About Chad Giesbrecht

You book Chad. Chad shows up. Pixel Pro isn't a roster of subcontractors; the person you talk to is the person who shoots and edits your work.

How it started

After the fire.

In the summer of 2003, the Okanagan Mountain Park fire swept through this valley and destroyed hundreds of homes. Families lost more than houses. They lost the photos and home videos of their lives.

That stuck with me. In 2004 I started Pixel Pro Productions to document Okanagan homes, families and businesses properly, so the version people could return to would be honest, beautiful and true to how it felt.

22 years later, that's still the job.

What 22 years taught me

About real estate

Buyers decide before they book the showing. I've photographed and filmed 1,500+ Okanagan listings, and the ones that sell fastest look like a place to live, not a room inventory. Realtors usually get photos within 24–48 hours, because a listing sitting without them is money lost.

About weddings

Your day happens once. After more than 150+ weddings, I've learned that what couples rewatch is the audio: the vows, the speeches, a grandparent's laugh. So I record it cleanly and keep the film honest. My wife Heather is a wedding photographer here in the valley, and we love working weddings together when it's the right fit.

About business video

A corporate video only matters if it does something: more enquiries, better hires, faster training. We agree on that goal before anything gets filmed.

Why working with the owner matters

  • One point of contact. You deal with me from the first call to delivery.
  • Same person shooting and editing. Nothing gets lost in a handoff.
  • Faster decisions. No account manager in the middle.

Pixel Pro Productions serves Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country, Vernon, Penticton, Summerland, Osoyoos, Salmon Arm and Kamloops, and travels for weddings and corporate work.
