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

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.

With our wedding coming up, it wasn’t even a question to contact Jason to be our photographer! Working with him is magical— he has an eye for storytelling, and made us feel comfortable and set the tone for us to be able to tell that story with our photos! His photography is timeless, romantic, and whimsical— and that’s exactly what we asked for! Who knows what more Jason can achieve behind that lens!

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!

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!

As a couple who was 7 months pregnant with our first child at the time, the Toast Weddings team went above and beyond to cater to our unique situation and make sure our memories were beautifully preserved.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We originally worked with Johnny for our engagement photos, and those turned out beautifully. Engagement sessions are included in the wedding package, and we were excited to have him photograph our wedding. Unfortunately, Johnny had to cancel just two days before our wedding due to a family emergency. While we understand emergencies happen, we wish he had informed us sooner, as we would have tried to find another photographer in advance. Johnny mentioned that he had been canceling on other couples over the previous weeks. He provided a replacement photographer Julee, but our experience with her was extremely disappointing. Many key moments were missed, including our first kiss, and the group photos were poorly composed some with light bulbs in our faces. Several images were blurry, dark, or had strange color lines, as if taken on a phone. Guests even commented that she seemed to be standing around rather than actively photographing the day. Overall, very few of the photos were usable, and the moments we wanted to remember were lost. When we expressed our disappointment to Johnny, communication was slow and inconsistent. He initially offered edits, which he provided after some delay, but even with his editing, the photos were still not satisfactory, and we had to do additional edits ourselves. The only usable photos we have are those taken by our guests. Johnny did eventually issue a full refund, though it took 5-6 weeks to receive it. While his engagement photos were excellent, our wedding experience was extremely disappointing and stressful due to the last-minute cancellation and the poor quality of the replacement photographer.
