What makes Le Saint Motel a good location for photography shoots in Montreal?
Because we built this studio specifically with you in mind. You can generate several photoshoots and a months worth of content in only one visit. Le Saint Motel is located 7-10 minutes on foot from two major metros and has accessible parking behind the building. All our sets are calibrated both in colour and light for photos - even the paint colours and finishes take into account how they appear on camera.

Can I book the studio for a private photo session or content creation?
Yes. All our bookings are private, so you'll never have a stranger in your space. Your privacy and safety are important to us. Put some music on, play with the lights, leave your stuff anywhere you want - we got you!

Are there professional lighting and backdrops available at Le Saint Motel?

Can I host a bachelorette party at Le Saint Motel?
We love bachelorettes! We suggest a two hour block so everyone can have fun, take photos, dance and have champagne (if you bring some!).


What activities can we do during a bachelorette photoshoot?
Whatever you like! The space is built for photos, but there are also arcades, a claw machine and a sound system. Dance, have fun - you can even do funny photo challenges - ask our staff for posing cards!

How many people can Le Saint Motel accommodate for group sessions?
If everyone is using gear and there are a lot of costume changes, 5-10 people is very comfortable space-wise. If everyone is just having fun, socializing and snapping pics with their phones, 20 people is easily accomodated. For larger groups, we often do intervals. Example, a brand launches a product and invites 100 influencers and guests, we would accomodate 20 people at a time: Group 1 at 11am, group 2 at 1pm, etc. This allows you to have direct contact with each person and the experience feels more exclusive and personal.

Do you offer add-ons like Polaroids, props, or decorations for parties?
Yes, we have polaroid cameras, film and even Bluetooth remotes. We also have cutlery and glassware for an additional fee.

Can we bring our own drinks, snacks, or decorations?
Yes, we just ask that you contain drinks and food to the counter area to avoid spillage and stains. Many of our decor elements are vintage or unique items we can't replace. Decorations - go wild! We just ask that you do the cleanup afterwards.

Do you have private changing areas or restrooms?
Yes we do! We have a full bathroom with room to change in the studio itself. We also have a vending machine with amenities like nails and lashes.

How long does a typical bachelorette booking last?
As long as you'd like! We have options starting at 1 hour to full-day rentals. The average party books a two hour time slot.
