HOME IS WHERE THE HE(art) IS

Celebrating the profound intimacies housed by two hearts intertwined, Geist House makes the everyday ordinary feel artfully extraordinary with keepsake photos and films. As a multi-medium visual art studio, we tell intentionally crafted stories about unfiltered love, curating a seamlessly creative and collaborative documentary experience from the beginning of our time together, to your happily-ever-after end.

THE ARTIST
BEHIND the lens

Inspired by the moments that feel most like home, Courtney founded Geist House Photo and Film to preserve love as it’s truly lived—honest, unfiltered, and deeply felt. Courtney is drawn to the fleeting—the soft, unspoken, blink-and-you-miss-it seconds—and transforms them into nostalgic, enduring imagery that lives far beyond the day itself.
