Get ready to step into a life-sized holiday wonderland! We're building something extra sweet at Le Saint Motel this year, and we can't wait to welcome you inside.
That's right, our newest photoshoot set isn't just a gingerbread house you can pose in front of. It's a fully immersive, walk-in gingerbread house designed to make you feel like you've stepped straight into a Holiday fairytale!
Our team has been hard at work bringing this sugary dream to life, and we're aiming to have it ready by mid-November 2026, just in time for all your holiday photoshoots in Montreal!
A Gingerbread House You Can Actually Walk Into!
We've never been ones to do things halfway, and this new set is no exception.
Forget tiny gingerbread houses sitting on a kitchen counter. We're building an entire gingerbread-inspired environment that you can actually step inside!
From colourful candies to oversized icing details, every element is being handmade by our team to create a playful, larger-than-life holiday experience.
Whether you're planning adorable family portraits, festive couple photos, creative holiday content, or just want an excuse to dress up and have fun, this set is being designed with photography in mind.
And because it's at Le Saint Motel, you won't just have one festive backdrop to work with. You'll have access to our collection of immersive photo sets during your rental, so you can create an entire gallery of unique photos in one visit!
Handmade With a Whole Lot of Holiday Magic
One of our favourite parts of creating new sets is watching an idea transform into something real.
Our gingerbread house started with wooden frames and a lot of imagination. Now that the main structure is taking shape, we're moving on to the really fun part: decorating!
Our team is adding colourful candies, icing-inspired details, and plenty of whimsical finishing touches to bring the whole space together.
As with all our sets, we're taking the time to make it feel like an entire little world rather than just a backdrop.
We can't wait to share the finished result!
Saying Goodbye to Our Beloved Garden Set
Our beautiful Garden set is officially retiring to make space for the Gingerbread House!
The Garden has been part of Le Saint Motel since the beginning. Over the years, it's changed appearances, travelled to countless events and trade shows, and provided the backdrop for so many beautiful photoshoots.
From romantic portraits and fantasy photography to dreamy floral shoots, it's been one of our most versatile and beloved spaces.
But after years of service, it's time for our Garden to take a well-deserved break.
November 4, 2026, will be your last chance to shoot in the Garden before it disappears!
If you've been dreaming of photos surrounded by flowers, greenery, and our beautiful garden archway, now is the time to make it happen.
Once it's gone, it's gone, and we don't have a return date planned.
Your Holiday Photos, But Make Them Magical
Our Gingerbread House is being designed for anyone looking to create something a little different this holiday season.
Think Christmas cards that actually stand out, playful family photos, festive fashion editorials, cute couples' sessions, holiday-themed brand content, and everything in between.
You don't need to be a professional photographer to enjoy our studio, either! Le Saint Motel is a self-serve photography studio in Montreal, with continuous lighting, ring lights, and phone mounts available for you to use.
We can't wait to welcome you into our sweetest set yet!
