The light
Afternoon ceremonies work well here. The warm light sits nicely on the gazebo and the meadow around it, with the lake beyond.

Private garden acreage · West Kelowna
Stephanie & Julian's wedding at Sanctuary Gardens, filmed and edited by Chad Giesbrecht.
The venue
A family-owned garden acreage in West Kelowna overlooking Okanagan Lake. Ceremonies take place under a white timber-frame gazebo set in wildflower meadows, with paths through native sage and bunchgrass. It's private and family-owned, so it feels like your own garden for the day.
Every film here was shot and edited by Chad.



From Chad
Afternoon ceremonies work well here. The warm light sits nicely on the gazebo and the meadow around it, with the lake beyond.
The timber-frame gazebo is the heart of the property, and the paths through the native sage and bunchgrass make beautiful walking portraits with the lake behind you.
Book early. Sanctuary Gardens is by appointment only, so dates go quickly and you'll want yours locked in before you plan the rest of the day.
West Kelowna wedding videographer
I'm Chad Giesbrecht, a Kelowna wedding videographer, and I've filmed weddings at Sanctuary Gardens in West Kelowna. I also film across Kelowna, Peachland and Lake Country and the rest of the Okanagan, so Sanctuary Gardens is a venue I know and can plan around. See wedding video collections, or check your date.

Silver, Gold and Diamond collections cover 8 or 10 hours with one or two filmmakers. Popular Okanagan dates fill 9–12 months ahead.
