice for updating my family photos. Mikayla is so great to work with! I have 2 rambunctious little boys and Mikayla knows how to keep it fun for them while still capturing beautiful shots. There are always so many great photos to choose from. I will keep coming back again and again.

Jessica Patterson

We love our wedding photos! Mikayla knew exactly what kinds of pictures we wanted and we had so much fun taking them!

Janice Donkers

I can not recommend Gold House Studios enough. More than just beautiful photos, Mikayla made our session so comfortable and fun. Her approach to photography made me feel very confident in front of the camera, which ultimately made the photos turn out that much better. If you're looking for a photographer with a natural style, kind heart, and outstanding talent, Gold House Studio is it!

Faira Dewar

Mikayla takes stunning photos and makes sure you’re having fun the whole time! Great experience ????

Emma Harper

Mikayla is quite honestly the most amazing photographer I've ever worked with. She has been working with me to capture branding content for my clothing line- Simple Girl Canada. She has an incredible talent for not only capturing product perfectly but also capturing natural moments that create stunning pictures. Mikayla has the ability to make everyone feel comfortable and never fails to deliver the most beautiful galleries.

Valerie Heaton

Mikayla was AMAZING on our extended family session! She knew just how to capture the moments we hoped for, and was so patient with the kids (toddlers don’t like to sit still for some reason... ????). We couldn’t be more thrilled with the gorgeous results!!! Will 100% be booking again in the future!

Brittany Stewart

Mikayla made our maternity photo shoot so comfortable it was wonderful. She was able to meet us in a convenient location for us and had many shot ideas that helped make it so much fun but also captured all the right moments. My fiance and I were both thrilled with the pictures we received and the turn around time to see them was quick which is great since we were so eager to get a look! We cannot wait to see what she does with our engagement pictures, babies first Birthday and our wedding!!

Kelly Bee

We loved our day with Mikayla and the photos she provided us. We will cherish these photos forever and can't wait for her to capture more memories! We highly recommend her and Nathaniel

Jessica Sorenson

We cannot stop saying how amazing both Mikayla and Nathanial were as both photographers and just humans to be around for most of your wedding day. Seriously, they’re fantastic! Working with both of them was a blast, from our engagement shoot with our crazy puppy, location requests around the grounds of Copetown Woods, my strange photo prompt ideas, right down to yelling car for them while they captured wedding party pictures. Mikayla was able to bring together the few details I had with me on the morning of the wedding and bring them to life in a photograph that I really didn’t think I would ever like, never mind LOVE as much as I do. They’re so friendly, all of our guests could not stop commenting on how sweet they both are. Neither of us anticipated being all that comfortable in front of a camera, but with them we didn’t even think twice about it. The photographs are so wonderful, we honestly struggling to decide which to frame, after literal weeks of just dreamily scrolling through all of the photos. Thank goodness for a larger than necessary guest book that is still mostly empty where I can stick SO MANY PHOTOS! ????

Jason Grimes

Wonderful to work with even with three rambunctious boys! Never made me feel like an inconvenience and very encouraging.

Bradley CM

We were so lucky to have met Mikayla during the wedding show in Kitchener. Her personality is what drew us to talk to her, but her work is what set her apart from the rest of vendors. Throughout the process Mikayla has made crossing the photographer off the list of to dos one of the easiest decisions. Fast forward to our engagement shoot...she was engaging, hilarious, and made it feel so natural. Onto the big day - Mikayla captured our event perfectly. She was able to quickly organize people to ensure a smooth shoot with a blended family. Today we received the pictures, well ahead of schedule. The heart that went into the work, and her special touch is present throughout. I highly recommend Mikayla for any of your photography needs.

Katelyn Witt

We've have two amazing shoots with Mikayla and 100% recommend!! Photos are amazing, the shoots are always so much fun and she will be taking our photos for the rest of forever!!
