Karly Cannon Artistry 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Arcata, CA
  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $175

I am a makeup artist who also offers hairstyling. I’ve been doing makeup for about 8 years and have worked weddings, events, and commercial. I love making people feel beautiful on their big day and enjoy helping make everything run smoothly. I’m very comfortable with different skin tones and types of hair. I can do many different styles of makeup from natural to full glam and airbrush. I’m always staying up to date on recent wedding trends and expanding my skills. I will work with a single bride or a large group!

I was so excited to have Karly as a part of my wedding day. She was open to my requests and delivered a makeup look that felt like me, "just elevated," which was EXACTLY what I asked for. She was punctual and made my bridesmaid comfortable and was a joy to have around. I would recommend her to any friends or acquaintances for their magical day.

Hi! I’m Jason. I’m a Malaysian-born wedding and portrait photographer living on the California Redwood Coast, serving couples from San Francisco up to Portland. I’m drawn to honest moments and quiet connection. The kind of photos that feel like you, not like a photoshoot. My approach is laid back and guided. We’ll talk through what matters to you, I’ll help shape a plan & vision, and on the day I’ll give easy direction when needed while keeping things natural. You’ll end up with photos that feel filmic, timeless, and emotionally true.

We cannot recommend Jason enough! We hired him for our wedding at the Little White Chapel in Vegas, and he absolutely exceeded our expectations. The photos are stunning, and he did an incredible job finding the best spots around the venue for unique shots. What really stood out was his ability to give direction, he told us exactly what to do to get those fantastic shots, which made us feel so comfortable. On top of his talent, his attitude was amazing. He was friendly, engaging, and fit right in with our guests. If you are looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and a joy to be around, look no further!

We cannot recommend Ocean View Hot Tubs highly enough! Simy and Humble provided the most incredible experience for our wedding in Shelter Cove. We rented all of their stunning properties, including Mango Tango for our bridal suite and rehearsal dinner. Mango Tango was absolutely perfect: gorgeous, comfortable, and spacious enough to host a long dining table for 26 guests in the main room. The floor-to-ceiling windows and wrap-around deck overlooking Black Sands Beach created an unforgettable backdrop. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind property. Our wedding party stayed in the other Ocean View Hot Tubs homes, and everyone loved them. They offered the perfect combination of closeness and privacy, with each unit boasting its own hot tub and breathtaking views. The scenery was beyond beautiful. Our wedding ceremony was held on the lawn behind the Cliff House property, with the ocean as our backdrop. Even with a touch of fog, the location was magical and unique, it couldn’t have been more perfect. As amazing as the properties are, what really made this experience stand out was working with Simy and Humble. They are the kindest, most helpful, and responsive people we encountered during our wedding planning. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was seamless, and we’d genuinely love to stay in touch with them! If you’re looking for an unforgettable venue and exceptional service, Ocean View Hot Tubs is the best choice. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of, thanks to this incredible location and team. Thank you Simy and Humble for making it so special!

From the moment we first spoke with Datso, we knew we were in good hands. Her communication style was prompt and friendly, and she’s incredibly knowledgeable about planning weddings in our area. Datso went above and beyond to help bring our vision to life, giving our unconventional micro wedding the same love and attention as a big wedding. One of the most memorable moments was when my 2-year-old, the flower girl, didn't want to walk down the aisle without me. Datso got down on her level, gently spoke to her, and helped get her comfortable - she ended up walking beautifully, even veering off to pick some flowers with the maid of honor, resulting in some of our favorite photos! Datso listened to my scatter-brained ideas and brought them to life beautifully (the pictures speak for themselves). I am forever grateful for her expertise and help. Thank you Datso!

Eivan's photo and video services were very affordable and were a major reason why we went with them. I think the photos we received turned out very well and captured many of the amazing moments that we had at the wedding. The service we paid for only included one photographer and one videographer but they were both very attentive and made sure to be where the action was the entire day. Overall, the experience was positive and for a bride who was more focused on living through the experience of her wedding, Eivan's did a good job of handling the stuff you don't really want to think about.

We used Eivan's for both engagement photos and our wedding and couldn't be happier. They are wonderful about asking for your input and making sure you are truly happy with what you are getting. The photographers and videographers are the perfect mixture of professional and casual/friendly so that you are comfortable. We loved Rachael H for engagement photos, and Heather G (photo) and Dmytro L (video) for our wedding. They also actually care about you and the event itself, starting with asking you about your story. We got both a photographer, videographer, and engagement photos for a great bundle price, which was so helpful. Customer service is also fantastic about answering questions thoroughly and quickly. After booking and after the events, they send you information about what to expect, etc. I did quite a but of research into photography companies, and I would highly highly recommend Eivan's!

They were incredibly prompt on the big day and kept everything moving smoothly without us ever feeling rushed. Their friendly, upbeat attitude made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment.
Because they knew the layout of Stambaugh so well, they anticipated shots and transitions perfectly.
That familiarity with the venue helped everything flow naturally throughout the day. They captured so many meaningful moments, both big and small, that we still cherish.
Our wedding was documented beautifully and authentically.

Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Exceptional service. Flowers don't always travel well. The flowers I ordered for my daughter's wedding bouquet and the grooms boutonniere. They arrived in less than ideal condition I contacted customer service and Alexa was incredibly helpful.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience working with Jamie and Ceremony DJs can be best summed up by the fact that multiple people told us after the ceremony they wanted to book him for their wedding and at least one got his business card! I can't imagine a better DJ, truly. When we first met with Jamie, he said he could make people dance to anything and would keep people on the dance floor all night, and he WAS NOT LYING. The whole night, the dance floor was PACKED even though it was rainy/muddy/cold/wet. Jamie took us on a journey that covered all of the bases of the music we love to hear and dance to, seamlessly and magically (?) integrating genres with the best mixes, it was pure wizardry and really captured who we were. We as a couple care a lot about music and wanted music that represented who we were and what we like to listen to, and he did not disappoint! So much prep work went into this, he took patience and time to try to understand our tastes and vibe, and it was so cool to have the wedding played on vinyl- basically, Jamie just "got it" from start to finish and we had the best time! Our wedding also got delayed due to rain and a road closure and he was such a good sport, staying late to keep us all dancing for a whole other hour- so fun! Also, when our ceremony musician was stuck in traffic due to the storm, he was so prepared and had our prelude/processional music downloaded so we could still walk down the aisle to the songs we'd chosen. Overall, such a cool, kind, funny guy who was professional and prepared in every way and honest just takes time to meet and know his clients, and clearly just loves to share his love of music. I would book him for everything if I could. BOOK THIS DJ. You will NOT regret it!

So Behold This delivered just that, and more! I swear I have looked at these photos a thousand times since we received them, they captured our day with such an incredible artistry, they were moody and sexy and JUST what I wanted from our Valentine’s Day love-fest.
