Hi, I’m Stacia I’ve been styling brides hair in Iowa since 2010 while I was still in school. I spent hours perfecting the bride’s look, and as I watched everything come together, I realized how much I loved the energy of weddings. The way hair can transform a person and complete their entire bridal look—there was something magical about it. Hair comes in all shapes, sizes, and textures, and I see it as a blank canvas to create a style that’s as unique as you are. Whether you want timeless elegance, romantic waves, or a soft boho vibe, I’ll bring your vision to life with care and attention to detail.

Elevate your event experience. I provide premium sound system, dance floor lighting, tube lighting, full room dynamic up lighting, live DJ mixing, and emceeing, to any event you are imagining. I try to help any potential client gain a better perspective on the importance of not only hiring someone to play a role as a "DJ" - (aka someone who simply plays music) but also having that same person actively assist with the flow of the event and truly becoming integrated within your event. If you feel like we would be a great fit, I'd love the opportunity to chat!

With more than 25 years of actual DJ experience, you won’t find a more accomplished, skilled and entertaining person to help you with your wedding. Music has been in my life from an early age. At 8 years old, I would pretend to DJ on the radio using my parents’ Beach Boys records and a wooden spoon for a mic. At 17, I started DJing on the radio and I was hooked! In college I majored in communication and performing arts, where I honed my improvisation and listening skills to better connect with people and smoothly adjust to every situation.

For the longest time, I wondered what made a great photographer? Is it an expensive camera and equipment, or maybe the extensive education and fancy extra letter in your degree? The answer became clear to me that everyone can take a photo, but not just anyone can capture a moment. While those things help make up a photographer what is consistently remembered is how you tell a story through an image.

A lifelong dream of mine was always to own my own business, but it never seemed to be in the cards for me until I took a temporary position after college graduation. That position was as a floral designer, and you could say that's when I knew I had found my life's passion. From there I worked in a handful of floral shops before deciding to open my own studio. Iris & Ivy has become my labor of love. I am constantly learning new and better ways to design and honing my craft to bring each couple's vision to life. Something I hope to do for a very long time.

I’m Carrie Geno, the owner and creative spirit of Geno Photography. I am so privileged to say I spend my days capturing beautiful moments and love stories. I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and providing an amazing experience for them! Photography has held a special place in my heart since I was small, and I cannot imagine doing anything else. I seriously have the best job ever and am thankful every day that I have the opportunity to capture such significant moments.

I'll never forget the first time I went to the Rocky Mountains with my family, I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful everything was. I clearly remember thinking I HAD to get as many pictures as I could so I would never forget a single second of that vacation. And from that moment on, a love of capturing memories emerged. In college, I landed a job as a photographer for the newspaper and was a TA for film photography. I chose a major in psychology, but admittedly, I spent most of my time shooting events on campus or in the dark room obsessing about the perfect exposure.

“If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.” - Love Actually. As a florist, I get to see it all. I get to celebrate, laugh, cry, say “I’m sorry, show gratitude, or freshen up a space with you. Listening to your love stories and making sure we pick out the perfect arrangement brings me so much joy. Sometimes we can forget that this world is so full of so much goodness and love. So, whether you're celebrating your first Valentine’s or your 50th together or just simply showing people you love some love, I’m here. I’m your florist.

Relationships-they are what my business and life are built on. At the end of a wedding day, it's not uncommon to hear from not only my couples, but their families and the bridal party that they loved working with me, they couldn't believe how fun and smooth the entire day went and can't wait to work together again. And hugs.....always hugs. I am a hugger and value the time that I get to spend with you. I am a people person, I crave relationships and friendships.

During my time at The University of Iowa, I immersed myself in the world of art, majoring in Studio Art. My coursework encompassed a wide range of disciplines, including art history, photography, design, painting, drawing, ceramics, printmaking, and metalworking. While I loved exploring these various mediums, I found myself torn between them, unable to decide on a single career path. One night, a brilliant idea struck me: I didn't have to choose. This realization sparked the creation of Kayza & Vine Creative Co., a photography studio that allows me to combine my passion for art with my love of capturing moments and stories through the lens.
