We spent 2 hours in old...

Amy_L, Oct 2025

We spent 2 hours in old Montreal taking photos with beautiful backgrounds including the ferris wheel, private alley ways, and cobblestone streets. Alain was very experienced and knowledgeable. He helped to educate us and provided great local color. As an amateur photographer I enjoyed speaking with him about equipment and technique. We had a great afternoon. Thank you.

I had an amazing experience with Alain for my sister's birthday photoshoot! He drove two hours from Montreal and made us feel special from the start. Alain was friendly, attentive to details, and captured our joy perfectly. Highly recommend him for any photoshoot!

Cannot make a trip complete without great photos

Eileen_G, Oct 2024

I generally travel solo. So that makes taking pictures of myself during the travel difficult. I am glad there is such option that I can get a pro photographer to take my pictures. Mr. Alain is super nice and professional and I would recommend him to anyone who plan on doing this!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

This was a very enjoyable tour. Alain was professional, fun and very knowledgeable of the area. His vision for photography and the quality of his equipment were both first class.

Book this tour!!

HollyL_S, Jan 2023

Loved this tour! Alain picked us up from our hotel in his sparkling, clean car and took us to an amazing indoor location to shoot our family photos. He has a great eye for backgrounds, color and lighting and he has interesting ideas for scenes and poses. He's flexible, lighthearted and easy to work with. Got our photos back and they are absolutely fantastic. The fare was reasonable, comparable or even less than what I've paid for professional photos on other occasions. Download was super easy, immediate transfer to my computer. If we return to Montreal we'll call him again.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thanks for the great review! And it was a pleasure meeting & photographing you & your family :)

Highly Recommended!

Aaron_M, Dec 2022

Amazing experience, I was honestly a little nervous going into this but it was fun. The photographer was extremely professional, polite and easy to work with. He knew all the perfect spots for the photo shoot and a little history lesson to keep things interesting. Thank you for everything

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thanks for the great review Aaron! :)

Memories of a Lifetime

Howard_K, Oct 2022

When you want forever memories of your travel experiences together great photographs include you both; should be at locations of note and to be outstanding be taken by a professional like Alain Dahan. How many use selfies on their iPhone? Or use the waitstaff at a restaurant or even ask another tourist to snap a quickie on the run? We wanted forever photographic memories that capture our lasting feelings about each other and some special photographs to share with our children and grandchildren. That’s why we “invested” in professional photographs. More importantly, we did our research and knew - in advance - that our photographer Alain Dahan, was truly an experienced and proven pro! Alain is a Montreal “location” expert selecting sites perfect for our purposes; his equipment was top quality and his eye for positioning, lighting and contrast proved invaluable. After the photo shoot Alain touched up the photographs before delivery enhancing their visual quality. Be sure you select THE photographer when you proceed as this is a very personal experience. As icing on the cake, Alain is a warm and personable individual. Highly recommend.
